The issue at hand is to provide:

1.well connected
2.low-cost
3.mass housing
4.matching growing aspirations
for the large service sector population.
This should also have the capacity to grow incrementally as these new
settlements grow in popularity.
Thus, for site selection, connectivity to public transport networks becomes a
critical factor.
The Solution:

The solution is multi-pronged-

A. Site- Well connected, adequately sized to upscale

B. Execution/Technology- Precast concrete modules/wet pods serving as structural elements

But most critically,

C. Design- a modular, but non-repetitive scheme, with a mix of 1 Room Kitchen (RK) and 1
Bedroom Kitchen (BHK), which can be combined to form permutations suiting the fluid
requirements of users, with a minimum area of 300sq.ft as mandated.

Community spaces like a ration shop, crèche, a gym, a gathering space that have been built into
the design to foster a sense of community.
