Living together in connected communities makes a place more livable because of the social encounters that it allows; enhancing the quality of life. A city must have such spaces where people can come together, express themselves, engage socially and spend quality time with their friends and loved ones. Ahmedabad has numerous potential parks, open grounds and vacant lands that can enhance such social encounters. Yet, they are fragmented and not easily accessible because of elements like walls, roads and certain edge conditions that act as a strong barrier, creating a disconnect between such spaces. During this lockdown because of the pandemic, the multiplicity of benefits parks and open spaces have always offered us seem not only like an added bonus right now, but rather, a critical lifeline for cities and their residents. Ahmedabad city will experience a huge pressure on its public spaces post lockdown. Thus, it also becomes necessary to enhance the current public spaces the city offers and make them more accessible. With the intention of making these spaces more accessible to the public both visually and physically, the project identifies and builds connections between such spaces to create a network of open spaces; enhancing the quality of life.  https://www.vacantlandstudio.com/prabhanjan-prabhu
