LDA Changing The Urban Landscape Of Lucknow

Which key initiatives have been taken up by the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) for the development of the city?

LDA has taken a number of steps for the development of the city. We have acquired land, developed residential colonies with proper amenities like community centres, sports infrastructure, sports stadium, etc. We have planned and developed electricity sub-stations. We have also developed sewage treatment plants. We have developed a water supply network and a drainage system. As far as the infrastructure projects are concerned, there are some big projects undertaken for the development of Lucknow city as a whole. Chak Ganjaria City (CG city) is a project where we are developing a whole new city on modern lines on the government land. We have also developed sports complex on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. A cricket stadium and a football ground are part of this complex. It also has a multi-sports activity centre. There is also a sports academy proposed to be built in the same sports complex. The cricket stadium is complete and one T20 match has already been organised on this ground besides, Ranji matches.

We have also developed group housing plots in our various projects, which have been auctioned to the private players. Some projects have also been developed by the LDA on the group housing plots like Riverview apartments, Parijat, Janeshwar enclave, Smritiapartments, Srishtiapartments etc spread all over the city. We have developed another sports complex under the Kanpur Road Yojana. We have developed a mini stadium in GomtiNagar area which is housing tennis and lawn tennis courts etc besides the badminton academy.
