Three strategic components of Area based development in the Smart City mission are:
Retrofitting: This introduces planning in existing built-up area with an objective to make the existing area more efficient and livable. Minimum area of 500 acres would be taken up under this model. For Rourkela best example under this is Main Bazaar Area / Panposh area, etc
Redevelopment: This involves replacement of existing built-up environment and enables co creation of new layouts with enhanced infrastructure using mixed land use and increase density. Minimum area of 50 acres would be taken up under this model. For Rourkela best example under this is Madhusudanpalli / Malgodown area and Pradhan palli area, etc.
Greenfield: This involves introducing most of Smart solutions in a previously vacant area. Using innovative planning, plan financing and plan implementation tools. Minimum area of 500 acres would be taken up under this model. For Rourkela best example under this is Riun Village/ Cheend colony, BPUT area, TISCO quarry siding and Kalinga Vihar area, etc.
Suggestions are invited from citizens of Rourkela/stakeholders/ associations/ NGO/groups to identify the areas to be taken up for area based development under Smart City Proposal.
The last date to submit your suggestions/ comments is 30th November, 2015.
