  • 5 Things You Should Know About Chennai Central Metro Station
    QUICK BYTES RAILWAY 5 Things You Should Know About the Massive Chennai Central Metro Station by Jovita Aranha February 8, 2018, 6:34 pm With an area of over three lakh square feet, the Chennai Metro Rail Limited’s (CMRL) underground Central metro station may be its biggest ever. Deemed the ‘mother of all metro stations’, and under construction by Afcons Infrastructure, the three-decked metro station is expected to open in April 2018, reports the Times of India. Located below the ever-buzzing Poonamallee High Road, the Central Metro station will be one of two metro stations, (apart from Alandur metro station) where Corridor I (Airport–Washermanpet) will intersect with Corridor II (Chennai Central–St Thomas Mount) via Egmore and CMBT. Here are five things to know about Chennai’s biggest upcoming 28m-deep underground station: 1. The Central metro station will be equipped with over 62 staircases, 36 escalators and 15 elevators. If you think there’s a chance you might lose your way in the humongous maze-like space, signboards with the directions leading to your destination will come to your rescue and guide you. 2. Estimated to be double the size of an average underground station in the city, the station will have 50,000 sqft dedicated to food and entertainment at the ticketing level. So, no longer will waiting at a metro station be a dull affair. You will have all the avenues to fulfil your gastronomic and entertainment delights. 3. The station will be equipped with over 14 ticket counters staffed by uniformed Chennai Metro Rail personnel to help you use the ticket-vending machine.

    MONSOON ASSEMBLAGES ELEMENTS OF THE URBAN HYDROLOGY OF SOUTH CHENNAI Literature Review Author: Michele Vianello Date: February 2017 ProJect Document Number: OV_Vianello_2017A Monsoon Assemblages sis a proJect funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Grant Agreement No. 679873. This review looks at the literature regarding the hydrology and the built up environment of South Chennai as well as the different types of knowledge shaped around them. It examines academic papers, books and book chapters originating in a wide variety of disciplines (eg. architecture, social sciences, geography, hydrology) as well as non-academic texts (eg. newspaper articles, official administrative body websites, NGO reports) and maps (eg. from official agencies, academic papers). It particularly attempts to understand how the different monsoonal cycles have been playing a role in shaping the hydrology and the built up environment as well as the different types of knowledge used to interpret them and act upon them, or else how these cycles failed to be effectively captured in the knowledge production. Addressing these themes required to examine a very diverse literature, at times tackling very specific aspects of the issues at hand. A consistent attempt has been made to coherently extract those bits of information and build an overall picture of the area while laying out the context and identifying relevant issues for the Monsoon Assemblages research project. In spite of this, this review does not claim to be a complete investigation on the elements of the hydrology of South Chennai: the objective has been rather that of identifying which gaps, pertinent to the Monsoon Assemblages line of enquiry, will have to be filled as well as scoping the field for the overall research.
