Understanding the city studio - Naranpura, Ahmedabad

Naranpura is located in the North-western part of Ahmedabad and is well connected through the Sola Road which starts at AEC Char Rasta and is connected to Sattadhar Cross Road. With the coming up of BRTS in 2014 the area is well connected, and demand of this neighbourhood is rising. Naranpura is a part of Town Planning scheme 29. It falls under the green belt that was proposed in the development plan of 1965 as the city was expanding south and east. In 1980 Gujarat Housing board came up with a housing scheme and thus developed into a residential neighbourhood over the areas of Paras Nagar, Memnagar, Parul Nagar and Ghatlodiya. Rapid transformation along the Sola Road over the years with mixed use high rises and reduction of green belt.
