New Blue Area Islamabad Masterplan

CDA has allowed the building of residential apartments, commercial buildings, corporate buildings, food arena, refueling stations, shops, and areas. The developers are allowed to leave 30% land open parking are in case of area more than 1000 square yards.
Reason to develop New Blue Area Islamabad
This project was approved and launched by former Prime Minister Imran Khan. It was introduced to meet the commercial needs of Islamabad. As we already know, the old Blue Area is a commercial hub of Islamabad and it was getting congested due to excessive development and got a bit polluted due to air pollution, land pollution and heavy traffic.
So, under the surveillance of CDA, New Blue Area was introduced and the total 26 commercial plots were offered for auction. The main purpose of this project was to provide different job opportunities and commercial businesses to the people. It will also bring overseas investments and foreign exchange to the country. According to Imran Khan the revenue generated from the project will be invested in “Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme” to provide shelter to the needy ones. The auction generated 25-30 billion Rupees and 5% of the revenue was reserved for facilities and amenities of the commercial area.
Difference between Old Blue Area and New Blue Area
The idea of New Blue Area came up due to many increasing demands and needs of the era. Old Blue Area has always been the busiest commercial Hub of the city and further development was nearly impossible. It had become congested and polluted as well. So, former PM Imran Khan along with CDA introduced the idea of New Blue Area Islamabad.
It is now a whole separate commercial district in Islamabad with a lot more amenities like underground electrification, spacious parking areas, underground and basement parking areas, world-class infrastructure, and service roads. All these facilities contribute to regulate a balanced ecosystem, the service road and F-9 Park are going to contribute a lot in reducing the crowd and traffic. So, the major differences are based on new technology and groomed designs and infrastructure of the New Blue Area.
