Another notable project that is currently being undertaken is the Pune riverfront development project. The rivers Mula and Mutha both originating from the Sahyadri ranges, traverse through the city till they finally meet at the Mula-Mutha River. Due to factors such as heavy urbanization, lack of access, and poor connectivity of the banks, the project attempts to integrate the river in the life of the city, create a public realm among the city, enhance connectivity, and reduce the impact of man-made obstructions to the threat of flood. The plans include building and integration of existing open spaces such as a network of gardens, public promenades, heritage structures that will preserve the natural environment.
