The lights are in the centre of the road to convenience motorised vehicle users. Hence, the footpaths do not have lights in case there are footpaths. On most sections of the road, there are no footpaths. Thus, those walking are inconvenienced. In the night, the road sides or the footpaths do not have light and hence become very unsafe anyway those walking and cycling are as well as not safe due to heavy motorised vehicle traffic and now with the new cars the walking and cycling have become more unsafe. The gated complexes look inwards many of them are vacant, as many of the buyers of such real-estate developments are the investors. Gift City Latest Update the density further remains low. Almost, 50 per cent of the units are vacant. Such low densities do not support informal trade in the locality, neither in the form of small shops nor vendors. Hence, there are no eyes on the street for people to feel safe. This further pushes the residents to take motorised vehicles.

A vicious cycle of insecurity sets in. Urban sprawl, with low density, creates large tracts of areas as well as road segments that are desolate. Walking or cycling feels unsafe. One may therefore not venture out unless in a company a single woman does not venture out on her own. If one has personal motorised vehicle, there is a fear lurking at the back of mind of possibilities in case of vehicle break-down. There is no public transport available at all times, as public transport frequency is very low in general and particularly in the Gift City News evening and night. Is it not the problem faced by Nirbhaya in Delhi on 16 December 2012, resulting in the episode that shook the country? The auto rickshaws are as well as not available as low density development does not make them ply all the time. The Nirbhaya incident is waiting to happen in all the cities across India, especially in the peri-urban areas, which have developed due to urban sprawl. Let me describe the process through which Shilaj or any such peri-urban village experiences development and the type of urban form that is created. As mentioned, Shilaj is 8 km away from the previous boundary of the main city of Ahmedabad.

That previous boundary was Sarkhej-Gandhinagar SG highway. Shilaj is now on the external ring road, which is called SP ring road. SG highway is as well as a ring road. Between the two ring roads are sporadic developments, with large parts that are unfilled and hence desolate. Because of posh real-estate developments in nodes such as Shilaj, the prices of the lands in-between are very high. Low income housing, including, what is now called affordable housing is not possible. If there are no low-income housing settlements, the density is always going to remain low and there are not going to be any street activities. Those living in the gated enclaves do not have much of linkage with the locality they live in. They are not much connected to the street activities, which therefore do not develop. The low income workers who come to these houses come from far. The desolate areas then get converted into ‘dens’ of illegal activities. In case of Ahmadabad, these become dens of alcohol drinking, which is prohibited in the state and hence is an illegal activity.
