The entire perception of water in Indian philosophy is quite different. The structure of many cities in the world is linked to the water bodies that contribute to their beginning and succeeding development. Waterbodies in urban areas like creeks, ponds and wetlands are vital to the social and ecological health of cities. The revitalization and redevelopment of waterbodies require planners to adeptly respond to other cultural and economic issues at local, state and global scales. Creeks being an important part of natural drainage system in nature should have some special attention towards its preservation, and thus integrated approach of planning becomes vital for development. Adopting such approach of planning the project can be made feasible in all aspects. Creeks don’t only provides natural channel for storm water runoff, but at the same time better recreational facility can be provided surrounds it. Surat city has a very nicely distributed creek network in it. This Study carried out in this dissertation is basically centred for the development of creeks in sustainable manner by adopting the integrated approach of planning and this study could be a foot print for the development of water bodies like creek in urban area of Surat city.
