The Planner's Dilemma - A Foreword to the Development Plan of Naya Raipur

"What human beings need is not utopia ('no place') but entopia ('in place') a real city which they can build, a place which satisfies the dreamer and is acceptable to the scientist, a place where the artist and the builder merge"

Constantinos A. Doxiadis

Most cities and towns of today are the products of an evolutionary process in

which some of the larger villages or a cluster of villages have grown and diversified at

a faster pace than others. While census definitions of urban areas have usually

emphasized the size and diversified occupational structure of the population,

settlements too have grown in geographical size and often diversified in terms of their

functions as market places, administrative capitals, industrial centres or tourist towns.

No doubt, the growth and diversification of human settlements into towns and

cities have been aided by human interventions of many kinds of which the efforts to

plan their physical features or lend them a distinctive architectural character have been

of special interest to town planners, architects and historians. India takes pride in the

archeological evidence of planned cities as early as in 3000 B.C., though none of the

cities of Indus Valley Civilization period appear to have survived long enough to

influence the building of similar planned settlements, in later times. We also know of

Indraprastha and Pataliputra as planned cities of olden times but with no surviving

architectural features, they are remembered as little more than old names of today’s

Delhi and Patna. Kurukshetra has become more of a metaphor for a battleground for

just causes than the name of a planned ancient city. A long history of invasions and

internecine wars among kings, regional chieftains and other war lords have left us

with only a few forts, temples and palaces of ancient or medieval India. There are not

many cities of even 17th or 18th centuries except perhaps Jaipur, Udaipur and few

others that have been able to preserve their special architectural or planning features

up to the present day. Elsewhere, especially in Europe, some of the ancient as well as

medieval cities have survived the onslaught of time or marauders and retained much


ii

of their charm and physical features. The Roman towns in many parts of Europe are

living examples of the efforts of human beings to shape their habitations scientifically

and aesthetically.

In modern times, the end of the colonial era led to the emergence of new

nations as also the redrawing of national boundaries and of provinces within those

nations. This in turn necessitated creation of new cities or towns to serve as

administrative capitals of new nation states or their provinces. There are no doubt

some examples of new towns and cities developed by colonial governments too

essentially for administrative reasons – like the creation of summer capitals in hill

stations or cantonment towns. There have also been more seriously planned cities of

colonial times like New Delhi and Canberra. Brasilia, Islamabad, Abuja and Putrajaya

are some of the new administrative capitals planned and developed in the post-

colonial era. Another set of planned townships that have come up in many parts of the

modern world are those developed by large industrial corporations especially the steel

and automobile makers. In India, Tata Iron and Steel Company developed the

planned township of Jamshedpur which later inspired building of similar large

integrated townships especially by public sector undertakings. Bhilai, Rourkela and

Bokaro are large greenfield townships which have grown and spilled over to their

neighbourhoods to become some of the most cosmopolitan cities of India. The first

major effort after independence to develop a wholesome planned city in the country

culminated in the building of Chandigarh. Planned with painstaking details by a team

of architects and planners led by the redoubtable French architect Corbusier,

Chandigarh inspired the building of two more planned capital cities – Bhubaneshwar

and Gandhinagar. Perhaps, the success of Chandigarh should have inspired the

building of many more planned green field towns and cities all across the country.

Though, this did not happen, preparation of master plans for existing cities and towns

and planned development of new city centres or satellite townships have indeed

become a serious preoccupation of many State Governments in the country.

Planning or building new cities have perhaps not been easy decisions for

governments or city authorities. More than the problems of mobilising the required


iii

financial or skilled human resources, perhaps, what has truly deterred them is the fear

of criticism – of the location of the new cities, scope of the plans, the consultative

process involved and the administrative arrangements for management of the cities

once they are built. Planners and developers of new cities have to face many

dilemmas and deal with many imponderables. These include issues like how much of

history, heritage and culture of the region should or can be captured in the design of a

new city which is being built for future generations or may be how to balance

aesthetics and functionality. How much of the land could be set apart as open spaces

or for recreation without compromising the financial viability of the plans? How to

ensure that the plans promote social cohesion and also prevent the formation of illegal

or squatter settlements? Or say, how to devise a safe, reliable and energy efficient

transportation system for the city? Planning a robust management structure for the

planned city after it is built is another area of challenge. How does one build in

provisions against willful violations of planning norms by builders or the arbitrariness

of the city authorities themselves?

When the new state of Chhattisgarh was born on 1st of November 2000,

Raipur, the largest city of the state was named its capital. Raipur has for many

decades been a vibrant market place in central India. Yet, with an already burdened

civic infrastructure, it was ill-equipped to take on its newfound role as the

administrative capital of a rapidly growing state. There was a prolonged debate on the

need for a new city, its location and the mode of financing its development. It is

indeed a remarkable achievement that the people of Chhattisgarh and its political

leaders could arrive at a consensus on the building of a large green field city close to

Raipur. The new city which has been named ‘Naya Raipur’ would at once serve as

the administrative capital of the State and also cater to the infrastructural needs of

industry and trade in the region. Many surveys and studies were undertaken before

deciding on the precise location of the city. Planners have taken into account the

existence of a number of human habitations, water bodies and wooded areas in the

proposed location and woven those features in to the physical plan of the city. The

development plan covers a total area of 237.42 sq.kms, out of which the core area


iv

alone would be spread over 95.22 sq.kms. Development would be undertaken in

phases and the target population for the city in 2031 is 5.6 lacs.

The Urban Design of Naya Raipur is a blend of the traditional with the

futuristic, lending elegance to its major physical features and providing a soothing

ambience to its inhabitants. Fast and convenient connectivity to Raipur and other

large cities of Chhattisgarh would receive utmost attention while finalizing the

transportation plan of the new city. Building an access controlled expressway from

National Highway No. 6 and a short railway line to the new city from the Raipur –

Titlagarh – Vizagapatnam railway line and integrating the two with an intra-city Bus

Rapid Transport System (BRT) would form the core of a mass transportation plan for

Naya Raipur. Dedicated bus lanes, cycling tracks and safe pedestrian walkways

would complement the BRT and help the development of an energy efficient and

environmentally sustainable city. The road sections and junctions would be designed

to be friendly for children and persons with physical disabilities.

Planning for housing of the citizens would be another major challenge. Here,

the emphasis would be on appropriate land allocation policies to ensure affordable

housing with acceptable quality levels for all sections of the population. The existing

villages in the planning area would be upgraded with modern civic amenities to

integrate them with the rest of the city. The Development Plan has set apart large

open spaces as well as areas for sports, recreation and entertainment. It would help

people of all walks of life to come together – may be to watch a game of cricket at a

stadium, a boat ride with the children in a lake or may be just for a brisk walk in one

of the many parks.

The city is also expected to generate new employment opportunities for the

citizens. Government offices, the proposed business district, educational institutions

and entertainment complexes would generate most of the fresh employment. The plan

also provides for Industrial Parks for Information Technology, Gems and Jewellery,

Apparels, Handicrafts and other light non-polluting industries. Naya Raipur with

its high quality infrastructure should emerge as a major educational and cultural hub


v

for the entire state and all efforts would have to be made to achieve this potential. The

Institutional Area should be able to accommodate many national as well as state level

educational and training institutions, laboratories and research centers. Museums,

libraries, exhibition halls and theatres for live performances will also have to come up,

to enliven and enrich the city's cultural life.

Naya Raipur Development Authority which has prepared this development

plan with the help of a number of competent city planners and after a series of

consultations with professional organizations and special interest groups as well as

elected representatives of people realizes that it will have to live with another dilemma

for some more time. Being a green field city, Naya Raipur of today does not have a

body populace or a constituency of citizens of its own, who would dream about its

future, continuously, provide ideas and suggestions for its development, keep watch

over implementation schedules and jealously guard against unsavory interferences

with its plans. The city will fill up only slowly and it would be some more years

before it acquires a critical mass of vigilant citizens with a sense of belonging to a

planned, modern and eco-friendly city. We surely are not without friends till then and

are conscious that a large number of well wishers within and outside Chhattisgarh

would lend all support and encouragement to make Naya Raipur a model and a source

of inspiration for city planners, architects, builders and policy makers anywhere in the

world.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 The Government of Chhattisgarh has envisaged the creation of a new city by the name of Naya Raipur with state level administration functions. After various considerations a site in the south east of Raipur, dotted with natural water bodies has been selected. The site is in the west of River Mahanadi, a perennial source of water, in the middle of Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA) Planning area.

2 The NRDA area is divided into 3 layers delineating the Naya Raipur, the peripheral and the

airport zone, as following:

Delineation of Planning Layers of the Naya Raipur & its Peripheral Region

SL. No. Layer Area Included 1 Layer-I The Proposed Naya Raipur (Area-80.13 sq.km.)

Including 500 – meter wide green belt (Area-95.22 sq. km.) 2 Layer-II Naya Raipur Peripheral Region (NRPR) (Area-130.28 sq.km.)

3 Layer-III Airport Zone (Area-11.92 sq.km.)

3 Within the Naya Raipur Planning Area, 130.28 sq. km is identified as peripheral area to act as

buffer zone between the proposed Naya Raipur City and the existing Raipur. This will continue to be agricultural / rural area but to be provided with adequate social facilities for the existing population.

4 The airport zone is defined in the 11.92 sq. km area. Within the zone the airport could be extended

ultimately from present 1950 m to 3810 m runway. 5 Naya Raipur would be a planned and designed city of the 21st century to focus on socio-economic

and cultural life of Chhattisgarh having its role and recognition at national and international levels. The New city is set in salubrious natural surroundings accessed by an express way. It is envisaged as lively and vibrant city equipped with state of art physical, social and economic infrastructure.

6 The new city is envisaged to be developed in phases for an estimated population of 5.6 lakh by the

year 2031. The first phase population by 2011 is estimated as 1.5 lakh. 7 The main economic base of Naya Raipur would be Government / State Capital functions.

However diversification of economic activities would be attained by providing (a) software technology park (b) gems & jewellery and other similar industries (c) business offices (d) health education and research services and (e) regional recreational activities like Golf Course, Safari Park, and Botanical Garden. The capital complex and the business complex i.e. the CBD would be the two busiest areas in the city.

8 The new city would be provided with housing for quality living with comfortable well designed


xviii

houses with required essential facilities for education, health, recreational, day-to-day shopping. All section of the society to avail these essential community facilities. The new city would have above one lakh twenty thousand dwelling units to be provided in partly plotted and partly flatted developments divided within subsystem as following:

9,287 7.5 28 (CHB)

8 Urban Villages 6,560 5.3 8 Total 123,860 100 100

9 The Transport plan is proposed with the objective of high mobility for all and providing mass

transport system which is equitable and safe. The regional and city level transport is integrated linking the city with regional rail, highway and airport. The envisaged hierarchy of roads by right of way is:

• City Arterial Road (100 m) • Sector peripheral (60 m) • Intra Sector Roads (24 m / 18m / 12m)

Parking standards for various activities area given to provide sufficient parking both in public and private parking areas.

10 The city would be provided with high quality physical infrastructure. Mahanadi River has

perennial flow and is a dependable source of water. Based on norms to provide high quality infrastructure, total water demand of 221 mld shall be supplied through this source. Water would also be conserved through rainwater harvesting. Sewerage treatment plant with a total capacity of 150 mld, one for north and one for south is provided. The city would have two sanitary landfill sites. It would be provided with 565 MVA power supply to nearly reach the standards of a developed country and with high quality communication system.

11 Social infrastructure i.e. infrastructure for health, education, security, communication, socio-

cultural facilities has been proposed according to norms which are arguably the highest in the country. Adequate provision of land has been made in the plan to provide an elaborate system of social facilities at three levels of urban life, i.e. city level (for 5-6 lakh population), community level (level 1-1.5 lakh population), and neighbourhood level (15-20,000 population).

12 The new city is developed in an area with a number of water bodies and plantations. The attempt

in the plan is to conserve all the existing water bodies and plantations. Energy conservation shall


xix

be encouraged through community and site planning, designing and use of energy efficient materials and through landscaping.

13 The image of Naya Raipur will be a wide band of green running through the city interlaced with

lakes, intertwined in a central spine carrying the social facilities and utilities for each level of urban community life. Apart from an intricate system of intra-city green spaces, Naya Raipur proposes major open spaces at the city level and regional level larger than the greens in the major world cities. The green band is reflected through sizeable area allocated for open spaces.

1 1 Naya Raipur - Objectives and Approach

1.1 Objectives of Naya Raipur

A satellite city to Raipur holding Capital function is the primary identity of Naya Raipur. It will be modern in the use of technology, uphold worthy traditions and core values, and conserve the prevailing man- nature symbiotic culture as well as abundant natural & cultural assets in the region. The citizens will be offered a wide range of living options with equity and dignity. The city will strive to make an impact in the following role:

• An agent of economic change and social transformation in the state. • An efficient engine of growth and prosperity. • A servicing hub not only in manufacturing of goods but also in Information Technology and Bio-

Technology sectors. • A financial centre of the region. • Hub of trade and hospitality sectors in Naya Raipur • Hub of cultural services which would supplement local economy. • Hub of affordable and high quality medical services. • Hub of quality educational facilities and strive to develop as a knowledge base.

However, the vision of the city in physical terms, i.e. its form and function in two as well as three dimensional terms is delineated in a subsequent section.

For all the lofty or mundane purposes bestowed on this city, a comprehensive exercise was undertaken to find a perfect location for it. An imaginary circle of 50 km radius was drawn around Raipur and this massive area was divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant was analyzed in context of regional development, existing development, climatic factors, flora and fauna, water resources, transport network etc and the efforts yielded the present site southeast of Raipur at about 15 km distance, close to Mana Airport. The site selection methodology and site profile are detailed out in following chapters.

1.2 Methodology Adopted in Plan-Making

While venturing to prepare the Development Plan for Naya Raipur, basic studies were made in the form of a secondary survey of data on Chandigarh (the first state capital of independent India) and Raipur, the elder sister and the most important "organic" metropolis in the region.

Primary studies related to existing village population, site conditions, those related to water source/ water table etc were also carried out.

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-centres, 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


2

intersect at the CBD/cultural complex/city park at the geographical centre of the city.

The space quantum against each activity/work-centre was then ascertained going by accepted thumb-rule of the concerned industry/trade/activity, to case of capital complex, and government jobs exact figures were taken into consideration. The resultant space quantum was then allocated on two-dimension on the structure plan and final quantum, shape, location, was defined by exact boundaries/roads on the plan. With iterations, the allocated spaces were again translated in terms of number of jobs and the total number of jobs in the city arrived at. With a population of 5.6 lakhs, the Naya Raipur City is expected to generate approximately 2.2 lakh jobs, with an assumed workforce participation rate of 40%. The high standards of physical and social infrastructure adopted for the city will be able to cope with the maximum capacity of the city.

1.3 Physical Plan, Feasibility and Implementation

The present Development Plan, published hereby, is essentially a physical plan, depicting policy choices in all physical aspects of city, i.e uses of land, housing, work activities, leisure, transportation and communication, physical and social infrastructure etc. A rudimentary feasibility check has been done to understand the necessary fund sources and flow, how and from where the city will start and grow therefrom, the sources of revenue etc. This is a supporting exercise to assure that the policy choices and the basic land use allocation is feasible and over time and in the planned manner the city will be able to reach its goals.

It is envisaged that the NRDA will prepare detail plans within the prescribed zones of Development Plan. Various sizes of plots shall be carved out and allotted after assigning plot level land use as permissible within the given zone.

For certain areas, the NRDA may dispose land in bulk, e.g. one whole residential sector of 64 ha, for which design brief shall be a pre-condition for allotment. Similar design brief may be prepared for projects like IT Park, Golf Course etc.

A detailed feasibility study has been separately carried out, which charts out definite path for funds, phasing, revenues, and city management. This study corroborates the same basic assurance offered by the rudimentary study. However, only the rudimentary feasibility study and not the details have been made part of the Development Plan.

1.4 Planning and Management of the City

Under the Chhattisgarh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam 1973, and C.G. Bhumi vikash rules 1984 the Naya Raipur Development Authority has been formed as a Special Area Development Authority to plan, implement and administer Naya Raipur. The NRDA is already working out the future tasks, which will be added on to its kitty especially in light of the 74th Constitutional Amendment.

At present an area of 237.42 sq. km is delineated fully under the control of NRDA, detailed as under:

• Naya Raipur City with green belt (Planning Layer I) – 95.22 sq km- (Proposed as City Proper


3

to be acquired in bulk with a 500 m green belt around)

Tasks-Complete control in plan making, implementation and administration

• Peripheral Zone (Layer II ) – 130.10 sq.km. - (Proposed as predominantly rural area with ancillary facilities and suitable uses, not to be acquired in bulk)

Tasks- Plan making, basic infrastructure provision, development permission, administration

• Airport Zone (Layer III) – 11.92 sq km- ( land to be acquired in bulk and handed over to Airport Authority of India for implementation according to their plan after concurrence by NRDA)

The NRDA is expected to be corroborated by the following agencies among others, in executing its mammoth responsibilities.

• Chhattisgarh State Housing and Environment Department

• Chhattisgarh Housing Board - Building model housing colony for a cross section of government employees and officers in the state.

• Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board

• Chhattisgarh public Health Engineering Department and Water Resource Department - Water supply and lake linking project for the city.

• Chhattisgarh State Rural Development Department - Rehabilitation and funds for rural development

• Chhattisgarh State Public Works Department.

2 2 Site Selection

2.1 Introduction

The state of Chhattisgarh was constituted on 1st November 2000, thereby opening up new opportunities for development in the region. The state of Chhattisgarh envisions itself as a modern state to provide its people with improved quality of life. It was in conformity with this broad vision that the Government of Chhattisgarh envisaged the creation of a new Capital City by the name of Naya Raipur for the State that would not only establish the State’s identity, but also depict the hopes and aspirations of the people of Chhattisgarh.

2.2 Methodology for Site Selection

Raipur, the present day State capital has an immense potential to develop into a metropolis on account of its location and its growing importance as a major node in the trade network of Central India. Considering this latent value of the present day capital Raipur, it was decided to locate Naya Raipur – the proposed new city in close proximity to Raipur. Accordingly, a region of 50 km radius around Raipur was demarcated for selecting a site for the Naya Raipur city. The final site was selected after a detailed analysis based on the site suitability criteria with respect to several parameters (Refer fig. 2.1).

The entire region for site selection was divided into three main zones based on the relative distance from the present day State Capital as also into four different quadrants for location analysis. (Refer fig. 2.2) The analysis of the different quadrants has been carried out on the basis of certain select parameters as discussed below:

i. Transport and Infrastructure Related Criteria

− Linkage to existing transport network and easy future connectivity

− Linkage to existing infrastructure network including water, power and telecommunications

− Availability of water sources

ii. Land Availability & Suitabilty

− Availability of Government land − Land otherwise unsuitable for

agriculture, mining and quarrying − Land with development friendly

contours and other physical features

− Land with less number of existing human settlements − Land with minimum forest cover and wildlife − Land with a gentle slope to facilitate easy drainage and discharge of effluents − Soil conditions with good bearing capacity for structural stability.

iii. Environmental considerations

− Environment friendly location − Favourable climatic conditions

iv. Economic Catalysts

− Existing industries, mining resources, reserve forests, wildlife sanctuaries and other tourist attractions act as economic catalysts

− Airport, Software Technology Park to act as anticipated economic catalysts − Proximity to the Raipur City

v. Other Parameters

− Land Value in the region − Existing Airport Implications − Local Landscape Features

2.2.1 Transport and Infrastructure

The existing transport and other physical infrastructure with potential for augmentation to fulfil the new city’s demand is an important determinant for deciding the location of the proposed city. Good connectivity by road and rail is an important decisive factor to decide the success of the project. (Refer map 2.1)

2.2.1.1 Roadways

There are four major roads within the site selection region viz., three National Highways, namely; NH-6, NH-200 and NH-43 and one State Highway i.e. SH-5.

NH-6: On the west it connects the region with Nagpur as also Nasik and Mumbai through NH-2 after Dhule. On the east it connects Sambalpur and leads to Kolkata. While the stretch of NH-6 between the city of Raipur and Durg handles major volume of traffic because of the tremendous interdependence and interaction of the industrial towns of Bhilai, Durg, Borai industrial growth centre and the capital city of Raipur, the stretch beyond Raipur towards Sambalpur handles relatively less volume of traffic and thus has the potential of handling higher volume of traffic in future.

NH 200: It connects Raipur with Bilaspur. The stretch of NH-200 lying within the concerned region has potential mining belts on both the sides, cement plants and two industrial growth centers of Orla and Siltara in its vicinity thus making it highly prone to present and future heavy traffic volume.

NH-43: This road connects Raipur with Koraput and Bheemunipatnam on the south-east and further to Vishakhapatnam through NH-5. This road links the concerned region with the port city of Vishakhapatnam. Thus this is a major road handling goods traffic to and from Bhilai and Raipur to Vishakhapatnam.

SH-5 links Raipur with Dhamtari where it connects with NH-43 and has the potential to act as a major reliever to NH-43 in handling goods and passenger traffic, within the concerned region.

The other important road is the one connecting Raipur to Baloda Bazar passing through the prospective mining area and with the potential of handling high traffic volume while putting this area under intensive economic use.

Thus the potential roads for future linkages to the capital city are the stretches of NH-6 from Raipur towards Sambalpur and the NH-43 stretch from Raipur to Abhanpur.

2.2.1.2 Railways

The region enjoys very good railway connectivity. The railway lines run almost parallel to the National and State Highways. The main Mumbai – Howrah railway line passes through Raipur dividing the region into two halves, namely the Northern and the Southern halves. The other railway lines are from Raipur to Bilaspur and Raipur to Visakhapatnam. The existing railway stations within the delineated region are as listed below:

2.2.1.3 Airways

There are three airports in the sub-region. Two of the three existing airports – near Tilda and Jamul are private while the one at Mana is public. The Mana airport is about 13 km away from the city of Raipur towards the South East. This airport presently has limited facilities.

2.2.2 Availability of Water Resources

The region delineated for location of the proposed new city is dotted with water bodies in the form of lakes, ponds, rivers and irrigation canals. Water from the three lakes - Kumhari, Pirdaon and Kurud can be tapped for supplying water to the Naya Raipur. The ground water is available at a depth of around 250 ft. to 400 ft. Three rivers cross the delineated region – River Mahanandi is a perennial river while the other two viz., Seonath and Kharun are seasonal rivers (Refer fig. 2.9).

River Mahanandi being perennial in nature is also reinforced with water from Pairi and Sukha and has the capacity to discharge the requisite amount of water for the proposed Naya Raipur.

2.2.3 Land Availability & Suitability

2.2.3.1 Availability of Government Land

The availability of Government land has an important bearing on the site selection process as cost and time spent for land acquisition can be reduced substantially with the utilization of Government land. Refer figure 2.10 for the availability of government land in the different Tehsils of Durg, Dhamda, Patan, Abhanpur, Tilda and Raipur. High concentration of huge chunks of Government owned land is present along the river Mahanadi near Arang & Abhanpur and between the Baloda Bazar Road and Kharun River.

2.2.3.2 Land otherwise unsuitable for Agriculture, Mining and Quarrying

The region is well irrigated with a double cropping pattern being practised in the Raipur district. Therefore it would be prudent to locate the site for the capital city so that it has least effect on agricultural land. Abhanpur Tehsil on the south-eastern quadrant has some upland / marginal land, which is unsuitable for agriculture. Moreover, this land does not contain the mining areas.

2.2.3.3 Land with development-friendly Contours and other physical features

In general, the land in the site selection region gently slopes towards the west. The highest contour level as indicated on the topo-sheet is 320 m above the sea level. The region has various physical features in the form of lakes – the largest being located near Bhilai, uplands, dispersed forest covers, etc. The region surrounding Mandir Hasaud also has a number of big water bodies.

2.2.3.4 Land with few existing Human Settlements

The abadi areas are uniformly distributed over the fertile rice cultivated plain of the Mahanadi. Thus, the uplands/marginal lands will be favourable for the location of Naya Raipur (Refer map 2.2).

2.2.3.5 Land with minimum Forest Cover and Wildlife

The site selection region does not have a widespread forest cover except for some protected forests near Tilda, Mohrenga, Kendri and around the confluence of Mahanadi and Sukha river.

2.2.4 Environmental Considerations

The mining areas are mostly located to the north of the region stretching from northwest to northeast. The cement plant at Siltara is in the northern part of the region and the Bhilai Steel Plant, Borai Industrial growth centre and ACC cement plant are located on the western side of the region along the NH-6. These are the air polluting zones as huge quantities of dust and smoke emanate from the various industrial and mining activities in the region.

The predominant wind flow is from the southwest direction. However, in the post-monsoon and winter months the predominant wind direction is from the northeast. The trend starts varying from the month of March and by April the wind direction is from west and southwest. The wind speed in general ranges between 2.9 km. per hr. to 8.69 km. per hr.

MONTH WIND DIRECTION

Mean monthly wind speed Morning Evening

JAN C/NE C/NE 2.9 MAY SW/W C/W 8.21 AUG SW/W W/SW 8.69 NOV C/NE C/NE 3.22

It is quite evident that the dust and pollution laden air zone stretches from south-west to north-east as these zones contain the mining and the industrial belt. Thus, environmentally the southeastern part of the site selection region is the non-polluting zone and is suitable for the location of the Naya Raipur.

2.2.4.1 Land conducive to Drainage and Effluent Discharge

In general, the region delineated for site selection has good drainage and irrigation network (Refer map 2.3). However, the effluent will need to be treated before disposal and this must happen in the downstream area, i.e. towards the northern side. It appears that the S-E Quadrant has the potential for a well-planned drainage and effluent discharge system and is, therefore, suitable for locating the city .

2.2.4.2 Economic Catalysts

The presence of industrial growth centers (industrial, economic activity centre) on the northern and the western side of the delineated region would acts as an economic catalyst for the overall development of the new Capital City Region (Refer fig 4.11). The following industries in the vicinity are bound to play a role in the progress of the Region and the State as a whole.

• Cement plants (such as ACC and Century) on the northern and western side of Raipur city. • The Bhilai steel plant on the western side. • The mining site on the northern side of NH-6


11

2.2.5 Presence of Airport

An airport acts as an engine of economic growth. The setting of the Naya Raipur with respect to the location of the airport is thus an important factor where the proximity to the airport gives the added benefit of improved connectivity.

2.2.6 Quadrant Analysis

After an analysis of the different quadrants based on the various parameters discussed in the foregoing sections, the southeast quadrant was found to be most suitable for the locating the proposed new Capital City (Refer fig 2.12).

Fig 2.13: Location of Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh

Strengths of the southeast quadrant:

Availability of water due to proximity to Mahanadi River and Mahanadi Canal. Absence of mining area Availability of barren/non-agricultural land Abundant availability of government owned land Proximity to Raipur City Proximity to NH-6 and NH-43 Conducive traffic condition on NH-43 and NH-6 for providing accessibility to the new City Proximity to the Raipur-Vizainagaram and Mumbai-Kolkata Railway Line Presence of natural features like water bodies for creation of recreational spots in the city Proximity to the Airport, but availability of land outside the restricted Air Funnel zone. Zone free from pollution due to industrial centres.

The other important factors that have been taken into consideration for deciding the spatial location of the Naya Raipur is –

i. The New Capital City should not be so close to the present day capital city of Raipur that both the old and the new cities merge together due to agglomerating effect and the befitting image of the New Capital City is put to jeopardy.

ii. The site should not be so distant that Naya Raipur has a completely independent existence and the existing Raipur City becomes irrelevant.

2.2.7 Proposed Site

Based on a detailed analysis of the region delineated for the location of Naya Raipur, a site has been selected about 15 km away to the southeast of the existing Raipur. The site enjoys the advantage of the presence of the Mahanadi Canal on the southeastern side and the NH-43 on the southwestern side. The existing airport is situated between Raipur city and Naya Raipur.

3.5.1.1 Topography

The site has a gentle topography with its slope ranging from 0% to 5%. The flat terrain with natural drains flowing towards Northeast direction allows unhindered flexibility for an efficient transportation system.

3.5.1.2 Drainage Pattern

The NRDA area is dotted with water bodies in the form of lakes, ponds, nallas and irrigation canals. The area falls in the irrigation command of Left Main Canal System, on the eastern side.

3.5.1.3 Geology

The Naya Raipur and its Peripheral Region fall under three stages of geological formation viz., Raipur Stage (Chandi Formation), Charmuria Stage and Gundardehi. As per IS:1984, “Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures”, the Naya Raipur Site including the Raipur city falls under Seismic Zone I which is considered fairly stable against seismic forces.

3.5.1.4 Hydrogeology / Ground Water Availability

The study carried out in the Project report by Watson Solutions for Government of Chhattisgarh found that a thick band offers conditions favourable for the occurrence of ground water. The average depth of water level in open wells ranges from 6 to 10m below ground level.
