How is the peri-urban area being transformed?

Legend:

The peri-urban areas are under a constant threat of urban sprawl and loss of identity. Development control lines and agricultural conservation areas established will curb the development, protect the agricultural lands and conserve biodiversity. All of the fish ponds and the urban green structures are connected through green axes. They fracture the built fabric but integrating with green to provide buffer spaces and moderate the air quality. The three olds are identified and regeneration lines are established where new interventions would be developed in the future.

There’s an existing medical centre which forms the base for the establishment of the knowledge economy. Testing centres, workshops, research labs are created in this new centrality to boost this to the surrounding regions. The new centre encompasses medical centres, the three olds and the green areas and is transformed into a multifunctional space. For the creation of productive landscapes, agricultural lands will look at increasing the food production capacity with the help of new research centres. These areas along with the fish ponds also facilitate eco-tourism and agro-tourism for revenue generation. Multifunctional landscapes are created by using the existing infrastructure lines like highways to increase the efficiency of land use.
