Cyberabad Set for Makeover With 300 Parks, Green Workspaces and Safer Roads

PROPERTY PULSE

Hyderabad: From creating green workspaces in public parks and improving transparency in civic spending to addressing traffic congestion and strengthening waste management, the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) has announced six initiatives aimed at making the city greener, safer and more livable.

CMC Commissioner Dr. G. Srijana outlined the initiatives covering the three zones of Serilingampally, Kukatpally, and Quthbullapur. The plans include developing 300 new parks, introducing Work from Park facilities, installing information boards at civic work sites, improving urban mobility and promoting child-friendly infrastructure.

Under the Work from Park concept, two locations have been identified at Madhava Hills Colony, Masjid Banda, in Serilingampally and Madhapur in Kukatpally. The Madhava Hills facility will cover around 1.5 acres, with 700 sq yd earmarked for workspaces.

Facilities will include free Wi-Fi, power outlets, seating, CCTV cameras, a refreshments kiosk and walking tracks, catering to IT professionals, freelancers, students and remote workers. Locations have also been identified and designs prepared for Madhapur.

To strengthen accountability, CMC will introduce standard boards at every civic work site displaying project details, estimated budgets, executing agencies, officer contacts and completion timelines. QR codes linked to the CureOne app will allow residents to register complaints and report quality issues.

Completion boards will also mention contract values and defect liability periods. A box drain and CC road project near Venkateshwara Colony railway underbridge, worth ₹46.31 lakh, was completed on October 1, 2026, with defect liability extending until October 1, 2028.

Cyberabad Moves 2026 from Nov 26 to 28

On mobility, the CMC, the Cyberabad Police, and the Society for Cyberabad Security Council will organise Cyberabad Moves 2026 at T-Hub from November 26 to 28. The symposium will focus on pedestrian safety, public transport connectivity, corporate commuting and sustainable mobility.

Six major junctions are under development, while 74 critical junctions have been identified for redevelopment in consultation with Traffic Police and expert groups. The event will also feature a Mobility Innovation Challenge and knowledge sessions, culminating in a Cyberabad Moves Declaration.

In partnership with UNICEF India, CMC is pursuing Child-Friendly City certification through a 24-month roadmap. Children will participate in ward consultations, Bal Sabhas, safety walks, school parliaments and proposed Junior Citizens' Consultations.

The programme will cover six areas, including urban planning, parks and public spaces, safe mobility, service delivery, schools and child protection. A Child Rights Secretariat Cell will be established at the corporation's head office.

Meanwhile, the Coconut Landfill Diversion Programme has registered 644 vendors across Serilingampally (249), Kukatpally (235), and Quthbullapur (160). Nine recyclers and 12 dedicated vehicles have been aligned to collect and divert coconut waste from landfills. The programme collected 3,235 units between November 1 and 6.

Vendors have been asked to segregate whole coconuts, knife-cut slices and stems at source for collection and recycling. Following initial operational challenges involving vendor mapping, driver training, smartphones and collection routes, CMC began its third round on November 8.
