New farmhouse policy: 26 villages declared low-density areas

Transit-oriented development is generally characterised by compact, mixed-use development near public transport infrastructure, which provides for housing, employment and civic functions within walking distance.

Such development will help reduce usage of private vehicles. “The new TOD corridors in Delhi are to be notified soon. Once this happens, higher floor area ratio will be allowed along MG Road in villages which fall in the influence zones. These villages are Mehrauli, Sultanpur, Ghitorni and Gadaipur,” a DDA official said.

The four partially demolished malls along the MG Road stretch had been given approval “to construct and restore their buildings” by the Lieutenant-Governor’s office earlier this year.
