In order to promote sustainable and equitable development in urban
areas and pave way for planned development of the future urbanisation,
the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) proposes to take
up Sites and Services Schemes (S&SS) in a big way in its own land
as well as in the Land Pooling Projects (LPP).

In this connection,
it has decided to empanel consultants for S&SS and land pooling
schemes in HMDA limits and invited expression of interest from agencies
for empanelment of the said schemes. The S&SS includes development
of land, plotting and development of required infrastructure such as
laying of roads, drainage and storm water, water supply and street
lighting etc.

Apart from preparing master plans, development
plans, facilitating balanced development of infrastructure, undertaking
infrastructure projects and coordination with all line agencies
concerned with urban infrastructure services and development, the other
primary function of the HMDA is to regulate and control developments
through plans and other measures.

An HMDA official said they have
developed more than 2,500 acres of sites and services schemes in and
around the Greater Hyderabad limits. There will be survey of all
existing infrastructure such as roads and junctions, storm water drains,
water bodies, etc., within the scheme area for the purpose of design
and estimation.
