New Delhi, Oct 16 With an aim to develop more housing in the next few years the Delhi Development Authourity (DDA) has started a month-long campaign for its land pooling policy, officials said on Friday.
The Land Pooling Policy covers nearly 200 square kilometre area with the potential to create around 12 lakh new homes.
“Under LG Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the campaign comprises a series of village-level programmes to familiarise landowners, farmers and other stakeholders with the development models envisaged under the Land Pooling Policy,” DDA said.
The policy provides a framework for planned urban development through the active participation of landowners and private entities, in partnership with DDA, through assembly of land, town planning schemes or through any other models, the statement added.
The policy promotes an infrastructure-first approach, with DDA undertaking phased development of the Road Network Plan (RNP), comprising roads with a Right of Way (RoW) of 30 metres and above.
“With more than 600 kilometres of additional road network planned, the policy aims to strengthen connectivity and improve mobility in the areas,” statement further said.
A High Density Corridor along Urban Extension Road-II is also planned under the Master Plan of Delhi 2047 to promote affordable housing, commercial development, logistics, warehousing and employment generation.
