This is what the government proposed initially:
Rajarhat New Town : Total area: 38.55 sq / km, Flats [apartments] to be constructed: 3 lakh (approx) [3 lakh = 300,000], Water treatment plants to be built: 1, Road network to be built: 700 km
Estimated population 750,000 residents and 250,000 floating population.
So the projected density is pretty high. Not a very happy situation.
The biggest project currently under development is Sukhobrishti complex which will have 20,000 apartments and a projected population of 100,000. The project will be over 150 acres.
