Description
Description | The River Front Development (RFD) project aims to reshape a 44 kilometer stretch of Pune's rivers, including the Mula and Mutha rivers, to prevent floods, rejuvenate rivers, and reconnect people with them. The initial phase prioritizes a 3.7 kilometer stretch between Sangamwadi and Bund Garden, with a 1.5 kilometer Sangamwadi stretch opened to the public. Expansion plans include a 5.5 kilometer stretch from Bund Garden to Mundhwa and an 8.1 kilometer stretch between Aundh and Balewadi. The project includes civic amenities such as theme parks along the riverfront. However, the project has faced criticism for ecological damage, heavy concretisation, and loss of natural habitats. Work has been temporarily halted for redesign and ecological considerations. |
