An infrastructure deficit should never destroy a life.
POLICY FOR PROGRESS | EPISODE 01
A Diwali cracker incident in front of my home made me think about a much larger issue.
How many families in our cities are living in residential areas without adequate fire safety, proper access roads, drainage and basic urban infrastructure?
Ahmedabad’s ageing residential buildings present us with two challenges: urban safety and an opportunity for economic transformation.
Systematic redevelopment can create safer homes, modern infrastructure, employment opportunities and investment across multiple industries.
My suggestion to the Gujarat Government is simple:
We need a comprehensive Gujarat Urban Redevelopment Mission with:
* A digital survey of ageing and unsafe buildings.
* Better fire safety and civic infrastructure.
* Single-window redevelopment approvals.
* Transparent developer selection.
* Strong protection of residents’ rights.
Let’s learn from integrated redevelopment initiatives like Dharavi, while developing a model suited to Gujarat’s own urban realities.
If your society or locality needs redevelopment, comment with its name and area.
Share this reel. Tag your MLA, AMC and Gujarat Government. Let’s make this a serious public policy discussion.
Because no family should have to suffer because of an infrastructure deficit.
