A Unique Identity

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.

Whether in Varanasi, Patna, Melbourne, or Paris, accessible rivers define local culture. Around the world, major cities have created significant public value by developing waterfronts for leisure, recreation, and as gathering spaces that drastically improve the quality of life for citizens. The Sabarmati Riverfront Development project brings together global wisdom and best practices to revive the river as a public sanctuary for the people of Ahmedabad.

The Riverfront Development project establishes a new paradigm for central neighborhoods. The project links river-facing precincts with significantly upgraded public facilities, enhanced public and water transport options, vast recreation and park spaces, and new economic opportunities.

In addition to establishing a distinctive central landscape, the public spaces developed by the project enable both sides of Ahmedabad to come together in leisure, turning the Sabarmati from a geographical divider into a binding presence in the city.

Salient Features: 

The Riverfront upgrades 18 precincts located adjacent to the riverfront land, revitalising the heart of Ahmedabad and leading the city's future growth.

The project creates a thriving and active centre for Ahmedabad to give the city a new identity.

In addition to large parks and gardens freely open to the public, the project will encourage leisure activities and events on the Riverfront, enhancing Ahmedabad's status as a destination with a high quality of life.
