Kanpur Riverfront Development is spread over 1156 acres and is being developed as a mixed used development. Envisioned as an iconic city on the banks of Ganga, the master plan is a self sufficient sustainable city.

Ganga provides the most influential and dominant context for the master plan. The existing patterns of Ganga were studied and through digital simulation density patterns emulating the Ganga patterns were translated into the central green of the master plan. This central green area gives the master plan a distinct character and acts as breathing lungs for the city.

Auto expo is located at the heart of the master plan, sitting amidst the central green. It is located at a very important interface of the central green and the promenade. It's an amalgamation zone of various activities of the master plan cascading into each other thereby creating a functionally rich urban plaza.
