AHMEDABAD: After two decades, street designs in upcoming town planning maps for Ahmedabad will be more inclusive. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) have each included thin strips of space beside roads in commercial areas or roads space opposite garden and parks and similar locations, to be earmarked for vending spaces. These spaces have been marked in three new town planning (TP) schemes for Ahmedabad and two TP schemes of AUDA.
A senior AMC official told TOI that all TP maps have a provision for 0.5% of space to be reserved for street vending, but these were haphazardly put in square plot forms, which are of no use for vendors and become prone to encroachments.

Before arriving at the street vending road space design, AMC studied close to 165 vending locations in the city to arrive at a formula. Some of the locations studied are Parasnagar, Jamalpur, Khodiyarnagar, Nehrunagar, Vastrapur, Geeta Mandir , Vejalpur , Nehrunagar, Cept University and Kankaria lake among others.
