| Abstract |
Since its economic liberalization in 1991, the Indian economy has developed rapidly, particularly in the suburbs of the country’s metropolitan areas, which serve as its core. The suburban areas of the Delhi metropolitan region are undergoing development, as evidenced by the construction of industrial parks, office buildings, housing, and commercial malls for the new middle and wealthy classes. This study aimed to clarify the prevailing situation and problems on the urban fringe of Delhi by investigating the actual conditions of housing supply and the characteristics of residents in Manesar, an extension city of Gurugram in the Delhi metropolitan area.
Field surveys were conducted in February 2016 and 2017 regarding the status of development in Sector 1, Manesar. The results revealed that 269 detached houses were constructed from among 536 plots, and 19 small apartments were built. There were 63 paying guest houses (PGs, privately rented houses) in the detached house blocks, and 19 group houses (condominiums or high-rise apartments) of the 55 that had been planned had been completed. In Manesar, there are many vacant plots and vacant houses because housing owners purchase plots and houses for investment. Many speculators manage rental houses because their prices and rents are cheaper than Gurugram and Manesar is promising in the near future for the plan of Delhi Metro. There are many PGs because there are few restaurants and convenience facilities in Manesar. |
