The Pune Municipal Corporation launched Urban Street Design Guidelines for areas falling under the city limits in 2016. These set ground rules were formed to ensure appropriate street types and street designs. Two years into the program, Pune has won accolades from the experts as well as the central government for executing the project. So far, work on the JM Road, Bhonde Colony and the Tilak Road have been completed while the congested stretches of the Laxmi Road, the Bajirao Road and the Kumthekar Road are next in the queue.  

Maharashtra state government recently mandated civic bodies to upload details of illegal properties on the official website. This was necessary because, usually action is only taken when it comes to light that the building is illegal. Innocent buyers suffer in the process. Most buyers remain aware that buildings where they have bought property are illegal.

Pune’s property market is one of the most coveted in India, attracting the interest of not only locals but non-resident Indians as well. To cater to this growing demand, housing supply has to grow. To make that happen, 11 villages have been added in the city’s fold recently. But, it is not as easy for a city to expand as it might seem.

The Centre is planning to build a 19-km highway starting from Loni near the Delhi-Ghaziabad border to the Akshardham flyover. The new highway will allow commuters to avoid the congested areas of east Delhi and reach the Saharanpur-bound national highway NH709B near Loni from the NH-24 directly. The project has received an in-principle approval while it may take upto three months to file a detailed project report.

Here is what the recent sealing drives across India's major cities tell us about the country's urban expansion.
