The area is envisioned to be developed as a ‘city within a city’. Umashankar said the project ecosystem to be built with the motto of ‘live, work and play’ will provide workspace of the future, modern retail spaces, residential towers, carefully-planned spacious green spaces and dedicated bus corridors, MRTS (Metro), heliport facilities and multi-modal connectivity option.

He said the invitees appreciated the visionary approach of government for development of the project and the government for conducting pre-project launch consultations and seeking suggestions.
These suggestions included allowing developers more flexibility in planning, to develop landmark projects such as International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), universities, etc, providing information about various development and project phasing strategies and suggestions regarding payment mechanism and government assistance such as single-window mechanism that can be offered to investors to further enhance the interest of developers.
