NAVA RAIPUR – A NEW CITY TAKES ROOT

BY APARNA.S

1
Introduction
• The smart city of Nava Raipur Atal Nagar came into
existence after the birth of the new state of
Chhattisgarh on 1st November 2000. Thus,Nava
Raipur Atal Nagar served as the administrative
capital of the state and catered to the infrastructural
needs of industry and trade in the region.
• Migration towards cities have put immense pressure
on the infrastructure resulting in unplanned
urbanization. Considering these issues, Government
of Chhattisgarh decided to build Nava Raipur Atal
Nagar as a new world-class smart city which is
modern but is built on green norms.
• NRANVP started with preparation of development
plan with the help of a number of competent city
planners, professional consulting organizations,
special interest groups and elected representatives. 2
VISION
◈ Naya Raipur would be a planned and designed new city of the 21st century to be a
focus of socioeconomic and cultural life of the state of Chhattisgarh having its role
and recognition at national and international levels. The new city would be eco-
friendly integrated in its inspiring existing landscape; efficient, healthy; modern,
but caring for its traditional values.

Planning Layer I (Naya Raipur
City including green belt area) –
95 .22 sq km (9522 .00 ha )
• Planning Layer II (Peripheral
rural Zone) – 130 .28 sq km
(13028 .00 ha )
• Planning Layer III (Airport
Zone) – 11 .92 sq km (1192 .56
ha)

HOUSING:
Naya Raipur is being developed
over an area of 8013 ha. NRDA has
decided that the land required for
the development shall be purchased
from the farmers directly with their
consent instead of acquiring the land
under the Land Acquisition Act, as
far as possible.
• Families of any village which need
to be relocated on account of
development works of the NRDA
would be provided new houses in a
residential colony developed by
NRDA close to their existing homes.
• Special benefits are also provided
to the project affected landless
labourers. 8
TRANSPORTATION:
• To minimize usage of personalized modes
public mass transport Bus rapid transit
system (BRTS) and Light rail Transit
system (LRTS) have been proposed.
• Interim transport services will be provided
to facilitate the movement of people
between Raipur and Naya Raipur till BRTS
is operational.
• Intermediate Public Transport modes have
also been incorporated in the Local Area
Plans and space have been allocated for
parking and other need off the operators.

9
These precincts will be interlinked
by:
• An efficient and smooth Mass
Rapid Transit System running
linearly along the NorthSouth axis
of the city.
• City level pedestrian corridor, and
• A continuous green and open-
space spine running centrally
along the city spine and containing
sub-city level facilities.

Design Statergies
• The transportation network for NRANVP was based on the concept of accessibility,
affordability, equitable and safe mobility. 100km of four and six lane city level roads
have already been constructed with 55km of LED street lights.
• 55 kms of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) cycling track and pedestrian pathway built to
make Nava Raipur Atal Nagar a pedestrian and cycle friendly city.
• All the power supply network in the city is underground, reduce transmission and
distribution loss. Some of the key features of the smart energy system are to reduce
redundancy, underground cable network, solar panels, wind powered street lights (pilot
project), intelligent street light management system, smart meters, and electrical
charging stations.
• 14 numbers 33KV electrical sub-stations and all underground networks within the city
have been implemented. Ring main network at sector level and city level is planned as
a backup for the existing power supply.

13
Design Statergies
• Nava Raipur Atal Nagar is covered with 100% piped domestic waste water collection
.
thereby making it a Zero Discharge City. Storm water, sewerage, recycled waste
water networks, decentralized STPs and sensors for monitoring have already been
implemented. The recycled water is consumed for flushing, irrigation purposes and
gardening. Five Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) have been built in Nava Raipur Atal
Nagar out of which four modular STPs are Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) and one is
Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) for Capitol Complex.

14
Design Statergies
• Intelligent Building Management System has been installed and configured for Paryavas
Bhawan (Nava Raipur Atal Nagar office) and Integrated Command and Control
Building which shall monitor the building’s mechanical and electrical equipmentsuch
asentilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems and security systems.
• Automatic number plate recognition system has been deployed across 8 entry/exit
points of Nava Raipur Atal Nagar and speed detection system has been deployed at 10
strategic locations across Nava Raipur Atal Nagar. Both these systems are seamlessly
integrated with the ICCC and provide real time alerts in an event of an over speeding
vehicle (moving above the allowed speed limit) and in an event of hot listed vehicle
being detected.
• Continuous city surveillance through bullet and PTZ cameras, to ensure citizen safety,
act as deterrent to criminal activities.
• To minimize usage of personalized modes public mass transport Bus rapid transit system
(BRTS) and Light rail Transit system (LRTS) have been proposed.

Inference
Well connected
• It is 8 kilometers away from Swami Vivekanand Airport and 15 kilometers away from the
center of Raipur city.
Underground water supply
• 24x7 supply network integrated with SCADA.
Integrated and centralized command & control centre
• The ICCC is revolutionary and serves as the backbone of the city by supervising,
consolidation reporting and processing analytics of the data.
Green-field city
• Approximately 30% of the Nava Raipur Atal Nagar is reserved for afforestation purposes,
which makes this city truly smart
