Why Chennai has no skyscrapers? (Tamil) | Understanding Chennai - PART 1 | Aashiq Ahamed 

You have forgotten to mention one very very very important historical fact. The FIRST HIGH RAISED BUILDING of MODERN INDIA IS LIC BUILDING MOUNT ROAD MADRAS. Of course the very next year the record was broken when construction of USHA TOWERS BOMBAY was completed. Please remember here that we are talking about modern India and Modern high raised building and should not get confused with Kudup Minar Delhi or Tanjore Temple tower etc. LIC Building Madras was the first modern tallest building in the modern India. Ref Wikipedia - LIC building Madras.

நல்ல விளக்கம் ஆனால் நீங்கள் ஆயிரம் தான் சொன்னாலும் ஒரு நகரத்திற்கு உயரமான கட்டிடங்கள் தான் அழகு தரும் அந்த விஷயத்தில் மும்பையை பார்த்தல் எனக்கு பொறாமை

Chennai really look like a village .

Good analysis sir.😊 Current highest building of Chennai is SPR City apartments located at Perambur(where former Binny mill was existed). Also known for Market of India.

Would be amazing if u did a video like this for every city in Tamil Nadu Would highly be educative and eye opening.

The old Map you showed is from 1909 and it is NOT 426 sq km. It was barely 100 sq km. The current 426 sq km is the area of the Greater Chennai corporation which includes areas like Ambattur, Madhavaram and Solinganallur. The 1089 sq km is the area of Chennai metropolitan area which includes distant suburbs like Tambaram, Avadi, Vandalur, etc. Anna Nagar came up in the 1960s and not after 1975.

I am not a chennai guy. But i love chennai more than any other cities. But nowadays lots of people hating Chennai. Because of flood. And 19% of the city is going to be under water in 2050. Let the government develop the Chennai city. But Tamil Nadu government also develop the city like coimbatore Madurai. And should make them as one of the top most metro cities in india. Should make that city to compete with Bangalore Hyderabad. Because of the weather and flood chennai is hatted by lots of people

Educational, keep it coming..

Good info brother. Looking forward for such useful information about our cities and villages

City expansion only leads to more collection to CMWSSB. They will not supply water, but can collect tax.

Chennai city and suburbs and other areas are already having some Skyscrapers. If more and Skyscrapers come we will have water problem. already we are getting hard water in many areas. Mumbai city and suburbs do no get hard water. Already lot of Skyscrapers have been constructed near Pallikaranai , 200 Feet Radial road etc.

Thanks Bro.. Romba naala its been in my mind.. Why chennai la Highrise building illai nu..

Enakkum ithey doubt irunthuchu.... Thanks for detailed information bro.... Keep going

Expecting part 2 ❤ 🎉 !!

Nice explanation sir .....hatts of you 🔥🔥

NIce video, please put more informative videos like this for Chennai

Now they started building skyscrapers in core city -perambur - Mount road - perungudi - sholinganallur

Informative presentation. Well done👏

Awesome explanation & detailed info bro

Thanks for analysis, very informative.

Bro u nailed it , the content 💥🔥

Super ah neat ah clear and cut ah proper research oda sonninga super 🎉😊

Use full brother

Thanks for the clarification.. this queries is in going my mind since long ago...

excellent research - bring up more interesting articles

I think Noida and Gurugram also have a good number of skyscrapers. Recently, Bengaluru and Hyderabad have also started constructing a lot of skyscrapers

In future Chennai expand and reach to Melmaruvattthur

Though Coimbatore being rich city, the highest buildings are only around 20 floors

Well explained gud

Well done bro

Good content.

It’s until recently research shows skyscrapers are high maintenance and economically not viable in long term unless it’s monumental. Although it may boost tourism. More than height contemporary design includes energy efficiency, fluidity in the elevation and reusability.

Super ah explain panni irukiye thala 👌👌

Good and very useful analysis brother but why CMDA only concentrating on horizontal development which affects the agriculture is there any solution for this issue.

Chennai was land of lakes. The salinity of soil has been found to be not conducive for high raise

Interesting information.Thank you sir.

Basically Chennai is located on a swamp... On top for skyscrapers you need 24/7 Electicity... with our current situation you can imagine...

My MADRAS sunk by dynasty , corruption , bribe , exploitations ?

That was nice

Current Chennai City limit 426skm old metropolitan area limet 1100 skm new metropolitan area limet 5900 skm

Mumbai also the coastal only la

Nice video bro.. If you can add more visual it will be great to understand.

Also, one more thing I need to highlight is out of all the other Metros in India Chennai has drinking water issues. Though I agree other cities do have that due to increase in population but Chennai has water issues even from the 90's. When I use live in Bangalore in the late 90's our home doesn't had borewell. We use to get Cauvery water all day. Same in Mumbai especially during monsoon season you will water more frequently even in summer its still better than Chennai. TN politicians still destroying our natural resources and giving it to neighboring states. We need to concentrate on developing more water bodies. In future, no state will give us water until and unless if there is flooding. Skyscrapers will worse the situation because they have to depend upon tanker lorries like the same way OMR residential people are doing now,.

Sir what is consultancy

Romba naal ques kuu enaki tha bro answer kadaichathu tq brother♥️

Mumbai . Noida. Gurugram skyscraper city

Yes enakku intha doubt irunthathu pro..thank 😢you

Sir if horizontal space expansion model adopted ..it will be a disaster farm land and farming will completly vanish it is best govt allow vertical development and concentrate on farming..for water crisis what govt is doing with two desalination plant of sea water.

You go to the omr road all building 30 to 45 floors

Crazy way to promote exterior chennai real estate 😂

I was a downtown Mannady man, it should have developed vertically atleast the George town area. The water and infrastructure are till too good here developed by British. Unfortunately the baboos of secretariet and other office staff purchased a small piece of land at Nanganallur, Velachery etc built their independent houses as un organised colonies. If the urban Development had any imagination atleast the Georgetown would have been like Coloba of Bombay. The baboos spent more time in travel and not seen anything other than office, train and home. A wasted generation and seeded the un organised urban Development.

Thala yaru thala neenu.. First time unoda video pakaran...wow pakka nu ellam solla varala..but the flow and consistency of your vocal output and oru information ah clean ah deliver panna avlo menakedrra nu therithu.. behind the screen inth video ku evlo Manda kodachal aagi script panna nu purithu.. Anyways... 👍 nice👍 Keep it up.

Chennai don't need taller skyscrapers its nice mid rise building around it

Its still a shame that as landmark we dont have a modern skyscrapers. Few backward countires have but we dont.. Constructing few skyscrapers wont harm anything.. It should be commercial one not apartments.. Chennai infrastructure and cleainess is typically third world

Besant Nagar considered as the "boonies" in early 1980s. Should develop Chennai like Singapore.

As of now South India's tallest building is SPR city which is located in Chennai

Good info Aashiq. If high rises come in the city, water shortage will become even more acute. So I think the horizontal development model is better fir us.

Sir omr roads line all tallest building ok.but mount road line your speech answer ok.

Add subtitles to this video. So that it reaches more people all around.

6:16 if horizontal growth is the objective, why is govt and CMDA drying up lakes within the city? Classical cases of collossal failures are Velachery lake and Pallikaranai marsh. Instead, this video could have said Chennai city has no developmental plan even to the extent of tier 2s like Pune, Indore, Ahmedabad etc and we are left to ourselves to figure out.

Great

In almost every developed ir developing country's are several skyscrapers. In some cities, the skyscrapers are all in a designated area(see Paris-LaDefance, London-CanaryWarf NewYork-Manhattan, etc.,),etc And on other country cities thay may be spreading over one or more areas. And they may also be called as Business or Financial or Commercial District or area, but they do exists in most cities and its part if the city's modern must haves in the 2023 21st century. TAMILNADU and Chennai though are having good literacy and educated and good in all industries and IT, yet you folk's don't develop 1) Skyscrapers district 2) River beautification, Riverside public parks, walking paths/themed walkways, river cruises(day and evening) all over the rivers flowing thru Chennai, Madurai, Tiruchi, etc ,. And create a big tourism industry 3) in the marina beach create a high rise city and bay watch tower with modern glassed dome gondola/tubular cabs/glassed lifts going up tge tower to say 200meters and giving people and tourists a great breathtaking view of chennai and Sea. 4) Where tge river meets tge sea(mouth) have intetnational standards water theme parks and SEALIFE/SEAWORLD style attractions 5) the Chennai people and your fxckxn councils and councillors and municipalities ckean all roads, streets, all digged roads, streets nicely cleared and patched. Have bug and clean and nice padestrian pavements(i see most of you walking on street/roads and nit on pavements), stop pedestruan pavements encroachments by people/vehicles and corporates. NO HANDICAP/BLIND/OLD/ILL people can walk in pedestrian pavements bcos its fxckxn not proper. 6) Run city tour OPEN BUS(RED BUS) in a posh manner as it us being done in most countries and thier cities 6) create a long stretch of walking paths along all of the stretches where tge rivers(coovam, Adyar etc. ) flows incside the city with lights and if required create as many small shops for lower income people's so that they run stalls for making a living. 7) redecorate and make every bridge, public building, including new ones with a monumental outlook as a public/ tourist attractions instead of corruption and scams in the public bridges, building's, etc , Again, I'm not sure Y I'm telling this to you TAMILS, bcos yiu are a ancient race and you know everything, but you still live in the past😢

hi

Good Information, pls Try speak tamil

This video has missed the Most Important No. ONE point - Air Pollution. The 20th century Devpt of skyscrapers in Western countries led to huge concentration of population & explosion of pollution from countless vehicles & enormous consumption of electricity generated from coal/oil fired thermal plants. Late 20th century Urban Planners realized the dangerous health hazards of Skyscrapers creating vast closely-packed urban populations in ‘concrete jungles’. This is the status in Delhi with Air Quality Index, AQI, over 400 - one of the most polluted cities in the world. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata & even Pune have high AQI affecting the health of their populations. But City Planners in Chennai have actively prevented ‘concrete jungles’ in Chennai by strictly limiting skyscrapers in City Business Centre around Anna Salai & ensuring horizon expansion of urban population. Chennai City Planners & Administration has ensured AQI of 90 which is the Best & Unmatched by any other Metropolitan city in India.

Consider another factor and Geological Analysis. Chennai earth mostly filled by Marine Clay which’s not suitable to build skyscrapers.

If chennai expanded 5000 sq. In future then how agriculture can be done smoothly it affects our agriculture ,

Wrong info , first map u showed isn’t 426 sqkm it’s 190’ ish only …426 was the scnd map I.e latest Chennai district boundary and also Chennai corp boundary from 2018 , Chennai metropolitan area ( city + and it’s suburban ) was only 1196 sqkm till 2023 …from 2023 it’s 5,900 ish sqkm includes entire Kanchi , chengai , Thiruvalluvar and a tiny bit of Ranipet district ….it was planed to be 8,800 ish sqkm by last govt before can be increased to it in near future

2001 ல் சுனாமியா? 2004 ல் தான் சென்னையில் சுனாமி ஏற்பட்டது. தப்பு தப்பாக சொல்லவேண்டாம்.

Good explanation and can you do similar videos for all other cities in Tamilnadu or else atleast a video on which city is more feasible for such vertical development in tamilnadu

பரப்பு அளவுல சென்னை எத்தனையாவது இடத்துல இருக்கு ? இந்தியால

Because our Chennai has serious water problems.

What you are saying are.not true. Many builders are having big land bank. They are not interested in JV within the city due to complex situation.

Chennai information cma super

Already chennai city lost so many water bodies like Velachery lake ! No wonder chennai is water scarcity area !

Dubai has more skyscrapers

Banglore more developed than chennai

Romba naal irundha doubt yen chennai la periya buildings illa nu ippo clear aayiruchu thanks for this video bro

Lowest property appreciation in the country , Y builders invest in huge projects? Conservative & village mindedness , not to live in HighRises are the main reasons. Other reasons - None. Sprawling city means - Destruction of forest area.

Sir, i am from bengaluru. I dont like skyscrapers because they prevent & obstruct natural air flow in the city. This will result in increased day to day temperatures. Now bengaluru summers are hotter as compared to 10 years ago.

Scyscrapper is NOT sign of development! There is zero human value in seeking pride on symbolisms!
