The design will be on display
for public till November 7. The 3D design clearly locates as to which facility
or project comes within which limits of the villages.
A team of officials from Singapore who
are associated with urban planning and the Amaravati City Master Plan-2050 have
left an indelible mark among farmers.
The experts from Singapore have prepared
a 3D design of the Amaravati capital region, including the Seed Development
Master Plan, which was kept on display at the foundation ceremony venue. It
will remain open till November 7.
“The farmers who parted with their lands
for India’s first planned river-front city are spending most of their time
here, identifying land marks,” said N. Durga Prasad, a senior official.
The 3D design clearly locates as to which
facility or project comes within which limits of the villages. The design also
presents a clear picture on the areas where the Assembly, Secretariat, Ministries,
State Gallery, Canal parks and other facilities have been proposed. In the
water body areas falling within the capital region, the design shows the
proposed projects such as wetland park, jetty downtown and downtown core. The
entire 3D design has 27 components, which cover the entire Amaravati City
Master Plan and Capital Region as well.
“I am observing the design. I need a few
more days to have an idea about the capital. The design is an easy way to
understand what the government plans to build and how it is being planned,”
Koyagura Ramesh, a farmer, said. Mr. Ramesh had parted with 75 cents at
Nelapadu for the capital. The curiosity to know more about the their land that
was given for Amaravati has been drawing farmers within the capital region, as
the design directly connects to their lives.
“Many farmers are bringing their entire
family members to have them realise that their land is being used for some
facility in Amaravati. However, each farmer is attempting to take a picture
with the design,” said a police officer. However, the maps of the capital city
and region are also made available for visitors for ready reference on any
site.
