Yogi Adityanath Launches Push for Statewide Urban Redevelopment Policy

The housing department will draft a public consultation-led proposal for rapid Cabinet review.

Overview

  • The initiative targets renewal of old, dilapidated and underused areas with modern infrastructure and public amenities while protecting property and livelihoods.
  • The framework elevates land reorganization, private investment through PPPs, a single-window approval system and a proposed state-level redevelopment authority.
  • The plan calls for mandatory inclusion of green building standards, energy efficiency measures and broader sustainability requirements in every project.
  • Heritage preservation is emphasized with tailored strategies for old markets, government housing complexes, industrial zones and unauthorized settlements, including priority for retired government housing and encroachment-affected areas.
  • External development charges will be reviewed to be practical and citizen-friendly, with proceeds ringfenced for roads, water, sewerage, drainage, electricity and other public amenities under stricter accountability.
