HYDERABAD: The Telangana Developers Association (TDA) has suggested that Hyderabad should have a suburban master plan to facilitate balanced expansion on all four sides of the city.The TDA suggestion was in light of the Telangana govt starting the exercise to prepare the master plan for Hyderabad metropolitan region 2050 a few months ago.In a letter to chief minister A Revanth Reddy, TDA president GV Rao and secretary Srinivas Goud said that to ensure sustainable growth, the carrying capacity of future satellite cities should be meticulously calculated based on the ideal population density for each area, with infrastructure development planned accordingly to support long-term stability and scalability.“High density will result in harsh conditions as we are experiencing in Bengaluru and Delhi. All four corners of the city should have civil infrastructure of the same level with health, education and employment-generating corridors such as IT,” Rao said.TDA president said that as the city and suburban areas’ population is growing by three lakh every year, the govt has to plan water for such a huge future population.“The govt has to audit present supply capacity, drinking and industrial water requirements in the future by appointing expert consultancy or any university on water requirements of the city for the next 50 years,” he said.They also said that the Regional Ring Road (RRR), Future City and Metro Rail expansion would be a game changer . RRR has great potential to increase Hyderabad’s economic activity , they said.
