In Real estate Cochin (http://www.jairajbuilders.com/), a great number of fallacies exist in the urban real estate development deterring many people from enjoying a pleasant and peaceful live in major cities like Cochin and Thrissur.
People choose to live in urban areas to obtain easy access to employment, education, medical attention, entertainment, and transportation facilities. These conveniences are viable only when a large populace live within commuting distances. These conveniences cannot be available in a distant village. An idyllic life in a distant village is as impractical as living in Utopia.
Take for example our cities, they are congested because the activities that should be done inside buildings or compounds (shopping, parking vehicles, loading and unloading, etc.,) are done on the city roads causing traffic obstruction and resultant congestion. As more buildings take these activities indoors and remove them from the roads, we ought to experience the free flow of traffic as it is intended. The greater amount of buildings in developed countries leaves their roads free from congestion.
Each flat that goes up saves space on the ground for a tree. Tall buildings in the city generate more spaces that are open. Tall buildings also provide beautiful views of the city to its occupants. Instead of seeing tall buildings as harming the environment, we can see it promote more ground space around which is usually used to plant tress and for natural landscaping.
Nearby constructions are definite nuisances. However, imagine yourself in a few more years’ time. Every family in Kerala living in a good home, congestion free roads, clean pavements, schools, ample public and private transport, shopping centers, adequate power, water, drainage systems and extensive green spaces. Only the construction and real estate industry can achieve all this.
Half a century ago, Winston Churchill described Singapore as the "cesspool of the East". However, from the mid seventies, Singapore has grown into a spectacularly successful city. A massive program of construction completely re-housed the poor. Forty to fifty floor buildings dominate the skyline. Singapore’s entry into the club of the most elite cities of the world was heralded by the elegant apartment buildings, multi-storied car parks, huge shopping, and business centers. A stringent anti-litter campaign has earned it the title of being one of the cleanest cities in the world. We too must learn from the lessons of our peers else, we will be left behind nursing the glory of our by-gone days.
