[in-enaction] eh! 5 new mega-cities in Delhi by 2021 (!)

Those worried sick about Delhi’s population explosion and its housing 
requirements need not press the panic button. For, five new mega 
townships will come up in the capital by 2021. These will be 
self-contained sub-cities with hospitals, universities, markets, 
amusement parks, exhibition centres, art galleries and a modern public 
transport system.

The Delhi Development Authority, over the last few months, has approved 
the draft plan of the five new townships. The proposed townships will 
come up on a total area of 60,000 hectares and can together accommodate 
about 73 lakh people. They will have an estimated 14 lakh dwelling 
units. Thirty-five per cent of the dwelling units will be reserved for 
people from the economically weaker sections. Private developers will 
play a major role in developing these townships.
