Understanding the City - Motera

Motera, a distinctive urban precinct on Ahmedabad's northern periphery, showcases a striking contrast between modern built typologies, ranging from low-rise structures to high-rise buildings, and diverse livelihoods that coexist and influence each other. Despite facing challenges like incomplete and discontinuous paths, lack of safety and pedestrian infrastructure, and limited land use diversity, which makes it a residential-centric zone, there is significant room for redevelopment. The presence of the Narendra Modi station is likely to boost property prices and development in the future, and the surrounding land is already more developed.
