 Need for Raipur
• Raipur is being developed in
Greenfield area of 80.13 Sq. Km. for a
projected population of 5.60 Lakhs, as
a Capital City for the State of
Chhattisgarh.
• Raipur, the largest city of the state was
named its capital.
• Recognizing the growing demands for
high- quality infrastructure in the State,
the Government has decided to
establish a modern, hi-tech, eco-
friendly city.
RAIPUR
• The New Capital would serve as the
administrative capital of the State and
also cater to the infrastructural needs
of industry and trade in the region.
 Vision
‘Naya Raipur’ to be developed as a modern but ‘green city’

For conservation of the environment and existing

landscape, best practices for water harvesting, waste water
recycling and use of non-conventional energy resources
would be adopted

Naya Raipur designed as a citizen friendly and visitor

friendly city.

City design would promote sense of security and comfort

among its citizens, especially women, children and the
physically challenged.

 Transit Oriented Development
The Concept of Transit Oriented Development is being adopted for
Naya Raipur for making it a sustainable city. The objectives of TOD are
• To reduce travels by means of mixed-use developments
• To encourage use of public transport by way of allowing more density
along the public transport corridors, which makes the public transport
financially sustainable and on the other hand it reduces usage of
personal vehicles
• To construct bus shelters within a walkable range from the sectors
• To connect the sectors and BRT shelters with cycle tracks & walkways
• To design the shelters with facilities of bicycle parking
Thereby reducing the emission of GHGs, congestion on roads and
reducing accidents
NMT
 Bus Rapid Transit System
• Raipur and Naya Raipur shall be twin city needing seamless
connectivity
• BRTS, being developed shall facilitate connectivity between
Raipur and Naya Raipur and within Naya Raipur.
