The plan situates the enclave along the Sabarmati River beside the 132,000-seat Narendra Modi Stadium and organizes major sporting venues, public spaces and landscaped boulevards into a unified urban framework. Facilities within the precinct include an international-standard Tennis Centre with multiple courts, an 18,000-seat indoor arena, an [Aquatic Centre with scalable capacity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100meter-outdoor-pool) and a [National Institute of Sports Excellence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-cricket-league), addressing both elite competition and community use. The masterplan integrates plazas, gardens, pedestrian boulevards and civic spaces such as a central games plaza along the riverfront, designed to host gatherings and social activities year-round. Climate responsiveness and environmental considerations, such as passive ventilation and shade strategies, are embedded in the spatial layout to enhance comfort in the region’s warm climate.
