Ahmedabad - Megacity with Mega problems


Ahmedabad is the unofficial capital of Gujarat.

The city doesnt specialize into anything to have its own identity like Bangalore is for IT, Surat is for Diamonds.

Ahmedabad has grown a lot in terms of size of the city and population as well.The city has got a lot of market space.Ahmedabad is basically a city for the businessmen.

Ahmedabad houses the top educational institutes of the country.

IIM,
NID,
CEPT,
DA-IICT,
MICA,
NIRMA,
EDI,
PRL ... and many more.

The major problem with Ahmedabad was its people. Probably the worst civic sense even by Indian standards.

The entire city is highly money-minded.They can do anything and everything to earn money.This is the typical mentality of common man in Ahmedabad.

The city is user-friendly.And yes its safe as well compared to other Indian cities.

Till 2006, Ahmedabad was not having good Infrastructure.Airport lacked facilities, Roads were not upto the mark, No flyovers, No good transportation facility as well.

But suddenly in the year 2007, Ahmedabad started to change.

But still what makes a city lively is its people, which would take decades to change.
