Open Spaces - Today’s Ultimate Luxury..!
By Mr. Arvind Jain, Pride Group
The place of residence is a
measure of one’s quality of living, and the availability of open recreational
spaces near one’s place of residence is a direct measure of social and physical
satisfaction.
The main purpose of open
spaces is providing the means for the
recreation that is necessary for overall
health and welfare.
As a result, the
availability of ample open spaces near a housing project also enhances property
values, the appearance of the community, quality of life and preservation of
natural surroundings.
No wonder, then, that
integrated townships are in such a high demand these days. They provide a
generous measure of all kinds of open spaces – spaces which are at no time in
danger of being taken over by additional developments, as is so often seen in
less regulated environments.
Open spaces in integrated
townships can be broadly divided into:
Parks
Linear open spaces
Natural/informal open spaces
Amenity spaces within the housing area
Grassed sitting out areas
Ornamental gardens
The various benefits of open
spaces and recreational parks
Both active & passive forms of recreation
Direct benefits to health (clean air,
hazard safety, groundwater recharge, protection of environment)
Economic development facilitated by
increased value of real estate
A distinctive community image
A balance between modernization and natural
resource protection
Cultural and educational benefits
Healthy lifestyle and improved
physical/mental fitness
A positive intellectual, spiritual, social
and emotional experience
With our cities becoming
more crowded with every passing day, only high-rise format buildings provide
the option to save open spaces for the above benefits. When construction takes
a vertical form, the open spaces around the buildings can be properly maintained
and curated for the need of recreation.
This caters to both the health &
aesthetic benefits of the residents.

Given the arbitrary
consumption of all available open spaces for development today, the search for
a pollution free and green environment within which to bring up one’s family
can be extremely challenging.
Integrated townships are the only projects that
offer these possibilities.
Apart from physical and
environmental development, open spaces have a positive effect upon the
psychological well-being of the community at large.
Further, they enhance the
investment value of homes within their precincts. Consequently, integrated
townships with high rises and open spaces are sold out faster and are in higher
constant demand than conventional residential premises.
