Covering an area of 82 hectares adjacent to the Ongar Road, the SDZ will see the building of almost 3,000 high-density housing units plus a railway line to serve the new neighbourhood. The development will include a neighbourhood centre with schools, shops and medical facilities, child-care services and cafs, with a civic square as a focal point.
