1. Essential Utilities
For any development to be viable, the following utilities are fundamental:
- Water Supply and Sewage Systems: Ensuring a consistent and safe water supply, along with efficient sewage disposal, is crucial. The Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) emphasizes the development of robust sewage networks and water supply systems in urban areas.
- Electricity and Power Infrastructure: Reliable electricity is essential for both construction and long-term occupancy. This includes the installation of transformers, substations, and distribution networks.
- Telecommunication and Internet Connectivity: In the digital age, high-speed internet and mobile connectivity are indispensable for residential and commercial developments.
2. Transportation and Access
Accessibility significantly influences a property’s value and usability:
- Road Networks: Constructing internal roads and ensuring connectivity to major highways or city roads facilitates movement and logistics.
- Public Transportation Links: Proximity to bus stops, metro stations, or railway lines enhances the appeal of a development, especially in urban settings.
- Parking and Pedestrian Pathways: Adequate parking facilities and safe pedestrian walkways contribute to the convenience and safety of residents and visitors.
3. Social and Community Infrastructure
Beyond basic utilities and access, developments should cater to the broader needs of the community:
- Educational Institutions: Schools and colleges within or near the development attract families and contribute to community growth.
- Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies are vital for ensuring the well-being of residents.
- Recreational Spaces: Parks, community centers, and sports facilities enhance the quality of life and foster community engagement.
- Commercial Amenities: Retail outlets, supermarkets, and restaurants provide convenience and stimulate local economies.
