Urban Transformation of Vastral

Vastral is a rapidly urbanizing neighbourhood in eastern Ahmedabad, characterized by a mix of informal settlements and organized residential blocks. The area faces congestion and limited public spaces in dense, narrow streets. However, newer developments feature wider streets and more defined public spaces. The metro enhanced connectivity, reducing reliance on private vehicles and improving access to the city centre. Commercial activity is concentrated along major roads like the Vastral Ring Road, while residential areas are quieter. Natural features like Vastral Lake offer community spaces, contributing to the area's quality of life and accessibility.
