Singh further said that the concept of green housing was adopted as buildings and associated development have an enormous impact on the environment. Designed to catch maximum sunlight and ventilation, 30% of total site area has been reserved as landscaped green spaces. ""Also, the scheme for affordable homes was designed in a way to cater to all sections of society. Plots size of flats is 30 sq m each," the YEIDA CEO said. "The multi-storied apartments, which also have stilt parking facilities, were sold at an affordable rate of Rs 7.5 lakh per unit for 1BHK," he added.
