Abstract
Rivers play a vital role in enhancing the identity of any city. Similarly, Mula, Mutha, and Mula-Mutha rivers are the identity of Pune city. When we look at the rivers of Pune closely, we will find the horrendous scenario. The major issues with the rivers of Pune are river flooding, river pollution, partial dry riverbeds, underutilized riverbanks, slum encroachment, and inaccessibility. These rivers are in a vulnerable state due to rapid urban growth. The unplanned growth of Pune city has degraded the quality of its river. The overall perspective towards the river has changed and the city is showing its back to its rivers. These kinds of scenarios have raised challenges for Pune city which is affecting the lives of its citizens. Therefore, we should investigate these issues closely and come up with the best possible compatible solutions for retaining the identity of the city and enhancing the quality of life. The riverfront development along these rivers can overcome these issues and integrates socio-cultural, economic, and environmental activities which are existing along the rivers of Pune.
