Why is Gurgaon turning from green jungles to concrete jungles?

Gurgaon or now converted to Gurugram is one of the oldest cities. The city had a long journey of converting from green jungles with wild animals to concrete jungles with some of the best MNCs and top residential projects. The process of evolving from a jungle to a well-developed city of this ancient city is interesting to the core. But have you ever thought about the reasons behind this drastic change and quick development?

The city is so old that people even tell stories of epic “Mahabharata” here. Some say that Dronacharya was from Gurgaon and this is one of the reasons it is also called ‘Gurugram’. There was a time when city’s condition was far from a place worth living. But the situation started to change after the establishment of automobile company Maruti Suzuki’s plant in Manesar. Realestate in Gurgaon started to change after this and gradually it became one of the largest IT hubs not just in India but in the world.

But the just entry of Maruti Suzuki is not the only reason behind the development of Gurgaon from a jungle with ‘blue cows’ to one of the best places to own a home in India. Here are some more factors that played a vital role in city’s growth and helped it become the ‘Millennium City’.

Shortage of space in Delhi: When builders and budding organizations stopped finding suitable and affordable land in the national capital Delhi, they shifted their attention to the less explored area Gurgaon. To accommodate the huge population in Delhi, residential property in Gurgaon was developed. Proximity to Delhi was one of the reasons people find it a suitable location to live.

Entry of MNCs: Almost every leading IT company today has its office in Gurgaon, which helped in the growth of city’s real estate market. Multinational companies like Wipro, GE, IBP, Genpact etc. started coming to the city. Today Gurgaon has one of the largest “cyber hubs” in India working as a jewel for the city.

Infrastructural development: Infrastructural development of Gurgaon was way faster and better than other cities sharing a border with Delhi. This also contributed to city’s growth as people always like to live at a place with smooth connectivity and social infrastructure like educational institutions, hospitals, markets etc. The government proposed wide roads to ensure smooth connectivity to Delhi and to reduce traffic on roads.

World-class projects: Leading builders launched some of the best residential projects with state-of-the-art amenities. Today luxury flats in Gurgaon can give competition to many international housing projects just because of amazing design and advanced features. Ireo is one of the developers that launched a technically advanced home where everything from opening doors to dimming light and setting curtains, everything happens on a touch of a button.

These are some of the reasons behind the exceptional development of Gurgaon. Today the city has become one of the most sought after locations in India to live, work and study. People from all across the world come here to invest money in real estate and work.
