Surat is a port city in India, formerly known as Suryapur. It is also known by its nicknames as City of the Sun, Diamond City, Silk City and the Bridge City. All these names are associated with one or the other reason and we shall acknowledge all by the course of this article. The History of Surat is quite interesting.
The city centre is located south of the river Tapti, and a moat divides the older parts of the city (narrow streets with congestion) with the newer ones (mainly suburbs). Surat is the second largest city in the state of Gujarat, the first being Ahmedabad. It was selected one of the twenty cities to be developed as a smart city; the city is the first smart IT city in India.
