Given the large scale urbanization, cities in India are facing immense pressure due to lack of sufficient quality built space for various uses and income groups. Land use in developed core areas of the cities is getting transformed from residential areas to commercial and other uses. Local governments respond by expanding the city limits, redefining and revising the building bye-¬laws and allowing higher floor space ratio. An opportunity exists for the landowners to derive substantial benefits by redeveloping the land parcels as per the micro-¬market requirements. This opportunity also exists for some large land parcels that are not used to the optimal capacity especially the lands previously being occupied by mills. The proposed ’Housing Project Studio’ focused on the development of greenfield/brownfield sites in Ahmedabad. The sites identified for studio offer variation in terms of predominant land use, location, accessibility, and another character. This studio developed projects for Mill land Redevelopment, Public land Redevelopment, Private land Redevelopment & Slum land Redevelopment.
