Who said Kolkata can't be the best place to live in India? With this Smart City initiative for New Town, more and more people will now buy flats in this area.

We need more schools in New Town. There are hardly a couple of them here as of now. More schools, colleges, educational institutes would help New Town grow into a smarter place.

Waiting for the Metro services to start in New Town. Really looking forward to take the elevated corridor and see New Town for a totally new way. The Metro would also speed up the movement in the region beyond a doubt.

Transport management system needs a big boost in New Town. The region is not yet well populated and still we have traffic jams, road block and long signal delays.

Each and every building coming up in New Town should be asked to maintain standard safety and eco friendly measures, which will only help to make the future more clean and environment friendly.
