AREA PLANNING STUDIO | VASNA | 2016

The aim of the Area Planning Lab was to develop a Comprehensive Ward plan for the VASNA ward in Ahmedabad. Interventions were proposed based on the requirement of the ward & its stakeholders, envisioning the ward’s development for the future. The study evolved from personal perspectives of the ward which over time got translated into understanding the underlying issues and peoples perspective of the area. This was done through personal interviews and surveys. The vision for VASNA 2021 was achieved through many interventions in housing sector, infrastructure,last mile connectivity, walk-ability environmental conditions and by facilitating economy generation.
