Ahmedabad: Liverpool in England, once a ‘Mercantile Maritime City,’ was awarded the status of the World Heritage City by UNESCO in 2004.
In 2012, the city was warned that the status could be revoked, and in 2021, the city’s large infrastructure project was status As revoked.
Ahmedabad boasted himself exactly four years ago when it was awarded the first UNESCO World Heritage City Heritage Tag in July 2017.
Four years, with a maturing inspection, city authorities still running around to place documents.
Sources were highly placed to Ti that the last meeting of City Heritage cells and AMC top officials with representatives from the National Urban Institute based in Delhi (Niua) was a storm, with AMC officials not happy with the form of development plans.
“The agency is still joining until the end of the year, but the authorities explain that work so far is not as expected, and they must attract their socks.
The agency is entrusted by preparing a detailed conservation and heritage management plan.
The plan will decide whether the status is maintained or lost, “Said a senior official favorable development.
“In all practicality, AMC has decided to build its own capacity to carry out this work.” Senior officials remain silent on this problem, saying this problem is ongoing and will not be right to comment.
The legacy experts say that if the city fails to meet the requirements, it can be included in the ‘Red Category’ of UNESCO, which shows ‘inheritance at risk.’ This can have long-term implications not only for the city, but also for the country.
Shikha Jain, a conservation architect who was in several national and international boards for heritage, said Ahmedabad and Jaipur were on the same ship.
“There was fear when the status was given, given the unique challenges to Indian cities.
But cities convince the committee that they will work to express problems.
The required documentation functions as a roadmap,” he said.
“For Ahmedabad, I believe people’s participation is a key aspect.”
