Along with BRTS development, public housing was also launched in Asarwa's core district under the "Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission" (JNNURM) scheme, which included new public housing and a BRTS Corridor (kalupur).

Street Networks in Terms of Connectivity and Accessibility. Asarwa, the one square kilometer study area for this report, consists of ring radial structure, however the internal roadways were congested and convoluted. This report includes a thorough analysis of the Asarwa's road network.

The area is cut in two by Hanumansingh Road, which connects to the Asarwa Lake on the east and Chamunda Road on the west. Asarwa has a dense population, with most residents confined to the local and collector streets. Asarwa has an organic road network, with internal local streets laid out in a "Fused Grid" pattern that resembles a math puzzle. However, the overall road connectivity experience is well-established.

The key arterial roads, such as Hanuman Singh Road, Hospital Road, and Asarwa Road, experienced significant development across the entire region. They served as major connectors between the industrial and residential districts. This is what attracts the enormous crowds in the second half of the day. The Collector Road accounts for 41.6 percent of the total number of roads in the precinct, with ROWs ranging from 8 to 5 meters. Local Streets account for 51.1 percent of the total number of roadways in the area, with ROWs ranging from 4 to 2 meters.
