Buoyed by the unprecedented success of the first phase, Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Riverfront project aimed at changing the city's landscape with potential to catalyse economic growth, the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation has decided to build 180 high rise structures for which a provision of ₹850 crore has already been made by the state government, informed the chairman of the corporation, Keshav Verma. The project includes an extension of the riverfront's length by 5 km on each side. By channeling the river to a constant width of 263 m under Phase 1, the riverbed land has been reclaimed to create 11.25 km of a public riverfront on both the banks; 202.79 hectares of land has been reclaimed so far. The move by the corporation is aimed at creating a compact city with walk-to-work being a key issue and has proposed creating a hub of art, culture and recreation. A sprawling commercial complex, a social infrastructure ecosystem including water sports facilities, a convention centre, a museum of life, a Sabarmati Birders Club, and water taxis will dot the landscape, said Verma.
