All the cities are different from each other. The variation is an observation in the urban form and the urban pattern. These urban patterns are a human response in natural land. This studio focus on the development of Ahmedabad city. Cities are spaces with complex habitats with divergent ideas, diverse lifestyles, organized chaos, and contestations over spaces and resources. This exercise reflects on how Cities are characterized by contestations, ranging from questions such as ‘what is the city?’ to ‘who is the city for?’ Also, it helps us to start the thinking about the questions ‘what is a good city?’ and ‘to whom does the city belong?’ and How? Some see cities as nothing more than labor markets and agglomerations of economic activities whereas some see cities as sites of cultural confluence, human progress, and technological innovations. Essentially these points are enclosed which are the fundamental principles. First-semester foundation studio is based on Ahmedabad city. In this studio, they gave knowledge regarding Ahmedabad city planning and other connectivity facilities like infrastructures, housings, streets, networking of the city, housing typology, travel behaviors, job centers and also about public spaces, land characteristics, street characters in the Ahmedabad city. They gave 156 squares in the Ahmedabad city. Among them, my 1x1 km precinct is towards drive-in cinema to gurukul road. Basically, in present, it has emerged as a commercial and educational hub due to past influences. The precinct has inverse radical development effects because of the surroundings and past events.
