The proposed project at Karkardooma is “conceptualised to be a new transit-oriented development that imbibes the core values of a sustainable ‘Smart City'”, the minutes of the 65th meeting of the EAC held on May 27-28 read.
“At the site, 462 trees are existing, of which 123 trees shall be cut and 20 trees shall be transplanted, while 3,200 trees are proposed for plantation at the site,” the minutes read.
“Considering the large scale of the project and the population involved for all activities, it is therefore desirable that the project demonstrates all sustainable development parameters and environmental concerns,” the EAC said.
It will comprise 6,518 dwelling units, including 1,992 for the Economically Weaker Sections , along with various amenities like schools, dispensaries, library, cultural centre, community halls, convenient shopping, community spaces and creche.
