Kotarpur: The Pathway to Urban development.

Kotarpur, on Ahmedabad's northern edge, is a rapidly growing urban area, primarily residential with limited commercial and public spaces. Significant development followed its inclusion in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's extended boundaries. New residential and mixed-use buildings highlight the rising demand for housing, while infrastructure projects like water treatment expansions aim to support the increasing population. Despite this growth, commercial development and public spaces remain underdeveloped, giving Kotarpur a suburban feel compared to central Ahmedabad. For Kotarpur to evolve into a well-rounded urban neighborhood, future planning must prioritize commercial amenities, better connectivity, and community-focused public spaces.
