Bhopal Development Plan 2047 Revises Land Use and Raises Infrastructure Concerns
The proposed Bhopal Development Plan 2047 includes revisions to Green TDR provisions and outlines mixed-use and commercial land allocations totaling approximately 3,798 hectares. The plan emphasizes development based on road width and introduces a 51-km Growth Corridor for high-density mixed-use areas. While it sets specific criteria for housing construction, experts and residents of Arera Colony express concerns about infrastructure strain, parking shortages, and the impact of increased commercial activities on residential neighborhoods, especially leased properties used for offices.
