1 INTRODUCTION
Cities are the consequence of the intrinsic nature of human beings ever since they settled along the
river banks. Urban areas have expanded through population growth and migration which brings
along an increasing rate of urbanization. Despite that people boast the prosperity of a civilization,
rapid growth of population and industrial activities are outpacing the city’s capacity. Cities provide
industries with abundant resources such as infrastructure, skilled labour, access to capital, and
markets and thus industrial activities tend to concentrate in the city. However, as the city develops,
many traditional industries (e.g the labour-intensive industries) cannot afford to stay in urban areas
because of the increasing cost of rent, infrastructure and labour.Therefore, they tend to move to
the city outskirts to seek cheaper resources; and in a way, affecting people’s residential patterns.
Thus this shift heavily contributes to urban sprawl. As a result, the previously developed industrial
land in the urban area is left abandoned or underutilized for years. These areas are known as
‘brownfield’ sites and are generally considered problematic for cities.one reason is that these areas
could be contaminated due to past industrial activities posing a risk to the surrounding
neighbourhoods.Moreover ,given that urban sprawl has been identified as a major urban problem,
the redevelopment of brownfield sites could provide an alternative for restraining the city’s spatial
expansion by accommodating urban development activities which otherwise would occur in
Greenfields.
Cities and urban areas present not only opportunities but also challenges and account
should be taken of the specific problems facing urban areas, such as unemployment, social
exclusion, high and rising crime rates, increased congestion and the existence of pockets of
deprivation within city boundaries. Historically the growth of cities in India has been driven by
increasing urban populations. In this context, it is important to dedicate resources to rehabilitate
the physical environment, revitalize brownfield sites, and preserve and develop the historical and
cultural heritage of depressed sites and areas. This has potential positive spin-offs for retail,
commercial and tourism interests, creating more attractive cities where people want to work, live
and play.
The regeneration of existing public spaces and industrial sites plays an important role in
avoiding suburbanization and urban sprawl, thereby helping to create the conditions necessary for
sustainable economic development. More generally, by improving the planning, design and
maintenance of public spaces, cities can “plan out” crime, helping to create attractive streets, parks
and open spaces which are safe and, importantly, feel safe. In urban areas, the environmental,
economic and social dimensions are strongly interlinked and brownfield redeveloped can provide
the social and economic needs of society, while protecting environmental resources and values for
the future.
In this regard, brownfield redevelopment is seen as a sustainable land use strategy which has gained
support among the land use planners. Given that brownfields are considered a lucrative ,but largely
untapped land resources ,the redevelopment of brownfields is now realized as a potential ‘win-win’
situation for the majority of the countries in the world and local governments around the world has
an interest in the near and long –term use of a currently overlooked asset.
1.1 What is Brownfield Redevelopment?

Brownfield's are the sites that were previously used for industrial activities or some other activity
which contaminates the sites. Although the term brownfield is nowadays widely used, it does not
have a single widely recognized definition. Its meaning varies and is mostly formulated at the level
of individual countries. However, this is a relatively new concept, and its dominant use over the past
two decades in the US and Europe, has still not resulted in the definition of a precise meaning.
The term brownfield was used for the first time in the United States, in 1992. The most commonly
cited brownfield definition comes from the Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 1997:
"Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-utilized industrial and commercial facilities where
expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination”.
This definition was complemented and partly modified in 2002 . In some countries, other terms are
used for brownfield. From a practical point of view, several brownfield classifications have been
developed (Rafson, 1999, Everett, 2002). In the European context, there are many definitions and
interpretations and the most widespread definition is the one proposed by the work group called
CLARINET (Contaminated Land Rehabilitation Network for Environmental Technologies):
"brownfields are sites that have been affected by the former uses of the site and surrounding land,
are derelict and underused, may have real or perceived contamination problems, are mainly
developed in urban areas, and require intervention to bring them back to beneficial use"
Brownfield redevelopment typically involves contaminated, often abandoned
urban and industrial properties, which are reclaimed, remediated, and redeveloped into new
businesses, residential areas and parks or other open spaces.
1.2 Background of the study

Most town and communities have historically enjoyed prosperity as a result of industrial activities in
inner urban areas. In 1990’s massive structural changes in the economies of all major industrial
countries occurred. Industrial sites have been abandoned and consequently thousands of jobs have
been lost. These abandoned sites are mostly situated in central urban locations and have therefore
had good access to public transport. Due to the typical location of historic industrial activities
adjacent to high density urban areas, brownfields are often located within active and renewing
areas of cities. Governments internationally recognized the benefits of innovative Brownfield
redevelopment strategies for addressing environmental and public health protection while
contributing to economic development and community revitalization.

1.3 Impacts of Brownfields

Brownfields can have significant negative environmental, economic and social impacts on a
community.
a. Social impacts:
 Brownfield’s located within dense urban communities often have long term economic
effects of neighborhood
 Attracts vandals, open dumping and other illegal activity that can lead to “urban blight”.
 Abandoned buildings and overgrown lots can pose safety threats ti surrounding
community due to illegal and dangerous activities.
b. Economic impacts:
Brownfield’s are drain on local economy, because it-
 Lowers surrounding property values, contributing to neighborhood deterioration and
negatively impact the quality of life in a community,
 Puts strain on public resources such as police, fire, building and health dept. because of
nuisance, hazards &criminal activities on vacant lands.
 Reduces local employment opportunities and tax revenues
 Contributes to urban sprawl
c. Environmental impacts
 Brownfields contamination can pollute soil,air,and water resources both on and offsite.
 Exposure to such pollution from contaminated sites can have serious negative effects on
health of nearby residents.

1.4 Benefits of brownfield redevelopment

Brownfields represent an environmental, economic and social concern for any community.
1.5 Factors affecting brownfield redevelopment

Developing brownfield site is a complex issue. In addition to the above mentioned economic,
environmental and social dimensions of brownfield problems, it also has wide range of
technical and legal issues.
A. Site preparation: cleaning up the site, environmental assessment of the site and making it
ready for future use.
B. Economic viability: lack of finances to clean up and re-built the site.
C. Legal framework: lack of regulations and policies for public interest to develop the site.
D. Future use: dilemma over potential development of the site.

1.6 NEED AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY

Hyderabad metropolitan development authority (HMDA) has identified the urban blighted
areas in its master plan for renewal. Redevelopment of Brownfield sites plays an important role
in community benefitting, like:
 Decelerates the urban sprawl
 Increases tax base
 Public health improvement
 Employment opportunities
 Removal of blighted areas
so there is need and opportunity to upgrade such sites in the city for wider community and
economic benefits.

3. LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 GLOBAL SCENARIO: BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT
Introduction to world scenario:
During the 1970s and 1980s, a number of serious site contamination cases brought the issue to
the attention of the public and lawmakers in a handful of countries, such as the United States,
Japan and the Netherlands. However, an effort began in 2009 to compile a global inventory of
contaminated sites, with an emphasis on developing countries (Blacksmith Institute 2012a), to
help overcome the lack of public awareness of the issue. There are also other possible
explanations for the failure to address site contamination in some countries:
 a lack of recognition of soil as a vital natural element and resource for human survival and
development;
 the fact that site contamination often occurs on privately owned land, out of the public eye
and beyond the reach of regulations;
 the absence of reliable, detailed information on the scale and severity of potentially
contaminated sites;
 the lack of scientific knowledge regarding the processes and effects of site contamination;
 And the complex nature and political sensitivity of the issue.
Remediation of Site Contamination—Common Approaches

• Remediation of a contaminated site essentially involves the removal of the risk of
contaminants at a particular site from causing harm to humans or the environment. It does not
necessarily involve removing the contaminants themselves, although that was a common
practice from the 1970s to the 1990s and is still done today. The aim of remediation is usually
to restore the relevant site to a standard at which the current or proposed site use may
proceed with minimal risk to humans and the environment.
• Generally, options for site remediation include the excavation and removal of
contaminated materials for off-site landfill or treatment; treating the contaminated material
on-site to remove or neutralize the contaminants; and securing or containing the contaminants
to prevent further migration .If a variety of contaminants are present at a site, it may be
necessary to use a combination of two or more remediation methods. Until recently, the
excavation and removal (or ‘dig and dump’) approach was favored in the majority of
remediation decisions in developed countries, and it continues to be widely used. In some
countries (e.g., the Netherlands), this was because sites had to be restored to a high standard
so as to be suitable for any use. Remediation to a high standard is no longer required in most
cases, with the lower standard of ‘fitness for current or proposed use’ being applied in many
developed countries.

Categories of Site Contamination Law
A. Countries with Extensive, Specific Provisions on Site Contamination

Where all or most of the features identified in above are exhibited in the legislation, it is
categorized herein as ‘extensive’ specific legislation. This category covers countries having
specific legislation which is comprehensive and encompasses most of the necessary features of
site contamination law (e.g. the United States, United Kingdom and Germany). Importantly,
although the label ‘extensive’ is used, the relevant legislation may still omit one or two
significant aspects of site contamination management. Extensive specific provisions may
comprise either ‘standalone’ legislation or amendments to existing law, such as general
environmental protection legislation, accompanied by a parliamentary intention to address site
contamination.
B. Countries with Limited, Specific Provisions on Site Contamination

Where only some of the necessary features are displayed—usually in amendments to general
environmental protection law—the legislation is considered ‘limited’ specific legislation. Where
there are no specific provisions of either kind, a country is deemed to have no specific
legislation on site contamination. Some countries have enacted specific provisions on site
contamination which fall short of ‘extensive’ provisions, because they address only some
aspects of site contamination management. For example, legislation may introduce liability for
site remediation but may not specify any site management procedures for identification or
assessment. Limited specific provisions on contaminated sites are commonly added to a general
environmental protection law. The use of limited provisions within general environmental
legislation may hamper the comprehensive, effective management of site contamination if the
legislation is outdated. This is particularly likely in countries which are not highly urbanized or
industrialized, or where site contamination is not perceived to be a major problem. New
Zealand, Sweden and Finland are examples of this category, as are Singapore and Hong Kong.
Several countries, particularly in Southern Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia, have legislation
which ostensibly deals with aspects of site.
C. Countries with No Provisions on Site Contamination

This category includes countries which appear to have no provisions that specifically refer to
site contamination. They may, or may not, rely on powers in general environment protection
legislation—such as administrative orders and permit conditions under waste law or pollution
law—to address contamination on an ad hoc basis. The absence of site contamination
legislation may suggest that the issue is being ignored, particularly in countries with a highly
urbanized population or a heavily industrialized history. Developing countries like India, Taiwan
etc. falls under this category.

As proper management of brownfields is both a new and important issue, this study included
learning’s from the past experiences of other countries. This study presents an overview of
approach, policy and regulations, local government’s interventions on contaminated site
management in different regions: North America (the United States, Canada), Asia (Taiwan) and
European Union.
A. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

INITIATION: Early 1970s -following catastrophic and high-profile environmental incident-”Love
Canal". Till date 45000 potential sites identified by USEPA.
LAWS &POLICIES: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA, 1980) Also called as “SUPERFUND ACT”- based on “POLLUTER PAYS PRINCIPLE”.
In 1990, Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (Brownfield Act) was
introduced to Exempts PRPs disposing of <110 gallons of liquids or <200 pounds of solids and
small businesses that disposed of only MSW from liability for NPL cleanup; Act also provides
funds for site assessment, cleanup.
APPROACH:
In the initial stages of the Superfund, contaminant removal and permanent cleanup were the
main objectives. Later it followed ‘risk-based approach’ under which, the risk is managed either
by, setting restrictions on land use, or cleaning up the contaminations to an acceptable risk
level.
GOVT. ROLE: Set up remediation standards and rules on liability. Government does not
intervene in land redevelopment processes unless the developer violates certain rules.
B. CANADA
INITIATION: In 1989, National Contaminated Sites Remediation Program (NCSRP) was initiated
by Canadian govt.Canadian cities, unlike US cities, have not suffered greatly from general
decline or suburban blight.rather,residential living in the center of cities remains in high
demand, and new construction of residential units has taken place on many former
industrialized sites.at the same time, Canadians place high value on the outdoors and therefore
maintain strong restrictions on greenfield developments.
LAWS &POLICIES: Canadian laws are similar to “SUPERFUND ACT”- based on “POLLUTER PAYS
PRINCIPLE”. Relevant legislation and administrative policies at the federal level include the 1998
“Canadian Environmental Protection Act”, the 1996 “Guidance Manual for Developing Site-
specific Soil Quality Remediation Objectives for Contaminated Sites in Canada”, and the 1997
“Recommended Canadian Soil Quality Guidelines”.

APPROACH:
Approach to redevelopment is site specific .there are no national level guidelines for all the
province/states in the country. Each province has its own set of rules and regulations. Some
regions have recently based their clean-up approach on the Risk-Based Corrective Action
(RBCA) model used in the US.
GOVT. ROLE: Set up remediation standards and rules on liability. Government at all levels
shares responsibility for ensuring the work is effectively carried out providing technical
assistance as required.
C. EUROPEAN UNION
INITIATION: In the early 80’s EU countries were alerted over increase in site contamination all
over the Europe. Over the past few years, E.U. governments viewed the evolution of brownfield
policies in the United States as potential guides to their own actions.
LAWS &POLICIES: The European Union does not yet have a general brownfield policy, although
it recently promulgated a soil policy. As a first step towards a more comprehensive EU policy-
making strategy regarding contaminated sites, a White Paper on Environmental Liability was
prepared to help harmonize the environmental legislation of member states (European
Commission, 1997). The White Paper, however, deals with future contamination, whereas past
contaminations are still covered under individual state policies.
APPROACH: Throughout Europe Local governments takes the lead in identifying the
contaminated sites and prioritize sites based upon threats to human health and
environemnt.Each country has its own set of rules and regulations. Some regions have recently
based their clean-up approach on the Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) model used in the
US.
GOVT. ROLE:
Govts. takes the responsibility for mitigation and prevention despite ‘polluter pays ‘doctrine
assuring needed cleanups of past contamination.
CONCLUSION:
In sum, there is a genuine and urgent need for guidance on a comprehensive approach to
domestic management of site contamination. The need exists not only in developed countries
seeking to improve fragmented and inadequate laws, but increasingly also in developing
countries and economies in transition which are encountering site contamination problems for
the first time. The latter face two choices: either to try to forge their own approach to site
contamination, at the risk of repeating mistakes already made by others, or to look for external
guidance. In the absence of any international agreements or influential guidelines, countries are
likely to emulate approaches taken in other countries, such as the Netherlands (see, e.g.,
Netherlands Soil Partnership 2012) or the United States (United States Environmental

Protection Agency ). The main disadvantage of this practice is that one country’s regulatory
model may be ill-suited to the domestic conditions of another, particularly if it is adopted
without any prior changes.
3.2 BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT IN INDIA:

India as such there are no specific brownfield policies ,acts or reguations.Recently ,Indian
government started looking at contaminated site and has been working to bring out a national
policy for polluted site in the country. In India, the protection and improvement of the
Environment is a prime responsible of the state. The Indian government promulgated The
Environment (Protection) Act in1986, which is umbrella legislation to protect and improve the
environment and to regulate the management and handling of hazardous substances and
chemicals (EPA, 1986). The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) continuously monitors
the progress made by various state governments and union territories with respect the
implementation of India’s Hazardous Wastes Rules. Hazardous Waste management is presently
regulated by the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling ) Rules of 1989 (January 2000
amendment and 2008 amendment), Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals
Rules of 1989, Rules for the Manufacture, Use, Import, Export and Storage of Hazardous
Chemicals and Genetically Engineered Organisms or Cells, 1989. Additionally, the Forest
(Conservation) Act of 1918, The Indian Forest act of 1927, The Factories Act of 1950, the Indian
Penal Code of 1960 and The Public Liability Act 1991 are to be followed applicable.
As per MoEF, sites with confirmed presence of contaminants or substances caused
by humans at concentrations that either pose a significant risk and/or impact to human health
or the environmental with regard to present or future land use plan is considered a
Contaminated Site. The main criteria are that the contaminants shall be defined as per the
Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Trans boundary Movement) Rules, 2008, and
the site screening levels should be mentioned for contaminant land assessment (MoEF, 2011).
A Probable Contaminated Site is defined as Sites with alleged (apparent, purported) but not
scientifically proven presence of constituents of contaminants or substances caused by humans
at concentration and characteristics which can either pose a significant risk to human health or
the environment with regard to present or future land use plan or exceeding specific
concentrations or standards prescribed for human health and/or the environment.
The National Program for Rehabilitation of Polluted Sites was formulated for the scaling up
Followed by the cleanup and rehabilitation of polluted sites and facilitates the reduction of
environmental and health risks associated with the legacy of polluted sites as described in the
next section. The MoEF upholds the remediation of polluted derelict sites (Legacy Polluted
Sites) as national missions of the 12th Five-Year Plan (April 2012 to March 2017). In the plan,

regarding the cleanup of polluted derelict land related to this study, 10 sites are the current
subjects for cleanup with the assistance of the World Bank.
These sites are confirmed as acknowledged sites of pollution by the government. In relation to
the pollution remediation, the Indian government states that it will pursue proprietors in line
with the Polluter-Pays Principle (PPP). Since then, states (local governments) have conducted
cleanup of lands on which no proprietors exist (orphaned sites). Thus, it is likely that, in
actuality, a massive number of polluted sites exist in which serious environmental damage has
occured including sites, where proprietors currently exist. Accordingly, it is clear that the
country has a great need for groundwater remediation. However, in order to achieve the
project, project formulation based on the approval of the central government is essential, and
to establish readiness of the central Government to receive assistance, through appealing the
significance of the issues with the cooperation of the local government, is needed.
In the Indian government, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) is a liaison
for the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) on project formulations of human-induced
pollution caused by the operations of factories. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and
each state's Pollution Control Board (State PCB) belongs to the Ministry of Environment and
Forestry as the lower branches. In cleanup projects controlled by the government, once
pollution is detected, the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI)
investigates, manages and evaluates of the issue, while the National Geophysical Research
Institute (NGRI) implements geological and groundwater studies, under the control of the
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
The ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) has come up with Options and standards for
Remediation of polluted sites under Development of Methodologies for National Programme
for Rehabilitation of Polluted Sites in India, which will be discussed in later stages of this report.

3.3 SPECIAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN (SADP)

Special area development areas are identified under revised master plan of erstwhile Municipal
Corporation of Hyderabad area (HMDA core area) and earmarked in the city of Hyderabad
within GHMC boundary. Special projects have been identified to translate the strategy of
revised master plan into realistic development.
SADP’S have been earmarked basing on the criteria:
 Areas in which the city needs renewal programmes.
 Parcels which are under urban decay conditions
 Predominantly of industrial parcels along with commercial parcels which have been
successfully rendering their services from their respective time of origination and which
are under urban decay
 As the earmarked areas are in the heart of the city it needs a sophisticated
infrastructure and could be utilized for future development catering city level and local
level requirement so that they can serve as future CBD hubs.
Salient features of SADP:

Specific areas have been identified as special area development projectat various locations
spread across the city.
 Detailed planning and urban renewal of such areas are to be prepared separately.
 It includes specific urban design,heritage &environment guidelines for infrastructure up-
gradation and overall area development.
 Till the SADP’s are prepared and finalized the landuses proposed in the master plan shall
be applicable.
So such an area from SADP’s could be identified for the redevelopment.
Identified areas under SADP’s in master plan -2031

Special projects have been identified to translate the stretagy of revised master plan into
realistic development.10 such locations have been identified under this master plan.
1) Secunderabad railway station and surrounding areas
2) Nampally railway station and surrounding areas
3) Malakpet railway station and surrounding areas
4) Kachiguda railway station and surrounding areas
5) Falaknuma railway station and surrounding areas
6) Azamabad industrial estate and surrounding areas
7) Govt land near secretariat-lower tank bund
8) Mehditpatnam bus terminus and surrounding areas
9) Mint compound and surrounding land
10) Musi river and abutting lands(100mts on either side)

4 DESKTOP STUDIES
4.1 DESKTOP STUDY-1: ATLANTIC STATION, ATLANTA-GEORGIA, USA
HISTORY
Construction of the Atlantic Steel Mill began in 1901. It produced steel from the
1920s to the 1980s. For the first fifty years, it met the steel needs of the South,
such as nails, barbed wire, plough shears and galvanized steel. At the height of its
production in the 1950s, the facility employed more than 2300 people and
produced approximately 750,000 tons of steel annually. Due to both domestic
and foreign competition, some of its operations were closed in the 1980s and
employment dropped to 400 people in 1997. The Atlantic Steel Mill completely
closed in 1998.
TIMELINE
1901 Atlantic Steel Company (ASC) was founded
1974 ASC employed 2000 people and produced 750,000 tons of steel annually
1979 ASC is acquired by Ivaco Inc.
1997 Atlantic Steel property is contracted to Jacoby Development Inc (JDI)
1998 Atlantic Steel Mill closes ;site remediation started
1999 JDI closes on Atlantic Steel property and forms partnership with AIG Global Real Estate
Investment Corporation FOR REDEVELOPING THE SITE.
2005 Atlantic Station redevelopment officially opens

REASONS FOR ITS REDEVELOPMENT
Over time, the Heavy Industrial zoning designation of the Atlantic Steel property became
incompatible with the residential character of the surrounding neighborhoods. Three
conditions guaranteed that the property would eventually be redeveloped:
1) Its size
2) Its locational assets and
3) The rapid population growth in metropolitan Atlanta.
SITE CONTAMINANTS AND REMEDIATION

• 1,80,000 cubic yards of soil contaminated by steel slag (polychlorinated biphenyls –
PCB’s) was treated at (ex-situ) state approved land fill site by chemical oxidation
technology.
• A groundwater collection and treatment system was also constructed in order to
prevent the migration of contaminants to other nearby areas.
• Under “POLLUTERS PAY PRINCIPLE” of CERCLA policy framework –the site was finally
remediated by JDI .
GOVERNMENT’S ROLE:
In anticipation of its redevelopment, this site was subsequently rezoned as ‘Commercial and
Mixed Use’ by the City council in 1998.
PROJECT VISION :
Atlantic Station is renowned for its “live-work-play environment,” based on a mixed-use New
Urbanism and transit-oriented model of development. “Smart Growth” principles were
incorporated
• Effectively reduced Greenfield development while promoting compact, mixed-use,
multi-modal growth.
• Accordingly, Atlantic Station protected over 1,000 acres of Greenfield from being
developed.(California Energy Commission: Smart Growth Development )
• Atlantic Station was developed into 3 areas – the District, Commons, and Village.

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT:
LESSONS LEARNED:
By redeveloping the old Atlantic Steel property, the new Atlantic Station remediated a
Brownfield, reduced the long term growth in the number of miles vehicles travel, decreased air
emissions and saved open space.
4.2 DESKTOP STUDY-2 : BINGHAM JUNCTION,MIDVALE CITY-UTAH,USA
HISTORY :
Smelting activities occurred at the Bingham Junction
site from 1871 – 1958. Sharon Steel, a steel mill
directly south of Midvale Slag, used to supply the
materials such as lead and copper for the smelting
activities that took place in the smelter. In the middle
years of its operation, lawsuits were being filed
against Midvale Slag due to the fumes that the plant
was producing. The plant closed in 1958. From 1959 –
1986, the South Valley Water Reclamation District
operated a waste water treatment plant at the
property. The property was placed on the NPL from
1991 – 2006 due to the detection of high amounts of
lead, arsenic and heavy metals.

REASONS FOR ITS REDEVELOPMENT
SITE CONTAMINANTS AND REMEDIATION

Originally OU1 doesn’t directly had any sort of
serious contaminants. The contaminants in OU2-
were transferred from Sharon steel smelting
through-wind transfer, surface water transport of
slag dust and fallout of smelter fumes on OU2. 18”
depth contaminated soil was removed and treated
off site by chemical oxidation method and refilled
with around 2 feet clear fill. Water contamination
was so high that it would take 300years to restore
it, so the govt put up restriction on ground water
usage and is monitoring its movement from time to
time.
GOVERNMENT’S ROLE:
 Provided bonafide prospective purchaser
(BFPP) liability protection for its future site
owners.
 Institutional control
 Updating and managing local land use
ordinances .
 Jordon river bank stabilization.
 Funded offsite infrastructure development-
in turn
 reduced site development cost.

PROJECT VISION :
A vibrant, walk able places built for people with strategy for redeveloping the site into a mixed-
use commercial, residential, and recreation area. Developed in 6 subareas-Each having
residential, commercial and mixed use zones.
• “Development supports transit……transit supports development”
• TOD used as sales tool for
residential developers.
BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT:
LESSONS LEARNED:
Established “redevelopment areas” to
allow the use of “tax increment
financing” to offset higher costs of
infrastructure construction(innovating
project financing option).Outcomes
improve if all levels of government and all
interested parties work together. Difficult, complex problems require creative solutions.

5 CASE STUDY: AZAMABAD INDUSTRIAL AREA.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
Azamabad industrial area is located in the center of city(RTC ‘X’ ROADS) and has an area of 70.8
hectare. Azamabad is the second industrial zones planned for manufacturing in 1929.It was
built during the time of the Nizam’s in the year 1930. Azamabad is home to many old
companies. VST/Rahmania factory /meera and biological lab Industries are some of the few
industries which have more than 50 years of operational history in the estate. The industrial
estate is located in one of the busiest area if the Hyderabad which home to many commercial
establishments and institutions.
In the beginning of 1980-90s, about 50 enterprises were located in this area and the
highest employment rate reached more than 4000 people. Azamabad has functioned many
years as one of the industrial bases for the economic growth of Hyderabad city. With the recent
urbanization, this area which was regarded as urban fringe has now become the fringe of city
Centre. Many enterprises transferred to other industrial estates in the city as government
wanted this area to be free of industries and want to make use of this area as commercial
precinct. However, this transfer was not as successful as in the case of some establishments
due to the innate deficiencies such as location and market potential among others. In 2011,
HMDA in its master plan 2031proposed to redevelop the site into multi use zone giving it a
special area development plan(SADP)status. Given the complexity of the industrial estate i.e
many plots are under litigation and are governed under The Azamabad Industrial Area
(Termination and Regulation of Leases) Act, 2000, preparation of the redevelopment
encountered enormous difficulties and the planning process stopped completely. However, the
present government is in talks with the lease holder to develop the industrial area given the
free hold right to the present lessees.
5.2 LOCATION:
Azamabad industrial area comes under
central zone -circle 9 of GHMC (erstwhile
circle 3).The whole industrial area falls
under SADP -Hyderabad master plan -
2031. The study area(SADP) falls under
wards number 88,89 and 90 –
baghlingampally,adikmet and ram nagar
respectively.

5.3 LINKAGE /CONNECTIVITY
The study area is easily accessible from

rest of the city as it is located in the center
of the Hyderabad city. Azamabad
industrial area is located at RTC ‘X’ roads
and is easily approachable from
musheerabad, vidya nagar, lower tank
bund and baghlingampally.the study is
well connected through bus service
(musheerabad bus stop) and MMTS
service (vidya nagar).the connectivity to
other areas is also going to be strengthen
once the metro station is completed at
RTC’x’ roads.

5.4 DEMOGRAPHY:

5.5 LAND USE:

EXISTING LANDUSE:
industrial (52%) type of land use is observed in the study area with total residential land use
accounting for 11 % followed by public and semipublic and commercial 22 and 5 respectively.
There is a fair amount of public and semipublic land use along with defense lands which
accounts for 3.68 and 9.38 % respectively. Open spaces /recreation land use is close to 1%
which is much lower than required.

LAND USE COMPARISION:
INFERENCE:
Since the study area falls under different jurisdictions of wards, the land use standards of
URDPFI cannot be justified. However the study area needs a compatible land use for its
development which will be explored in the later stages of the project.

5.6 AZAMABAD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
MAP SHOWING LAND PARCELS
Map 1-1 LAND PARCELS

LANDPARCEL STATEMENT:
Table1.1 LAND PARCELS
Majority (72%) of the land falls under industrial estate which are leased out(99-years) .The
private lands on the 100’ wide abutting road (chikkadpally road) are under construction and
many are newly constructed and the ones at the tail of the study area are developed with
residential apartments. Musheerabad bus depot is functional @ TSRTC land.
5.7 INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
TABLE SHOWING INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION BY PCB.
More than 70% of the industries classified by the pollution board comes under red category.
While orange and green accounts for 15% each. Looking the number is possible to say that the
industrial area might have possible polluted areas which will the task to examine for
redevelopment.

INDUSTRIAL TYPE BY RAW MATERIAL/PRODUCTS
INFERENCE:
As per the pollution control board of Telangana, there are no contamination
identified/perceived in the recent times. Though the classification of industries which is based
on the degree of pollutants released by the industry cannot be undermined.
5.8 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA ANLAYSIS
The environmental, economic, social and

experiential factors affecting the Study
area has been put forward through primary
survey, as these indicators drive the
redevelopment project workability into
more holistic way.
For this purpose, the ward no: 88, 89, 90

under which the study falls, has been
chosen for the primary survey. 0.2% (i.e. 52
HH) of the total Household population
(25740) is used for sampling.
The surveyed area has lower class(slums) to higher middle class society in different pockets of
the area.so to counter balance the sampling ,specific areas mentioned below were chosen.

Adikmet ,Baglingampally,Chikkadpally,Vidya nagar,Ramnagar ,Achaiah nagar,Jamini colony,

zamistapur, Nagamayya kunta and risla qurshid tahi (both slums) were among the sampling
areas.
ECONOMICAL FACTORS:
Looking at the economic aspects like income, transportation options, employment, and the goal is
to assess how the neighborhood performs and what areas can be targeted for development.
1 INCOME STATUS:
• There is considerable balance in the income
levels (like it is not dominated by one
income group-which is healthy sign of
development for any community)
• It is also evident that the purchasing
capacity /investment of any individual is in
between Average to above average.(in Income status
terms of their daily needs.

2. EMPLOYMENT LEVEL:
• The employed to unemployed ratio
51:49.
• Self-employment seem to be 50% .
3. WORKPLACE DESTINATION,DISTANCE
AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS:
 Many residents work within 2km
Employment level
range of their homes/
 More than 50% people use 2-wheelers to commute the distance. Rest depends
on public and intermediate transport.
 People going towards gachibowli and Secunderabad use MMTS extensively.

SOCIAL FACTORS:
1 EDUCATION:
• Most of the resident around the study are
educated, the level of education institutions
could be the reason.
• More than 30% of the sampled population are
students.
2 HOUSE OWNERSHIP DETIALS:

Education level
 Rented HH are 62% ,and they generally stay
for 2-3 years .the reason being since its close to institutional facilities .
Home ownership details Water supply
3 WATER SUPPLY:
• Almost every house has tap connection ,except in slums where community taps are in
use.
• Water infrastructure is good and supply is every alternate day.
4 PROXIMITY TO AMENITIES:
• There good number of health facilities in the vicinity .
• Around 3 hospitals,6 clinics and many medical shop are present within3km distance
• Right from primary school to degree college, there are around 50 institution
surrounding the area.
• Sudaraiyya park in APHB colony is the only big park in the wards .Rest are small
community spaces.
• Ramnagar fish & vegetable market ,nallakunta weekly market are the only source of
market sin the area

• The area is bustling with theaters around and there are 8 theaters are within vicinity.
• There are kirana general stores located at every 300m distance and super stores alike
reliance fresh, heritage fresh, more and well within 2km range.
• Footware and general home needs are well within reach.
• Police station (chikadpally ) is just opp. to study area. Library ,fire services are within
4km radius
5 ASESSTS OF THE AREA:

Transportation and social projects are the Potential for the area. Other negative points,
however, can also be found. The lack of green cover is one of the main problems.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
1 FLOOD PRONE ZONE:
The colonies along the nala are regularly affected by
floods.(especially nagamayya kunta and ram nagar low
lying areas.)
2 GROUND WATER QUALITY GONE DOWN?
Flood prone area
• The ground water quality in many of the area is
good and is being utilized extensively in apartments.
• The areas close to oil refineries had some yellowish water 5 years back.
Water quality Area polluted?
3 Is your area polluted:

• More than 80% of the respondents said
yes.
• The pollution is visible in air and smell
very pungent .
• VST and biological e ltd are the main
contributors to pollution along the
sides of traffic pollution
•
AIR QUALITY STATUS AT CHIKKADPALLY-PS
The ambient air quality at chikkadpally is decreasing

from the past 5 years.the total suspended particulate
matter is more than the standard value of 140 which
increases the smoke/ pollution in the area.
SOURCE:TS PCB,

5.9 ISSUES AND INFERENCE:

ISSUES:
 Existing industrial land use is incompatible with the surrounding residential land use
making it necessary to change in the existing land use with more suitable one.
 Presence of heavy polluting and hazardous industries as per PCB ratings.
 Decrease in environmental quality and increase of human health risk as industrial waste
is dumped adjacent to industries creating pollution.
 Blighted conditions of site due to existence of sick, closed ,depilated industries and
buildings.
 Lack of green spaces.
 High crime rate because of isolated places.
 Non-availability of fire station nearby.
INFERENCE:
 The study area is in need of immediate site investigation and redevelopment as the
pollution around the area is on increasing side .
 The study area requires through soil and underground water contamination
investigations as the site is home to many polluting industries.
 New metro station at “RTC ‘x’ roads “ will boost the projects viability.
 The area falls into TOD influence zone and has ample potential to grow into one of the
best localities in Hyderabad due to its strategic location and public transport options.
 As per the analysis the Azamabad industrial area can be development with mixed land
use including parks and open spaces, office Space,instituional and commercial
development and might have nonpolluting small scale industries.

5.10 SWOT ANLAYSIS:
6 PROPOSAL AND RECOMMANDATIONS:

• Strategy /policy level proposal i.e. change of predominant land use into mixed land use
which would be in favor of TOD.
• The redevelopment plan would be part of transit oriented development (influence
zone).
• Improving environmental quality by removing hazardous industries in place.
• Increase the value of the locality
POLICY GUIDELINES:
The redevelopment guidelines will majorly focus on:
• Creation of better land use with phase -wise development

• Mixed use development with IT/ITES,offices ,residential etc thereby creating diverse
employment .
• Incentives for the people for redvelopment by change in ownership like lease lands abe
converteed to freehold.
• Development of green spaces, open spaces,parks etc to improve the environmental
quality
DEVELOPMENT FRAME WORK:

Prohibit Land uses which: ƒ
• Do not generate high ridership ƒ
• Generate high amounts of private vehicle traffic ƒ
• Create Pedestrian “unfriendly” environment.
The following Uses are prohibited within 300m of MRTS catchments, including Metro lands:
Car-sales showrooms,Banquet halls ,Large foot-print “star-hotels” ,Large single commodity
showrooms ,High-end Malls ,Automobile-repair shops,Warehouses,Large format religious
facilities
Mixed Land uses are desirable which : ƒ

• Generate high public transport ridership and promote walkability. ƒ Encourage multi-
purpose trips
• Mixed convenient / community shopping uses with residential uses ƒ Shift all short trips
from private vehicle to walking, cycle-rickshaw or public transport.

INCENTIVES FOR PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
PROPOSED LANDUSE BREAKUPS:
LANDUSE IMPLEMENTATION:
• The development shall be done using plot reconstitution techniques followed by
amortization process.
• To achieve gradual change from existing land use to proposed land use ,phase wise
development has to be done.
• The phase wise development will give industries time to vacate /rehabilitate to different
area.

SCOPE FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND DETAILING:
In order to increase the effectiveness of brownfield redevelopment following measures have to

be incorporated in the final plan that will be grounded:
• Effective site contaminants investigation.

• Level of risk for remediation of site
• Availble methods to reduce the site contamination
• Micro level planning of site
• Resources conservation must be done
• Effective solid waste management and establishment of wtp and stp’s within the study
area.
