Taking inspiration from the celebrated Times Square in New York, the Telangana government plans to develop a similar public space called the 'T Square' at Knowledge City, Raidurgam.
The T Square will be an open plaza for communication where people can congregate freely throughout the day, according to an official from the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC).
The plaza will be a diverse space, incorporating greenery and serving as a micro urban lung for the neighborhood. It will host various events to celebrate local spirit, from impromptu concerts to organized gatherings, the official said.
The T Square will also feature vibrant digital billboards like Times Square. TGIIC has solicited consultancy proposals for architectural and transaction advisory services to develop this concept.
"Developing this intersection as a major tourist destination with vibrant urban spaces, an entertainment hub, a collaboration zone, and a commercial intersection will be part of the T Square," said a TGIIC official.
Hitec City and the Financial District, located in the city's western side popularly known as Cyberabad, together are considered the central business district (CBD) of Hyderabad.
TGIIC has also invited requests for proposals (RFP) for consultancy services to prepare a feasibility report and a detailed project report for improving corridor connectivity from Durgam Cheruvu Cable-Stayed Bridge (end of I-Labs) to Shilpa Layout Flyover (via T-hub), covering an approximate length of 2.2 km.
