Kanpur's Image Set to Change: 80 Villages to Merge with City, KDA Accelerates Plan

• Kanpur Development Authority (KDA) is incorporating 80 villages into its jurisdiction for major expansion.
• A new master plan is being prepared for these villages to ensure systematic urban development, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure facilities.
• The expansion aims to prevent unplanned growth, address population increase, and alleviate pressure on the old city's infrastructure.
• The KDA has begun preparing zonal plans and appointing consultants, with surveys and basic infrastructure planning in the first phase.
• This initiative is expected to transform Kanpur's geography, creating new residential sectors, modern townships, and boosting various economic sectors.
