The vision for the new Eco-Park at New Town embraces a holistic and systematic approach to sustainability that seeks to create a balance between ecological regeneration, resource conservation, and optimization with the need to create a recreational urban open space.
This approach offers an additional benefit as compared to traditional models for developing parks and urban open spaces – the chance to create a “living classroom” about nature’s service. People can come here to relax or rejuvenate, socialize or seek solitude, and learn first-hand how the region's flora and fauna benefit their city, as the wetlands filter water and the plants filter air. It provides a perfect work-life balance.
New Town Kolkata is a rapidly developing planned city on the eastern fringes of Kolkata. The master plan for the New Town provides for a large number of open spaces and parks across the city, ranging from small neighborhood parks to large city and regional level green spaces.
The master plan for the Eco-Park was commissioned by the West Bengal Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBHIDCO) has been prepared by Bengal Urban Infrastructure Development Limited (BUIDL) and Pradeep Sachdeva Design Associates (PSDA), an architecture and urban design studio.
All of the tourist attractions of Eco Park are well supervised from the Eco Park Office. It has a control room with a well displayed CCTVs in Eco Park, along with a central public address system and an accounts office.
