Area Planning Exercise- Odhav Ward

   This studio gave us our first exposure to the practice of planning.It aimed to develop our capacity to think with a different perspective and equipped us with elementary, conceptual, analytical and communication skills necessary to become a professional planner.It offered us an opportunity to understand the users needs through a participatory process.    Presently in Ahmedabad, a comprehensive city plan is prepared every ten years and later micro -planning is taken up.Now, as the city grows denser, micro-planning attains more importance. The main task of this studio was to prepare a plan for a basic administrative unit- a municipal ward.
