Naroda, Bridging infrastructure gaps for a safer future

Naroda, a rapidly urbanizing hub in northeast Ahmedabad, embodies a blend of traditional Gamtal housing and modern residential developments. Known for its strategic location along major routes like SP Ring Road and Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway, it serves as a well-connected suburban node with growing residential, commercial, and industrial activities. However, infrastructure challenges such as poor walkability, traffic congestion, and inadequate drainage systems impact daily life. With its vibrant markets and evolving built forms, Naroda showcases the complexities of urban growth, balancing its historical roots with modern development demands. The precinct holds immense potential for sustainable transformation and better quality of life.
