Abstract This paper profiles Ahmedabad, the seventh largest metropolis in India and the largest city of Gujarat State, to develop a background understanding of the city for the research project “Poverty, Inequality and Violence in Indian Cities: Towards Inclusive Planning and Policies.” The paper comprises of two parts. Part I lays out the relevant urban context by discussing the city’s demography; transformations since liberalization and their impacts for urban poverty and inequality; the historical growth of the city and the resulting spatial segmentation; the status of housing amongst the urban poor and low-income groups; and the urban development paradigm in terms of planning, housing, basic services, street vending and public transport. Part II identifies and discusses some of the key arenas of conflicts and violence that are linked to land, planning and governance regimes in the city, namely, slum resettlement, informal urban peripheral settlements, and women’s safety and public transport. These arenas of conflict and violence will be the focus areas for the research project. i Acknowledgments This City Profile of Ahmedabad has been prepared under the research project “Poverty, Inequality and Violence in Indian Cities: Towards Inclusive Planning and Policies.” This work was carried out with financial support from the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.

As a result, a large proportion of the urban population is constrained to live in slums or informal settlements, depend on the informal sector for their livelihood, access water supply, education and healthcare in the private informal sector and use informal transport options. Parallel to this, over the past decade or two, governments and elites have been pushing for urban development that would transform Indian cities according to their images of a world-class or global city (see, for e.g. Dupont 2011; Desai 2012a; Mahadevia 2011a). This has resulted in urban exclusions through land-use planning, inequitable land allocations, increasing commercialization of land, implementation of infrastructure and beautification projects, privatization of urban services, criminalization of the informalities of the poor, and urban governance processes in which only the influential and organized sections have a voice (see, for e.g. Benjamin 2008; Mahadevia and Narayanan 2008; Anjaria 2009; Bhan 2009; Graham et al 2013; Kundu 2009). Researchers have also claimed that the urban elites are capturing urban resources, land, finance and water, through various means, forcing the poor to depend on and contest over available resources, for which they pay high economic and social costs. One of the costs that the poor pay are facing and negotiating conflicts in their daily life over survival. These forces of neo-liberal globalization are leading to evictions of poor and marginalised groups from their informal habitats and livelihoods, withdrawal of state actors from the delivery of urban services with this space being filled up by non-state actors (some call this as the emergence of a proto state) creating “ungoverned territories” and increasing segmentation on account of speculative land markets overlaid on the base of caste- and religious segmentation. As a result, the poor and marginalised face more violence than before from state and non-state actors in the places where they live and work. They respond through coping strategies, non-violent mobilizations in some instances, and counter-violence in other instances. Many Indian cities have also become more segmented along

  • ENGLISH NEWSPAPER-AHMEDABAD) Dt: 15/09/2003
    THE TIMES OF INDIA (ENGLISH NEWSPAPER-AHMEDABAD) Dt: 15/09/2003. 240 Pota cases, all against minorities By Leena Misra Times News Network Ahmedabad: Chand Usman Khan who was brought here from Jammu and Kashmir on Friday will be the latest accused to be added to the Pota inventory of the Narendra Modi government which already figures heavy-weights from the underworld like Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel and Sharif Khan. Although Gujarat still faces some competition when compared to the huge list of accused booked under Pota in states like Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu, it might perhaps be the only state where all the 240-odd persons booked under Pota are from the minority community. The only non-Muslim in the list is a Sikh, Liversingh Tej Singh, Liversingh Tej Singh Sikligar, who figured in it for an attempt on the life of Surat lawyer Hasmukh Lalwala, and allegedly hung himself in a police lock-up in Surat in April. Pota has been invoked in 11 cases in the state including, the Godhra carnage, the Akshardham massacre and the Haren Pandya murder which was investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Among the 241 booked under the terror law, are some 20-odd accused booked under this law in three cases - the overarching conspiracy case booked by Ahmedabad’s detection of crime branch and the Haren Pandya and the Jagdish Tiwari case which were chargesheeted together. But some top police officers and human rights activists felt that Pota was being used indiscriminately, the biggest irony being that till date the Anti-Terrorist Squad has not booked a single case of Pota.

  • Beatrice Catanzaro Documentation MAMMALITURCHI Temporary Public Installation Wood Structure + 431 Lights
    Beatrice Catanzaro documentation MAMMALITURCHI Temporary public installation wood structure + 431 lights A 10 meters illuminated sign placed under two trees on the most pop- ular beach in Porto Cesario (Puglia), saying PUNKABBESTIA. Porto Cesario - Italy 2007 Porto Cesario is a small community of 5000 inhabitants during winter season (that reaches picks of 100.000 in summer), due to it size, relations among citizen of Porto Cesario are very close. On the contrary, the “foreign” (“what comes from outside”) is often seen with a certain degree of suspect. With the installation I intended to comment on the seasonal fear of hippies (punkab- bestia) free camping on the southern cost of Italy and on the mystification of this phenomenon by local media. PUNKABBESTIA / from Wikipedia Punkabbestia is a slangy term used for identifying a type of vaga- bond and met-ropolitan homeless.Etymology The word seems to derive from the union of the words punk (subculture with which the punkabbestia have in common nu-merous nihilistic attitudes as the abuse of alcohol or other drugs, but not neces-sarily the musical references or the look) and beast (because of the stray dogs with which they are accompanied and of the displayed lack of care and personal hy-giene).According to others the word punkabbes-tia would have been coined in the years ‘80 from the Tuscan punks. Initially such term pointed out the punks that brought their ideological choice to the extreme, both politically and aesthetically, refusing in the whole in force society.Sociologi- cal description Punkabbestia is a term that has the ten-dency to be used for pointing out differ-ent types of social behaviours, also very distant between them: the term would treat therefore more an aesthetical pre-conception that a real category of people.

  • Disastrous Condition of the Sabarmati River
    PRESS RELEASE 27 March 2019 Disastrous Condition of the Sabarmati River - Release of report on joint investigations by Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti and Gujarat Pollution Control Board, of the pollution levels in the prime water source of Ahmedabad District. The Sabarmati River in the Ahmedabad City stretch, before the Riverfront, is dry and within the Riverfront Project stretch, is Brimming with Stagnant Water. In the last 120 kilometres, before meeting the Arabian Sea, it dead comprises of just industrial effluent and sewage. On 12 March 2019, the Regional Officers Mr Tushar Shah and Ms Nehalben Ajmera of Gujarat Pollution Control Board, Rohit Prajapati and Krishnakant of Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti, Social Activist Mudita Vidrohi of Ahmedabad, Subodh Parmar, Lawyer of Gujarat High Court, conducted a joint investigation. This was conducted in the context of implementation of the Order, dated 22.02.2017, of the Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 375 of 2012 (Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti & Anr V/s Union of India & Ors) about the status of industrial effluent and sewerage discharge into the Sabarmati River stretch of Ahmedabad District. The investigation reports are shocking and reveal the disastrous condition of Sabarmati River in and around Ahmedabad District and about 120 kilometres downstream. Sabarmati River no longer has any fresh water when it enters the city of Ahmedabad. The Sabarmati Riverfront has merely become a pool of polluted stagnant water while the river, downstream of the riverfront, has been reduced to a channel carrying effluents from industries from Naroda, Odhav Vatva, Narol and sewerage from Ahmedabad city. The drought like condition of the Sabarmati River intensified by the Riverfront Development has resulted in poor groundwater recharge and increased dependency on the already ailing Narmada River.

  • INTRODUCTION Water Is Super Abundant on the Planet As a Whole
    INTRODUCTION Water is super abundant on the planet as a whole, but fresh potable water is not always available for human or ecosystem use. The importance of water is underscored by the fact that many great civilizations in the past sprang up along or near water bodies and most developmental activities are still dependent upon them. The development of water resources has often been used as yardstick for socioeconomic and health status of many nations worldwide. However, pollution of water often been neglected the benefits obtained from the development of these water resources. Rivers have always been the most important fresh water resources; river water finds multiple uses in every sector of development like agriculture, industry, transportation, aquaculture, public water supply etc. but surface waters are most exposable to pollution due to their accessibility for disposal of wastewaters. Huge loads of waste from industries, domestic sewage & agricultural practices find their way into rivers, resulting in large scale deterioration of the water quality. The Sabarmati River arises in the Aravalli Hills, which roughly mark the Western boundary of Udaipur District, i.e. Mount Abu area, and flows in a South-Westerly direction. It is approximately 371 km in length. The main tributaries of the Sabarmati River are Wakal, the Harnay, the Hathimati, the Vatrak, the Meshwa & the Sei Nadi, which also flow South- Westwards in courses generally parallel to the Sabarmati River, up to their confluence with the river (in Gujarat). And finally it empties in the Gulf of Cambay of Arabian Sea. The Sabarmati River Basin is situated in the mid-Sothern part of Rajasthan, between latitudes 23025’ & 24055’ and longitudes 73000’ & 73048’.

  • Ecological Investigations of Shahwadi Wetland Nainesh R
    Explorer Research Article [Modi et al. , 4(12): Dec., 2013] CODEN (USA): IJPLCP ISSN: 0976-7126 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACY & LIFE SCIENCES Ecological investigations of Shahwadi Wetland Nainesh R. Modi 1*, Nilesh R. Mulia 1 and Sumesh N. Dudani 2 1, Department of Botany, M. G. Science Institute, Ahmedabad, (Gujarat) - India 2, Deparment of Botany, Yuvaraja’s College, University of Mysore, Mysore - India Abstract The wetlands form important repositories of aquatic biodiversity. The diverse ecoclimatic regimes extant in the country resulted in a variety of wetland systems ranging from high altitude cold desert wetlands to hot and humid wetlands in coastal zones with its diverse flora and fauna. There are many important lakes and wetlands in Ahmedabad including Kankaria lake and Vastrapur Lake. The Nalsarovar wetland and Thol lake in the outskirts of Ahmedabad city are very important spots for migratory birds coming from different parts of the world and hence, attracts large number of tourists. However, many small and big wetlands are also present in and around the city which has not received due attention and hence, have suffered badly in the increased age of industrialization and urbanization.
