From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of areas and neighbourhoods in Chennai by region. The city, spanning an area of 1,189 square kilometers, is divided on the basis of composition into four major parts: North, Central, South and West. North Chennai is primarily an industrial area while some areas are residential. Central Chennai is the commercial heart of the city and the downtown area. South Chennai and West Chennai, previously predominantly residential areas are fast turning into commercial areas, hosting a large number of IT and financial companies[1] along the GST Road, OMR and NH 48. North Chennai ends with the area Red Hills, West Chennai ends with the area Tiruninravur, South Chennai ends with the area Vandalur.

Satellite Towns

[edit]

Although technically not belonging to the Chennai Metropolitan area, many of these satellite towns are referred to as being within Chennai.

The State government will decide on the expansion of the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) before the end of this fiscal, R. Vaithilingam, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, told the Assembly on 25 August 2011. In view of the fast-paced development taking place in areas beyond the present metropolitan area jurisdiction, like Sriperumbudur, Kelambakkam, Tiruvallur and Mahabalipuram, it had become necessary to review the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area that was notified in 1973-74, he said.[2]
