A Home Amidst Greenery – Your Family’s Happiness And Wellbeing
Much has been said about Pune properties lacking the benefit of adequate greenery. It is true that rapid and uncontrolled urbanization is reducing the greenery within the Pune Municipal Corporation more and more. A lot of NRI IT professionals returning to Pune from abroad express shock at how much the city has become ‘concretized’.
One of the prime drivers of Pune real estate used to be the city’s erstwhile green cover. It therefore comes as no surprise that more and more Pune property buyers are choosing residential township properties in the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The green cover in the PCMC area is intact and in fact flourishing despite the real estate boom happening there.
The reason for the difference between central Pune and the PCMC area as far as green cover is concerned is simply scientific, controlled development. The PCNTDA (Pimpri Chinchwad New Town Development Authority) has ensured that real estate development does not compromise the bountiful flora and fauna in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
‘Pimpri Chinchwad is a rapidly developing industrial and commercial centre in Maharashtra, India. It is one of the primary centres for the automobile industry cluster in India, and nearby Pune is a education centre commonly referred to as the “Oxford of the East”. The area is known for its busy commerce, plethora of industries, fine educational institutions, and a rapidly growing middle class and standard of living.
However, this rapid growth has created problems with infrastructure, affordable housing and the environment. The PCNTDA was established to tackle these issues and has a purview that extends over Mulshi and Haveli taluka.’ (Source: http://pcntda.org.in/)
The PCNTDA long ago recognized that without sufficient trees and other forms of greenery, the life of residents in any area becomes melancholic and depressive. Moreover, it took into consideration the fact that trees do a lot to neutralize the effects of urban pollution. Ensuring the presence of sufficient greenery is one of the foremost defenses against environmental, economic and health risks.
Reputed developers of township properties in Pimpri-Chinchwad have also taken into account the need for trees and other vegetation. In PCMC, integrated township projects such as Woodsville in Moshi and Celestial City in Ravet are rich with trees, shrubbery and other forms of greenery. In these projects, homeowners can still benefit from healthy, green, natural surroundings while also having all the advantages of modern city life at their disposal.
A green homes environment makes a huge difference in terms of health, quality of life and overall wellbeing. Adequate tree cover also brings down air temperature significantly (reducing in savings on electricity) and protects the land from erosion. As a result, these township properties in PCMC have a much longer lifespan.
Does it come as a surprise that Pune property buyers are increasingly favoring residential township properties over options in the central city? This phenomenon is not restricted to Pune real estate alone. All over the world, there is a rapidly increasing exodus of people congested city centres to better-planned, greener and more peaceful outskirts. People are tired of the deteriorating living conditions in the city, which also give rise to grave risks to health, damage the environment and reduce the investment value of properties.
Maybe it’s time that you offered your family the advantage of healthier, greener home surroundings, too?
