But you need to make a master plan dvpt that ensures town planners, consultants derive optimum use of land or rather minimal acquisition of land, most of the islands scattered around can have land reclaimed from marshy water logged areas which only produce mosquitoes. A traffic network should go hand in hand with clubbing of ring road, rail, water ways network. I am also sure that all this is not possible in shot...could break down the entire project into multiple phase of development. And there shud be a gud nodal agency is appointed who have expertise in the same. On the finance part you can consider the same self - financed SPV method for these projects with a long term vision. |

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1498/dsc00258u.jpg See these pics shot frm vallarpadom ICTT area. this is how the neighbouring islands around Kochi looks like. So land aquisition is won't make a big issue, except the CRZ rules, surely mainland eastern side from eloor, kalamassery, perumbavoor, kakkanad, puthencruz, tripunithura to Edakochi is a concern. |

Thanks sanju , This was indeed required .
can any throw light on the Edappally Kuttipuram 4 lane highway , my brotherinlaw is having land close to the highway side , he is saying current price is close to 5 lac a cent, does this highway connects North Parur to Main city ... if yes , some time down we can see flats mushrooming towards Parur as its just 1 hr drive from edapally , once highway comes , time will further reduce ... |

hey nice to see the kochi forum active once again..and nice to see that the Trivandrumites are back with their moral support to kochi.. Tender has been given out to the Edapally-Kuttipuram strech but LA problems are acute, especially up to Cheranaloor where LA had happened once for 30 m width.. Most of the this strech up to chavakad will be build as bye-passes rather than widening becuase of the heavy built up on the exisiting alignment. The byepass for paravur will start from cheriappally and end near the muthukunam bridge,part of it is already build. It will 10 km long.. If the GIDA plans for a bridge to chathanad materializes then the distance from Marine drive to paravur area will be less than 15 km.. http://www.thehindu.com/2006/06/08/s...0822040300.htm |

NH-17 in the city end is stuck with the land acquisition issue. Land was acquired for 30 metres ROW, but now NHAI needs 45 metres. A lot of buildings had come up on either side of the 30 metres swath, so there is serious opposition to the new requirement.
IMHO, rather than delaying things or steamrolling the popular opinion, the road should be built in the 30 metres space. Widening chittoor road seems impossible, since every inch of the space on either side is built up, and the land price in in tens of lakhs. Same is the case for all the city roads. We should focus on roads that could be built without too much disruption to the present build ups. IMHO, the following are the needs of road infra for the greater metro area: 1. Bypass the through traffic on NH-47. Start with an 'inner bypass' using the SP/AP road. Then, by 2020, build the outer bypass Angamaly-Perumbavoor-Puthencruz-Thalayolaparambu-Vechoor-Cherthala. 2. Create a feeder freeway from Kalamassery-Edapally-Bypass-Aroor, with ramps at major intersections. 3. Create an elevated city freeway from Cheranelloor-Highcourt-Menaka-South-Thevara with ramps at major points. 4. Build arteries to CBD. |

Sudheesh, the forum software is doing something to unicode. The other forums where I post does work fine. Maybe I shbouldn't post malayalam here.
Right now, I am a bit pressed for time for translation. I can come back and do it later, or delete the post. About the Avatar, maybe you saw me around when you visited here. :LOL: |

Seems like Mr Fareed Abdul Rahman has not read the agreement properly. It is clearly mentioned that
"5.4 Upon completion of master plan that determines different plots among other things, SPV will identify plots to be converted to freehold and such plots will be converted to free hold by GoK forthwith without any further consideration or charges. Cumulative area of the plots converted to freehold will not exceed 12% of the total land area at any point of time." Why news channels are making news without reading the agreement? Kerala govt should cancel the lease agreement with TECOM. TECOM doesnt have the fund to prepare a master plan for the project. See the malta project. Dont know whether they have a clear raod map about this project also. They are constructing a 5 lakh sq feet building in malta. Its quite interesting that this is the first phase of Malta Smart City and TECOM is going all around the world to find IT companies for this space. They might be planning the same thing for Kochi also. Thats why they are not preparing atleast a master plan. Why TECOM need 500 acres of land for building such an IT park ? http://www.smartcity.ae/news/01242010.html |
