Lavasa - A planned hill city

• It is estimated that by the year 2030, almost 590 million people will be living in Indian cities. This huge migration took 1000 years to happen in Europe but will happen in India in just next 30-40 years. If India plans to expand its existing cities and towns, to absorb this influx and still run efficiently, it will have to build at least 500 new cities. A report by the McKinsey Global Institute, ‘India’s Urban Awakening – Building inclusive citiessustain ing economic growth’ dated April 2010 has clearly brought forward this need of rapid urbanization by accommodating a population of up to one million per city. The speed at which this has to be done requires public private partnership.
• And out of this very need, was born the planned hill city of Lavasa.  
• Lavasa is envisioned to be a city of the future where residents and visitors can live, work, learn and play, in harmony with nature.

Lavasa Master Plan

The Master Plan of Lavasa has been designed in conjunction with HOK International Limited, USA. The plan is based on the principles of New Urbanism which conveniences its residents by placing all essential components of daily life within walking distance of each other. Besides this, architectural considerations such as land character, building frontage and other design guidelines have also been taken into consideration while making the Master Plan.

In Lavasa, all residential and commercial buildings are situated in the town centre, which facilitates the ‘walk to work’ culture. The smaller villas are and more densely packed and are positioned at the base of the hills while larger villas are located further away from the town centre, as one goes up the slope. This affords minimum stress on transportation.

Land Use Master Plan

The Master plan envisages the development of 5 valleys as town centers. Lavasa predetermines use of various land parcels to ensures a planned approach to city development and orderly infrastructure. land use is integral to any investments in Lavasa.
