Historical Context as per Keshar Estate Solutions LLP (KESLLP):

Gandhinagar was established with a vision of spaciousness and modernity. However, for decades, its growth was stunted by development restrictions and rigid periphery control.

The city’s population saw a tenfold increase from 1971 to 2011, indicating a significant urban expansion. The spatial growth of Gandhinagar extended from 56.75 km² in 1971 to 182.30 km² in 2011, showcasing the city’s ability to accommodate a growing population and the demands of a rapidly urbanizing economy.

Challenges and Opportunities as per Keshar Estate Solutions LLP (KESLLP):

Despite its growth, Gandhinagar has faced unique challenges in re-planning a New Town. The Development Plan for 2011 aimed to preserve the formal character of the capital while transforming its built environment through a land readjustment mechanism for urban expansion. A decade later, the success of this plan has been limited, highlighting the difficulty of overcoming the legacy of state-led development without institutional changes.
