CASE STUDY: AHMEDABAD’S DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2021
Regional Settings: Ahmedabad is situated in west-central India and
is the capital city of Gujarat and seventh largest metropolis in the
country.
It is flat plain along both banks of the Sabarmati River and this
sitting along the agricultural catchment led the earlier primate city
to expand uninhibited with a polycentric urban growth pattern.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The prime mission of the
authority is to transform
outskirt of Ahmedabad into
a city where all citizens have
access to basic services and
all development take place
in a planned manner,
supporting rapid, self-
financed and sustainable
economic growth.
Key Features Ahmedabad
Development Plan:
➢ Equitable Development
➢ Transit oriented
development
➢ Use of Smart Technology
under the Smart City
Mission
➢ Micro tunnelling Method -
AMRUT Scheme
➢ Compact City
➢ Environment Sustainability
➢ Green Network
➢ Affordable Housing
➢ Allow for natural growth
around villages while
preserving prime Fig :1.3 Proposed development plan 2021

Concept of Equitable Development
➢ Equitable development meets the needs of overburdened communities and individuals through projects, programs,
and/or policies that reduce poverty, low wealth, health and other disparities while fostering places that are healthy,
vibrant, and diverse.
➢ For achieving an equitable and sustainable development Ahmedabad Development Plan was integrated with the Town
Planning Scheme.
Procedure for Integrating Town Planning Scheme
Managing Urban Expansion
1. Draft Stage 2. Preliminary Stage 3. Final Stage
AUDA by far has prepared 247 Town Planning Schemes which constitutes an Able to obtain land for public
purposes
area of 392.80 Sq. Km.
Produces more equitable
outcomes.

Expansion of well-planned road

network.

Increased street density in the city

Benefits of TP scheme Integration

Micro-tunnelling methods used in sewerage project- AMRUT Scheme
➢ AMC is among the first municipal corporations in the country to adopt
micro tunnelling technology to install underground drainage lines.
➢ The advantage of using this technology in congested area, across the
highway and railway crossing is to eliminate disturbance to the existing
traffic and ensure low environmental impact.
Impact:
➢ With the implementation of these projects, waterlogging issues will be
eliminated substantially in the city as the pipelines being laid have the
capacity to evacuate 500 MLD of storm water. Fig 1.2: Micro tunnelling Method Source: Niti Aayog Report
➢ It is noted that waterlogging has been resolved to the extent of 90% in the city.
➢ Despite heavy rains, there was no waterlogging reported from the underpasses.
 Common Card Payment System:
• Utility Payments
• Municipal Payments for professional tax and property tax
• Recreational Services at Kankaria and Sabarmati Riverfront
• Transit Ticketing for BRTS and City Buses

Smart Transport System:

• Automated Fare Collection System(AFCS)
• GPS based Automatic Vehicle Locating System
• Depot Management System
• Incident Management System
• CCTV based Security and Surveillance System
• Control Centre and Call Centre operation
Ahmedabad • Parking Management System
as a • Web Portal for Passengers
• Mobile App for citizens
SMART CITY
Energy Efficient Programs:
• Focusing on renewable power generation like solar roof
top.
• It also uses wind energy for the generation of electricity
• Suggestions of energy efficient equipment and innovative
technology in public utilities.
• Energy Efficient LEDs to be used for street lighting
• Scrutiny and monitoring of energy bills and usage pattern.

Cycle by the River:

• To ensure healthy physical and mental life, MYBYK are provided for all age groups. It is
provided along the Sabarmati River Front.
MIYAWAKI FOREST METHOD
Miyawaki forest is a method of growing natural potent vegetation, native to the region as per bioclimatic conditions and
soils conditions.
Salient feature of Miyawaki plantation compared to conventional tree plantation are:
1. Grows ten times faster 4. Effuse 30 times more oxygen
2. 30 times denser 5. Retain more ground water
3. Absorb 30 times more Carbon 6. 100 % bio diverse (use 40-50
dioxide different species of native trees)
Under this initiative 85,000 number of trees have been planted by AUDA. Fig 1.3: Micro Forest at SOBO Garden

PRIME AGRICULTURAL ZONE

➢ In order to improve primary sector in AUDA area and to preserve fertile double
cropping land, zoning of appropriate agricultural land Prime Agriculture Zone
has been introduced through this development Plan
➢ Area of 569 sq.km.
➢ Further, to protect the prime agricultural land, necessary regulations have been
framed.
➢ Along with agricultural activities development of agro‐based industries,
processing units etc. is allowed in order to support activities like farming and
livestock as per the development regulations. Map 1.6: Prime Agricultural Zone

HEAT ACTION PLAN
Early warning system and preparedness plan for extreme heat events was introduced in 2015 as the Ahmedabad Heat
Action Plan.
It was the first Indian city to do so.
– Initiating an early warning system and inter-agency coordination to alert residents of predicted extreme temperatures
forecasted by the Indian Meteorological Department;
– Capacity building among healthcare professionals to recognize and respond to heat-related illnesses
– Reducing heat exposure and promoting adaptive measures by launching new efforts, including mapping high-risk
neighborhoods, increasing access to potable water and cooling spaces on hot days, and other methods.
 Transit Oriented Planning:
• Higher density development
• Pedestrian friendly streets and Green Network
• Higher transit connectivity & High intensity of
infrastructure
• BRTS Station Plaza
• Well designed and well managed public parking
Destination to city tourist places, Economic Centre,
Commercial hub and major transit route
