Amenities
The Terminus - Transport Hub
The 6.40-acre (25,900 m 2 ) dual functioning transportation node will provide connectivity to all the important locations of the city through buses, taxis and auto rickshaws, apart from providing environment-friendly transport for moving around inside the estate.
The Maidan - Community Ground
A 14-acre (57,000 m 2 ) congregation area with an existing water body that has been recrafted, the Maidan will provide for community celebrations such as Durga Puja and other large events and gatherings.
Hospital
Educational institute
The educational infrastructure would consist of three existing schools that would be refurnished and an entirely new institute with a state-of-the-art educational format and facilities.
Golf course
Hotel and convention center
Calcutta Riverside Golf Club - Executive Golf Club
The Strand - Riverfront Promenade
Calcutta Riverside Club - Sports and Recreation Club
Sports such as badminton, tennis, basketball, cricket and football and much more will be on offer. There will also be a gymnasium and spa, and a swimming pool.
Infrastructure
Water Supply
Treated surface water from KMWSA will be supplied through the Maheshtala Booster Pumping Station.
Sewage System
Sewage would be transferred to the STPs (Sewage Treatment Plant) within the township. A new closed STP would be added to the two existing STPs to create an environment-friendly sewerage system with a recycled water distribution network.
Pond Water and Storm Water Management
An integrated pond water and storm water management system will ensure the health of the local eco-system.
Firefighting System
For fire safety, the township has been divided into eleven firefighting zones. Among these, for eight zones, the adjacent water bodies will be used; while for the other three, a combination of water bodies and underground pumps will be put to service.
Roads and Walkways
With segregated pedestrian and vehicular pathways, a clear hierarchy of road networks for easy and clear internal circulation, covered parking for all housing formats, designated surface parking for visitors, additional parking areas planned for the industrial park, commercial areas, schools and hospital, and pedestrian-friendly roads with landscaped footpaths, medians and bio-swales. Moreover, a peripheral road around the site would act as a visual shield between the township and the outside community.
Power Supply
A designated standby power supply system from CESC will ensure 24-hour power supply for the entire township.
Budget
Set to cost INR 1,200 crore, Calcutta Riverside is perhaps the most high profile project to have been taken up in the city in recent years—with the possible exception of the Salim Group's 5,000-acre (20 km 2 ) Kolkata West International, which too was cleared by the cabinet on February 13. Clearly, with assembly elections round the corner, the cabinet was in a generous mood.
Status
Thus, the estate will allow limited access to people from surrounding areas, so that they can cross over to the other side. The existing Bata girls, boys and primary school will be upgraded and a separate school on 6.65-acre (26,900 m 2 ) and a 300-bed hospital will be built.Also, special care seems to have been taken to ensure environmental sustainability. As much as 80 per cent of the property is open space. Some of the trees abounding the estate have been cut down, says Dabriwal, but none that are old and deserve to be preserved, and the buildings, especially the central spine, has been designed around it.Also there is the IT/industrial park and mall that will generate employment. The 1.2 kilometre riverfront will also be developed with recreation facilities for residents and visitors.Post completion, Calcutta Riverside will give employment to 30,570 people. No wonder the project was cleared as part of the state's social infrastructure development programme.The other project cleared in recent times—the re-development of 45 acres (180,000 m 2 ) of CESC's Mulajore power plant— similarly makes a passing nod at socio-economic development of the nearby areas.The plant, located in a densely populated area, was closed down some years ago. It is to be redeveloped into a power sub-station, a residential complex and an industrial park.
