Paldi Extension, a serene haven by the Sabarmati riverfront, faces transformative changes with increased Floor Space Index (FSI) and the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS). These developments promise modern infrastructure and vibrancy but risk overcrowding and loss of green spaces, a hallmark of the area’s charm. With open spaces far exceeding urban norms, sustainable development is key to preserving livability. Careful planning should prioritize maintaining tranquility, enhancing infrastructure, and fostering community-centric growth. Paldi Extension has the potential to model balanced urbanization, blending vibrancy and peacefulness, but only through mindful, sustainable approaches that protect its unique character.
