Ecologically Integrated Civic Sea-Front Destination to Enhance Socially Vibrant City
Envisioned as a recreational civic space for the city by the Surat
Municipal Corporation, the city’s popular Dumas beach where the Tapi
River meets the Arabian Sea was sought to be accordingly developed.
The INI team, after thoroughly surveying and analysing the existing
situation on and around Dumas beach, worked out a four pronged
proposal to develop it as a recreation and leisure destination for citizens
as well as tourists. Replete with multifarious recreational opportunities,
this beach development aimed to rejuvenate the beach, realign the city
towards a sustainable development course and re-connect the citizens
with their natural heritage over land and sea.
