Pune Riverfront vs Sabarmati Riverfront | A Tale of Two Cities’ Urban Development ????
In this video, we explore a ground-level comparison between Pune Riverfront Development (RFD) and Sabarmati Riverfront Development in Ahmedabad.
While Sabarmati Riverfront has become a national benchmark in urban planning—with clean river water, well-maintained roads running parallel to the river, and vibrant public spaces—Pune’s RFD is still struggling with basic execution challenges. Poor water quality, lack of adjoining road infrastructure, and slow development progress raise serious concerns about its long-term impact.
Interestingly, Sabarmati’s transformation was made possible by bringing clean water from the Narmada Canal, creating an urban oasis in the heart of Ahmedabad. In contrast, Pune’s rivers remain polluted, and the RFD seems to be missing the larger vision of holistic river rejuvenation.
In this video, we cover:
• Planning and execution differences between Pune RFD and Sabarmati RFD • Importance of road infrastructure along riverfronts • Water quality and river cleanliness comparison • Lessons Pune can learn from Ahmedabad’s model
