Surat 2047: An Eco-sensitive & Resilient city

Surat, a fast-growing industrial city known for its diamond, textile, and petrochemical sectors, is expanding rapidly, especially along its eastern corridors. This economic growth, while promising, has led to environmental concerns and declining livability. The proposed Development Plan envisions Surat as a climate-resilient, livable city with a strong economic foundation supported by robust infrastructure. It emphasizes sustainable growth through a balanced approach, encouraging liberal, mixed-use zoning for market-driven development while applying necessary regulations in sensitive zones. The plan promotes inclusive, adaptable urban development, with minimal state intervention focused on mitigating negative externalities and ensuring long-term environmental and social resilience.
