Intentional Unsustainability in Waterfront Regeneration: A Case Study of Sabarmati Riverfront Ahmedabad
Abstract: Indian urban riverfronts have largely been neglected and have lost both on ecological and urban aspects. Large tracts of riverfront lands are often encroached, both illegally and quasi-legally, and essential flood plains have been destroyed. Against this background, the development of the Sabarmati riverfront was an opportunity to reenergize Ahmedabad and unfortunately became a pilot project for other cities. The project reclaims about 200 hectares of land and creates around …
