GANDHINAGAR LOCATED 23KM NORTH OF AHEMDABAD PLANNED IN 1960S BY PRAKASH.M.AAMTE AND H.K.MEVADE Gandhinagar district, established in 1964, is located in central Gujarat with its headquarters in Gandhinagar, the state capital. The city is strategically positioned on the Ahmedabad-Vadodara highway and serves as the commercial hub of Gujarat and western India. It is also being developed as an infocity .

Each sector has a primary school, a secondary school, a higher secondary school, a medical dispensary, a shopping centre and a maintenance office. Gandhinagar is developed on the neighborhood concept. STREETS Gandhinagar's streets are numbered ( eg. road no. 1, road no. 2 up to road no. 7) Cross streets named for letters of the Gujarati alphabet (e.g.. "k", " kh ", "g". " gh ", " ch ", " chh ", "J") All streets are aligned at 30 deg. n-w and 60 deg. n-e, to avoid direct glare of morning and evening sun while driving The Gujarat assembly building is in the centre of the city to make it close to all the residents SECTOR PLAN OF GANDHINAGAR

5. PLANNING Planned as the administrative capital of the state, the current and future population employed in state government offices was distributed in 30 residential sectors around the State Assembly-Secretariat complex. Each residential sector could accommodate about 50% of population, and was intended to house the half of the population employed by the government . Plots on the periphery of each sector are meant for private and supporting population that constitutes the remaining 50%.. The city was planned for a population of 150,000 but can accommodate double that population with increase in the floor space ratio from I to 2 in the areas reserved fo rprivate development. . The river being the border on the east, and the industrial area to the North, the mostlogical future physical expansion of the city was envisaged towards the north-west.

6. To establish and maintain a separate identity for the new city, the surrounding area of about 39 villages was brought under a Periphery Control Act (as in Chandigarh) that permitted new development of farm houses only. The area later constituted a separate administrative district of Gandhinagar. The city was planned for a population of 150,000 but can accommodate double that population with increase in the floor space ratio from 1 to 2 in the areas reserved for private development. The river being the border on the east, and the industrial area to the North, the most logical future physical expansion of the city was envisaged towards the north- west Due to a constant military confrontation with Pakistan, whose borders are close from the city, a large military presence was required here. The land acquired on the eastern bank, adjacent to National Highway no.8, was therefore allotted to the Border Security force and military cantonment.  Considering the mostly south- west to north-east wind direction, the land to the north of the city was allotted for the then biggest thermal power station and the adjacent areas were zoned for industrial use. This area was distanced from the township by a 2000 ft. wide green strip of thick vegetatio n

12. Comparison between the original and the new plan Consciously designed and planned axially based on egalitarian and Gandhian ethos .The re-planning of Gandhinagar by the Consultants of Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority(GUDA) has obliterated its identity as a capital city . Unbridled capitalism has led to its debasement and inorganic extension resulting in Gandhinagar becoming just another suburb of Ahmedabad.

13. The consultants recently appointed by GUDA have ignored that history and want the expansion of the city to take place to the south.. A southward expansion proposed by the consultants will merge it with Ahmedabad and finally become its suburb, destroying its separate identity. This extension to the south has completely destroyed the plan's most important concept, the central vista (Road no.4). It focuses on the capitol complex, and was naturally to be extended to the north-west maintaining the axis, expanding the city physically in that direction . . Over 6000 acres of green cover to the south west of the city has been design for residential use in an attempt to join with the city of Ahmedabad. All this land, when developed can accommodate a population of over 600,000. The consultants thus seek to destroy the identity of the new capital city and make it a suburb of Ahmedabad.. The " Gamthan " (built up land in a village)areas of 7 villages just abutting the city limits of Gandhinagar are increased arbitrarıly (much beyond their natural growth requirements) to allow private residential development.
