NAVA RAIPUR

The smart city of Nava Raipur, Quality of life, smart growth and resilience of cities.

Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, located in central India, is the country's first greenfield metropolitan smart city and a beacon for global planning, development and operation. In 2000, when India established Chhattisgarh as its ninth largest state in terms of population of 29 million people, municipal authorities quickly identified the need for a new state capital. Nava Raipur – or “new” Raipur – was tasked with being the future economic and financial core state.

For the new capital, urban developers had to deliver an environmentally friendly and well-planned city to bring all the most modern amenities of a successful Smart City.

Nava Raipur was planned from the ground up to offer quality of life through safety, efficiency, sustainability, and livability. Adopting world-class land use planning, the city has established a dedicated zoning system for residential, commercial and industrial use.

Recreational space accounts for almost 30% of the geographical plan, and the city includes Asia's largest man-made reservoir and other recreational venues, facilities such as its Jungle Safari, a sports stadium, adventure sports facilities, a music fountain and more. The city was designed to be a model of intelligent intelligence. growth and resilience, to accommodate a population of 600,000 citizens by 2031.
