 INTRODUCTION
Raipur is the capital city of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. Raipur is also the administrative
headquarters of Raipur district and Raipur division, and the largest city of the state. It is one of
the fast developing cities of India. Raipur is the biggest city of the region and a fast developing
center not just in terms of industry but tourism too.

• It has a population of 28.57 millions.

• Geographical area of 2891.98 sqkm.

• Raipur has its own railway and airport connecting all major cities of India.

• It is also accessible by road through the national highway.

EXISTING CITY STRUCTURE

• The growth of the city is apparently guided by the NH-6, which led to the growth of industries
and wholesale markets. It triggered the expansion on the northeastern and southwestern
side of the city.

• The urban pattern is generally unorganized and unplanned resulting in urban sprawl also the
inner city core lacks adequate infrastructure and basic amenities.

• Official records also indicate the development of a huge land area by unscrupulous colonizers
who changed the use of land from agricultural to residential. The unauthorized colonies and
the jhuggi clusters alongside have occupied 562 hectares or more of land.

• Another major characteristic of the city is the interconnected

system of talabs (ponds) and the settlements around it.
Most of it is manmade and in a degraded condition now.
PROBLEMS
Raipur city face with several problems with particular reference to urban land use change.

• The disposition of various uses in Raipur city is the result of public and private decisions taken
in isolated from time to time.

• The various urban land use pattern are therefore, not well co-ordinate here.

• Lack of pen spaces and other amenities.

• There is no proper relationship between industrial units and residential colonies

accommodating their workers.

• The industrial areas are far away on the fringe of the city on Bilaspur road while workers
colonies are situated in the heart of the city.

• In the context of urbanization, the city environments are polluted.

MAJOR NODES AND LANDMARK

• The major Nodes and Landmarks are along the G.E road and NH 200 like Telibandha Lake,
Jaistambh Chowk, Gadi Chowk, Sadaar Bazaar, Malviya road etc.

• The 1.5 km long Malviya Road accommodates many historic buildings including the Imperial
bank of India, Gole Bazar etc.

• The Jaistambh Chowk is where a ‘Jaistambh’ (Victory Pillar) was erected in Raipur celebrating
Independence in 1947.
MAJOR NODES AND LANDMARKS
CITY OF PONDS
• A striking feature of Raipur is its ponds, locally called as ‘talabs’. Dug for various purposes
across the country, here the aim was to store water for domestic use and also to help
increase the water table.

• The ponds not only helped in irrigation, but also were scientifically developed for water
harvesting.

• 30 years ago there were once 130 ponds is the city but now the estimated number is only
about 30 – 35 which are also in a bad condition.

• The New Master plan proposes a historic step for the development of 54 ponds within and
outside Raipur city.

• Raipur is dotted with such man-made ponds which were interconnected and acted as water
detention ponds. But gradually as the city grew and the water supply lines were laid, the
talabs were ignored and the road network interfered with these water channels.
TALABS
RAIPUR MASTER PLAN
The master Plan of Raipur city prepared by Raipur Development Authority has envisaged a
population of 2.5 million in the year 2021 by densification of certain areas. There are certain
highlights of the Master plan which are:

• The Master plan identifies organized residential development on the city outskirts to reduce
the pressure of development in the city centre. The residential areas would be green field
development using Town Development Scheme.

• The Master plan highlights High FSI commercial development on NH-6 which connects to
Naya Raipur also to help the city expand in a planned way.

• It also emphasizes on recreational spaces within the city centre to act as breathing spaces.

• More land on the Northern side of the Raipur is being allocated for Industries.

• The talabs are given special emphasis in the Master plan and some are proposed to be
developed as tourist spots.
DIRECTION OF THE GROWTH
• The Raipur Development Authority has initiated a planned development of the city by
proposing Town Development Schemes on city peripheral areas with development of
necessary quality urban infrastructure and facilities to meet the aspirations of the people of
the new State.

• This is proposed to accommodate a rapidly increasing city population and provide for an
improved quality of urban life in Raipur.

• The implementation of Town Development Schemes (TDS) will cause a planned and a
regulated city development and expansion incorporating residential, commercial, cultural,
institutional and educational sector developments with adequate public amenities.
 Introduction
• Naya Raipur is being developed in Greenfield
area of 80.13 Sq. Km. for a projected
population of 5.60 Lakhs, as a Capital City for
the State of Chhattisgarh. ‡
• It shall decongest Raipur and shall also be the
engine of growth for the region ‡
• The State Secretariat has been shifted to Naya
Raipur and is functioning since November
2012.
Site selection

The site selection and suitability analysis for the

New City, has been done considering Some
of following parameter:-

• Connected to NH-6 and NH-43.

• Railway link to Vizag, Mumbai.
• Close proximity to Airport and major urban
centers.
• Maximum Government land.
• Land unsuitable for agriculture, mining and
quarrying.
• Land having least number of existing human
settlements.
• Minimum forest cover and wild life.
• Water availability and easy drainage.
• Soil having good bearing capacity.

Naya Raipur is at a distance of approx 20 kms from Existing Raipur City.

Methodology for site selection

• On the selected site, a thorough analysis

was made of the given assets and
constraints. From this emerged a four-
focus city structure, cruciform in shape.
The foci are major work-centers, namely
the capital complex in the east, the
freight complex/light industries in the
north, the software hub in the west and
the institutional/tourist hub in the
south. The activity corridors emerging
from the four foci intersect at the
CBD/cultural complex/city park at the
geographical centre of the city.
Vision
• Naya Raipur to be developed as a modern but ‘green city’.
• For conservation of the environment and existing landscape, best practices for
water harvesting, waste water recycling and use of non-conventional energy
resources would be adopted.
• Naya Raipur designed as a citizen friendly and pedestrian friendly city.
• City design would promote sense of security and comfort among its citizens,
especially women, children and the physically challenged.

Form
The physical form of the Naya Raipur has
been developed in conformity with the
overall vision of a Smart and eco-friendly city.

The physical form of the transport network

system is a blend of three forms:
• Linear
• Cruciform and
• Grid

Bus rapid transit system

• In absence of public transport system

from the beginning, informal para-
transit services shall fill the space and it
will be very difficult to replace those at
later stage.
• A bus based efficient, reliable,
affordable public transport service from
the beginning would curtail use of
personal vehicles and other modes of
para-transit;
• BRTS will reduce congestion, decrease
emission of green-house gases and will
provide equitable accessibility.
 Rail

under implementation to
provide connectivity with
Raipur and suburbs.
 NMT

• Dedicated track for

pedestrians and cyclists
• Total length for the first phase
is 31.50km
• The layout is designed to
connect the sector level to the
BRT shelters
Physical infrastructure

Electrical
• The power requirement of Naya Raipur is to be met in three
phases.
• The city will have an underground power distribution
system along with SCADA [Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition] to have online monitoring and control of power
supply.
• Non-conventional and alternative energy resources are
being used to the maximum. Street lighting will see the use
of latest technology like T-5 and LEDs.
• Solar power will be used widely in administrative buildings,
street lighting and traffic signals.
• All power supply at city and section levels is underground.
There are no hanging wires in the city .
 Water
• The water supply system focuses on water
management products, processes and services
that are economically viable as well as socially
and environmentally acceptable, with specific
measures for water conservation and waste water
recycling.
• The initial requirement for water is being met by
constructing an Anicut on the Mahanadi river
near the village Tila.
• The city water supply system in Naya Raipur is
one of the few in India to work on the Public
Private Partnership model [PPP].
SEWAGE
• Naya Raipur will have decentralized sewage
treatment for better efficiency.
• Sewage will be treated to the standards as
prescribed by the Central/State Water
Pollution Control boards, with maximum
recycling and re-use of water for irrigation.
• Drainage along roads will be provided
without disturbing the major natural
drainage channels.
• The solid waste management system based
on the PPP model will ensure proper
selection of a waste disposal site;
segregation of household waste; separate
disposal of hazardous or bio-medical waste;
and intensive tree plantation on disposal
areas.
DRAINAGE
 Project status

• Around 3000 dwelling units

of different categories have
been handed over to the
owners ‡
• Another 4000 dwelling units
are under construction ‡
• Head of the Departments
Building at the Capitol
Complex is nearing
completion. ‡
• Other government office
buildings are under
construction. ‡
• Multiple social, residential,
recreational, institutional,
and commercial projects are
being developed.
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
The Concept of Transit Oriented Development is being adopted for Naya Raipur for making it a
sustainable city. The objectives of TOD are :

• To reduce travels by means of mixed-use developments.

• To encourage use of public transport by way of allowing more density along the public
transport corridors, which makes the public transport financially sustainable and on the other
hand it reduces usage of personal vehicles.

• To construct bus shelters within a walk able

range from the sectors.

• To connect the sectors and BRT shelters with

cycle tracks & walkways.

• To design the shelters with facilities of bicycle parking

Thereby reducing the emission of GHGs, congestion on
roads and reducing accident.
RECREATION
• Recreational areas and open spaces are integral to the Garden City Image of Naya Raipur.

• The central park in front of the Capitol complex area is being developed as more of modern, intense
activity oriented having rejuvenating features.

• Jungle safari is being developed in the area of 203 hectares.

• Based on Geographic zone of India bio-art recreation facilities will also be available with a zoo.

• An aquatic bird sanctuary in 18 hectares is being created in the Safari.

• Khandwa Garden as floating garden in the reservoir is also being developed.

• Golf Corse, Nature park, amd Snow Park through PPP mode.

• All Water bodies will be conserved in Naya Raipur.

• Theme based development plan has been prepared with

focus on intense landscape around each lake.
