The large cities world wide are known and defined by their iconic skyscrapers. To name a few: The Petronas in Kaula Lumpur; the twin towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan (levelled by 9/11) and the Empire State Building, in New York; Sears Tower in Chicago, Taipei 101 in Taiwan and the Burj tower in Dubai — these structures stand as towering symbols of their cities’ power and character.
Unfortunately, India does not have any tall structure which can be epitomised as a skyscraper. If plans work out according to schedule, Hyderabad may become the first Indian city to have an iconic superstructure.
The Government is planning to create an exclusive Sky Scraper Zone (SSZ) on the city outskirts, where construction of buildings with less than 12 storeys will not be permitted.450-metre tall structure is at present being constructed in Manchirevula, on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The 100-storeyed building is being constructed by Andhra Pradesh Infrastructure Corporation, and will be called APIIC tower. Its amazing to see the growth towards the Reality Sector in India. With this skyscraper the government is heading towards few more with certain established norms which have to be considered before moving forward with the plan.
Known as the city of Pearls, Hyderabad has a population of around ten million people. Aside from this, it is the second largest in the country when it comes to land area covered. "It's time a fast-growing city like Hyderabad had a skyscraper zone with no restriction on the height of the building. An SSZ would be a multiple-use zone with high-end offices, commercial, shopping and entertainment complexes. Government sources say inadequate fire-fighting equipment in the city will not be a hurdle as such tall structures will come with intelligent building system and in-built safety mechanisms.
