Sardar Patel’s Enduring Legacy in Urban Governance

Mr. Patel recalled the early political career of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who served as the president of the Ahmedabad Municipality from 1924 to 1928. This foundational experience shaped Patel’s lifelong commitment to effective urban governance, which today continues to inspire modern urban policies.

“Sardar Patel laid the groundwork for strong municipal leadership. Today, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has revitalized that legacy with ambitious urban reforms and infrastructure projects across India,” Mr. Patel stated.

Prime Minister Modi’s Urban Revolution: A National Priority

The Chief Minister highlighted key urban initiatives under PM Modi’s leadership, such as the Smart Cities Mission, AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation), and the Housing for All campaign, which have collectively transformed the urban landscape by improving infrastructure, sanitation, affordable housing, and digital governance.

Mr. Patel urged all municipal leaders attending the conclave to learn from these successes and implement similar reforms at local levels to create inclusive, sustainable, and smart urban environments.

National Urban Conclave: A Platform for Collaborative Urban Governance

The event serves as a vital forum where urban policymakers, mayors, and administrators discuss challenges and opportunities related to urbanization in India. Topics such as sustainable city planning, public transport integration, and climate-resilient infrastructure were focal points of discussion.

Mr. Patel underscored the importance of collaboration between the central government, state governments, and local bodies in achieving the vision of modern, citizen-centric urban centers.

Gujarat’s Model Urban Development as a National Benchmark

Gujarat continues to set exemplary standards in urban development with flagship projects in cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara. The Chief Minister cited Gujarat’s initiatives in smart traffic management, waste-to-energy conversion, and digital urban governance as models for other states.

He concluded by calling upon the urban leadership to carry forward the spirit of Sardar Patel by fostering unity and efficiency in urban governance, further propelling India’s urban transformation journey.
