LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is planning to replace old low-rise buildings in residential schemes with modern high-rise apartments as part of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Redevelopment Policy-2026.
LDA Vice-chairperson Prathamesh Kumar has instructed officials to develop detailed redevelopment proposals.
The first phase will focus on residential blocks along Wazir Hasan Road in Hazratganj, and also includes schemes in Paper Mill Colony and Sector-G of the Kanpur Road Scheme.
Officials noted that the Wazir Hasan Road complex, constructed in 1988, consists of four G+3 towers housing 64 flats. While most units are registered, a few remain unallotted or pending. The buildings, nearly four decades old, are in poor condition, with encroachments reported in the parking and park areas. Some flats are occupied by unauthorized residents.
The redevelopment initiative will replace these low-rise structures with multi-storey apartment complexes that promise improved infrastructure and amenities. Current allottees will be accommodated within the new developments.
Similarly, the Sector-G proposal involves approximately 1,000 double-storey houses built in 1990, many of which are currently occupied without authorization.
A comparable plan will be executed in Paper Mill Colony following thorough surveys and inspections.
