PR / MASTERPLANNING WRITE-UP | RIVERFRONT TOWNSHIP | SHALIMAR, KOLKATA
A 30 Lakh Sq.Ft Ganga-Side Urban Vision by TDC
A landmark 30 lakh sq.ft township is being envisioned at Shalimar, Kolkata, located next to the Ganga and within the larger context of the Howrah Bridge corridor—one of the most culturally and geographically significant urban edges of the city. TDC is leading the masterplanning vision, shaping the project as a complete riverfront community defined by views, ventilation, and long-term urban clarity.
This development is being approached not merely as a large housing layout, but as a strategically planned township ecosystem—where infrastructure, circulation, services, and spatial planning come together to form a cohesive and future-ready urban environment.
Masterplanning Vision & Township Strategy
- River-oriented planning framework
The masterplan ensures that the majority of residences are river-facing, capturing panoramic views of the Ganga while enhancing emotional and spatial connection with the waterfront. - Ventilation-driven design
Building orientations, spacing, and open corridors are planned to maximize cross-ventilation and climatic comfort, making natural airflow a defining feature of the township. - Infrastructure-led planning
Roads, utilities, drainage systems, and service corridors are integrated from the outset to support long-term functionality and ease of maintenance. - Clear circulation hierarchy
Structured vehicular, pedestrian, and service movement ensures safety, accessibility, and legibility at township scale. - Phased development strategy
The township is planned to evolve in carefully structured phases—ensuring execution clarity, financial viability, and uninterrupted usability at every stage. - Mixed-use urban ecosystem
Residential clusters are complemented by community amenities, lifestyle zones, and activity nodes—creating a balanced live–work–leisure environment. - Place-making through riverfront identity
Open spaces, viewing decks, and landscape edges are aligned to strengthen the township’s identity as a distinctive riverfront address.
