The Riverfront Development includes innovative solutions to the challenges of managing a river in a rapidly growing urban metropolis. Solutions include laying interceptor sewer lines along the length of the river and building pumping stations to capture previously untreated sewage and preventing waste water disposal in the Sabarmati.
The Riverfront Development makes the river accessible to the public for the first time in recent history. The project creates value for all sectors of society; the project includes vast new parks and gardens, establishes permanent space for unorganized markets, and encourages outdoor recreation along the river banks.
The Riverfront Development reclaims the banks of the Sabarmati, making the entire stretch of river publicly accessible. The project provides more than ten kilometers of uninterrupted pedestrian promenade on each bank and public ghats for direct access to the water.
The Sabarmati Riverfront Project will enhance the distinctive character of Ahmedabad, significantly improving the quality of life for residents and enhancing Ahmedabad’s value as a destination for new employers, institutions, investment, education opportunities, and tourism.
The riverfront project creates intrinsic value for all residents of Ahmedabad by making the banks of the Sabarmati free and accessible to the public. The river banks will evolve continually, adapting to the diverse interests of a rapidly transforming city.
