NN Railway Colony
Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh

Located on the banks of the Ganges River, Kanpur is the biggest metropolitan city of Uttar Pradesh and a centre of commercial, industrial and educational activities. The huge gap between demand and supply for housing in the densely populated areas of Kanpur city led to the Rail Land Development Authority to propose an integrated township in Nirala Nagar. Collage Design has been appointed for Urban Designing and Master Planning for this mixed use development. Located close to the airport and a railway station, this sustainable and self-sufficient township seeks to accommodate around 2648 housing units. 

The integrated development will provide all the required infrastructure and services to create an active urban space. Besides affordable residential facilities, the plan includes retail spaces, restaurants, educational institutes and entertainment areas within an urban setting improved with unified landscaping and streetscapes. The concept is to create a quality place to live, work, learn and play while maintaining the unique identity of the township.
