An imaginary circle of 50&nbsp;km radius was drawn around [[Raipur]] and this massive area was divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant was analyzed in context of regional development, existing development, climatic factors, flora and fauna, water resources, transport network etc and the efforts yielded the present site southeast of Raipur at about 15&nbsp;km distance, close to Mana Airport.

-==Methodology Adopted in Plan-Making==
-While venturing to prepare the development plan for Naya Raipur, basic studies were made in the form of a secondary survey of data on [[Chandigarh]] (the first capital of independent India) and Raipur, the elder sister and the most important “organic” metropolis in the region.
-The space quantum against each activity/work-centre was then ascertained going by accepted thumb-rule of the concerned industry/trade/activity, to case of capital complex, and government jobs exact figures were taken into consideration. The resultant space quantum was then allocated on two-dimension on the structure plan and final quantum, shape, location, was defined by exact boundaries/roads on the plan.
-With iterations, the allocated spaces were again translated in terms of number of jobs and the total number of job in the city arrived at. With a population of 5.6 lakhs, the Naya Raipur City is excepted to generate approximately 2.2 lakh jobs, with an assumed workforce participation rate of 40%.  The high standards of physical and social infrastructure adopted for the city will be able to cope with the maximum capacity of the city.<ref name="nayaraipur.in"/>
