04 Mar 2024 CW Team

As the Heritage Transferable Development Rights (TDR) Scheme unfolds in Ahmedabad, residents find themselves caught in a precarious situation with the slow pace of progress. The scheme, designed to preserve the city's heritage while facilitating development, has encountered challenges, leaving many residents in homes that are gradually deteriorating.

The Heritage TDR Scheme's sluggish implementation raises concerns about the impact on the living conditions of affected individuals. As the city strives to balance preservation efforts with urban development, the plight of residents in crumbling homes underscores the importance of an efficient and considerate execution of such initiatives.

The predicament faced by these residents sheds light on the delicate balance required in urban planning, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to address the challenges arising from heritage-focused schemes. The delayed progress poses questions about the effectiveness of the current approach and the urgency of finding solutions that safeguard both heritage and the well-being of the city's inhabitants.

As Ahmedabad grapples with the complexities of urban development and heritage conservation, the situation calls for a reevaluation of strategies to ensure a more harmonious and timely implementation of schemes like the Heritage TDR, striking a balance between preserving the city's cultural legacy and safeguarding the living conditions of its residents.
