Ahmedabad to Lead 2030 Commonwealth Games with Accessibility, Sustainability
Ahmedabad, a city in India, will host the Commonwealth Games in 2030.
The city wants the games to be very friendly for athletes with disabilities, so all hotels will be accessible.
It also plans to use only electric buses and trains.
The city already has many sports facilities, so only a few upgrades are needed.
The games will help train young athletes and improve sports science for the future.
Ahmedabad will host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, the first time India hosts since 2010.
The city aims to be the most para‑athlete‑friendly Games, making all hotels accessible.
All local transport, including the BRT system, will be 100% electric by 2030.
Only about 20% of existing infrastructure needs refurbishment for the Games.
Investment in sports facilities will benefit future training and sports science.
