Culture Builds Community : Urbanizing Urban Villages

Culture Led urban regeneration has been used by various countries, societies and, organizations to use culture and art to revitalize precincts or societies that are plagued with socio-economic depletion. Culture is used to build community while adding auxiliary activities to enhance the economic value of the area. The idea for Thaltej stems from this ideology, using urban design as a tool to upgrade existing infrastructure.
Culture combined with a strong program and economic structure can generate revenue and create healthier community interactions.The transformation story is inspired by the positive social conditions that can result from cultural participation among diverse communities. Along the way, the neighborhood gets new identity, recognition and economic prosperity.
