RUDA-Lahore Project: Future Considerations
RUDA-Lahore undoubtedly stands as the benchmark in urban development. It has the potential to generate an enormous amount of revenue for the government and fulfill the housing demand most effectively.
However, there are still factors that can impact its efficiency which must be addressed to add more to its value. Like how will the authority deal with the society developers that neglect the commitments with their clients? And what measures shall be taken to compensate the end-users if they ever had to encounter a financial loss?
For that, Firstly, RUDA should strictly execute all the regulations regarding the development of the project. In case of non-responsiveness from the society developers, it must take action to cancel the legal status of the respective society or the development team.
Secondly, RUDA should implement compensation mechanisms for the affectees in case of mis-commitment from the developers or any kind of scam. Besides, a timely delivery of all the projects shall also add to its popularity and trustworthiness.
These steps must be considered to ensure trust and reliability from the end-users which will eventually add an immense amount to the government’s revenue and the real estate market.
Conclusion
RUDA Lahore is nothing less than a very well-organized and master-planned river waterfront city project. It is one-of-a-kind real estate development in the country.
