Great Public Spaces

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.

Land reclaimed by riverfront development will largely be allocated for free and open public use; more than 85% of riverfront land will become public infrastructure, recreational parks, sports facilities, and vast new gardens. 

Parts of these public areas will include new space for cultural and civic institutions: including museums, monuments, performance venues, and exhibition space to significantly enhance the availability of civic amenities. 

The Sabarmati Riverfront will also permanently upgrade iconic informal markets, create vibrant new spaces for residents and tourists to converge, attend outdoor events, participate in water-related recreation, and enjoy leisure activities.
