Hyderabad is growing rapidly, and away from public transport.
Hyderabad's Core Urban Region added nearly a third to its built-up volume between 2016-2023. Growth is fast. But 27% of everything built sits beyond a 15-min walk to any bus, Metro or MMTS stop.

Tap any spot and see how far you can walk in 5, 10 and 15 minutes, what you can reach, and how shaded the streets are along the way. Compare wards. Check what each bus or metro stop puts within reach.
All 3 corporations, 300 wards. Open data.

Cyberabad is ground zero. It grew 56% in 7 years, and accounts for half of all new construction in the region.
It's also the least connected: 22% of Cyberabad's buildings sit beyond transit reach, vs ~12% in GHMC/Malkajgiri. Under stricter estimates, 27% vs ~15%.

2.5 more years of construction have passed since, with no matching transit expansion. The gap has likely widened further.

#Hyderabad’s water systems were designed to store water. #Lakes overflowed into other lakes. Water slowed down, spread out,recharged the ground & eventually reached the river

This is a work in progress, but sharing it early as some areas in Hyderabad are already experiencing temperatures as high as 44°C this season. We hope this can help support public awareness and contribute toward identifying high risk areas for heat stress.
