The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) is racing against a strict six-month deadline to draft a new "structure plan" for the region, following the high-profile cancellation of its previous Development Plan (DP) in early 2025. In a bid to expedite the process, officials have approached the state's Urban Development Department to explore re-collaborating with Singapore-based planning giant Surbana Jurong. The authority is seeking legal clarity on whether its 2018 agreement with the firm which was part of an international collaboration with the Singapore government can be revived or extended without a fresh tendering process, citing the firm's existing expertise and prior work on the region's long-term urban strategy. The shift to a "structure plan" mechanism comes via recent amendments to the MRTP Act, intended to bypass the legal litigations that stalled previous planning efforts. This new blueprint will serve as the foundational map for Pune’s rapid expansion, prioritizing the 110-metre-wide Inner Ring Road, logistics hubs, and the Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre. Beyond infrastructure, the plan will strictly define land-use patterns to protect environmentally sensitive hill-slopes and green belts. However, a significant hurdle remains: the state government has yet to appoint a dedicated town planning officer, a move senior officials describe as a critical prerequisite before any agency can officially begin the six-month marathon to reshape the Pune Metropolitan Region. #saudaghar #PMRDA #PuneUrbanPlanning #SurbanaJurong #InnerRing Road #PuneInfrastructure #MaharashtraNews #UrbanDevelopment #SmartCityPune #PMR #PuneRealEstate



Driving through a city SHOULD be inconvenient if you're driving at the same time as everyone else. Space is limited, and motor vehicles take up a ton of space. Over time they keep getting bigger. Autobesity is a burden on everyone.


This is what Atal Setu or Mumbai Coastal road would have looked like with integrated metro rail or RRTS.



So many men are obsessed with marrying homely girls. Met friend whose relative married a Tier 2 girl. Now his career, intellect & social circle are stagnant. The person who lives with you transforms you. Stop looking for Savitri in Kalyug, she's not gonna help you survive.
