Kolkata is today at point of large scale economic rejuvenation
and to help in a multitude of developmental challenges for
the future are the planners or the development authority of
the city - KMDA. It is the statutory planning and development
authority for the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) and is mainly

and execution of project proposals, besides carrying out
land use and development control functions.

KMDA has made strategic planning for Metropolitan Development
(1900- 2015) for both overall and sectoral development where
major projects along with preliminary cost estimates were
provided. This Plan later formed the basis of the Kolkata
Megacity Program which is now under implementation. KMDA has
also finalized a perspective plan for 25 years titled 'VISION-2025'
where a Master plan for 25 years for traffic and transportation,
water supply, drainage, sewerage and sanitation has been drafted.
