Saraspur: Urban Resilience and Transformation

Saraspur, nestled to the east of Ahmedabad's walled city and adjacent to the railway station, is a dynamic urban enclave undergoing notable transformations. Boasting excellent connectivity through the BRTS route along Rakhial Road, Saraspur has become a hub of commercial activities. As this locale evolves, the introduction of a new metro station promises enhanced citywide connectivity. Amidst this urban metamorphosis, the residents' choices and constraints in jobs, housing, and transportation are intricately woven into the fabric of affordability, income dynamics, and educational considerations. Saraspur's landscape tells a tale of historical evolution, from its roots as a village to an industrial center and now a mixed-use urban area. As we delve into Saraspur's narrative, the interplay of socio-economic factors emerges as a defining aspect, shaping the aspirations and limitations of its vibrant community.
