1.12 LAND OWNERSHIP |
||
|
1.12.1 The designated area of Auroville covers 19.63 sq. km i.e. 1963 ha. For proper and orderly development of Auroville as per the Master Plan, it would be necessary to have full control by the Auroville Foundation over the activities within the above mentioned area. For this purpose, Auroville has been in process of securing the lands required for development from the beginning. All the lands so far secured have been acquired by negotiated purchase from the owners. As on 1st August 2000, Auroville owns 778 ha. of land in the designated township area, as indicated in table 8: |

1.12.2 Distribution of land ownership indicated in Drawing 5 clearly shows that about 83% of the land within the City Area is under the control of the Auroville Foundation while the remaining 17% needs to be acquired. In respect of the Green Belt, however, 70% of the land is under private ownership and needs to be secured for planned and orderly development. |

1.12.3
The present policy for the development of the land has been clearly
laid down in terms of open spaces to be provided and environmental parameters
to be adhered to. The Development Council, taking note of the above parameters
and the essentiality of the project for the development of Auroville,
scrutinises all such projects. |
