The project was awarded by Gujarat Housing Board, and will see Surbana Jurong extending its affordable housing expertise beyond Singapore.
The project incorporates some of Singapore's best practices in public housing to make Gujarat's public housing more vibrant, sustainable and liveable," Surbana Jurong said in a media statement. Surbana Jurong said its township design for the Gujarat project will foster social interactions by featuring community-centric spaces such as roof gardens, activity courtyards, playgrounds and outdoor fitness stations. These facilities will be located within safe and vehicular-free community spaces.
Lochan Sehra, commissioner of Gujarat Housing Board, said:"We are inspired by Singapore's public housing model. Many of the features are new to Gujarat and will potentially set a precedent for future affordable housing in India."
