• WHY?
Integrated Township are becoming More popular & essential to reduce pressure of the
existing city infrastructure like Road network, Water Supply, Sewage & Garbage Disposal & pollution,
arising due to rapid urbanization & increase in the growth of city, economy, business & Population. With
urban areas getting more & more crowded and no space to accommodate the future development
potential, integrated townships have been identified as a potential solution for this crises. Hence a
strong identity has to be created for a successful development in the future of the city.

• WHAT?
Integrated townships is a self-sustained development with all the basic modern amenities
developed in an plot area of more than 20 acres on outskirts adjoining to existing city having a number
of developments that include residential, commercial, retail, recreational, educational, as well as
industrial areas in some cases. They should have a proper balance of residential & commercial spaces
along with well-developed Modern infrastructure & recreational amenities besides green and open
spaces.
