In classical differential geometry, development refers to the simple idea of rolling
one smooth surface over another in Euclidean space. For example, the tangent plane
to a surface (such as the sphere or the cylinder) at a point can be rolled around
the surface to obtain the tangent-plane at other points.

Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project
:-The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is an initiative by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to develop the Sabarmati riverfront in the city of Ahmedabad, India.In May 1997, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation established the Sabarmati River Front Development Corporation Limited (SRFDCL) under Section 149 (3) of the Companies Act 1956.

Project is undertaken with a prime objective of environmental improvement and provision of housing for the poor who living in life threatening conditions along river bed. The project has been planned as a self-financing project. The revenues would be generated from the sale of proclaimed land. Rs. 1,200 crore (US$ 278.51 million) project includes Walkway development, Road development along River, Promenades, Garden, Construction of 4000 houses under slum rehabilitation, Amusement Park, Golf Course, Water Sports park and Construction of Kotarpur Weir.

At present the riverfront lies neglected and characterized by unimaginative and unplanned development. It’s potential to provide city level social infrastructure and recreation facilities lie untapped. Though it is a major source of water for the city and despite the building of a major barrage to retain water, except for a few months during the monsoon the river is dry. |

Sewage contaminated storm water out-falls and the dumping of industrial waste pose a major health and environmental hazard. Though the riverbanks and bed provide a place to stay and source of livelihood for many poor citizens, the riverbank slums are disastrously flood prone and lack basic infrastructure services. The slums located along the riverbed also pose a major impediment to efficient management of monsoon floods in the river.

It has long been acknowledged that appropriate development of the riverfront can turn the river into a major asset, which can improve the quality of environment and life in Ahmedabad and improve the efficiency of its infrastructure. In May 1997, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation established the Sabarmati River Front Development Corporation Limited (SRFDCL) under Section 149 (3) of the Companies Act 1956. The SRFDCL was provided with seed capital of Rs. one crore and charged with the responsibility of developing the Sabarmati Riverfront. In August 1997, the SRFDCL appointed Environmental Planning Collaborative (EPC) a city based not for profit urban planning and urban development management consulting firm to prepare a comprehensive proposal for the development of the Sabarmati Riverfront.

Drawing illustrates the proposed road network. A 6 lane wide road, the 'East River
Drive', is proposed along the east bank and a 4 lane wide road, the 'West River
Drive', is proposed along the west bank. In addition to these two major arterial
roads, it is proposed to widen and upgrade roads providing access to the reclaimed
area, to establish new access roads and to improve/rationalize key road junctions.
All of the foregoing will not only serve the proposed new developments along the
river and dissipate the traffic that they will generate but also contribute to the
strengthening of the transportation network of the city and to alleviating the traffic
problem.
