The study was part of the ‘Understanding the city’ studio, conducted by Faculty of Planning at CEPT University. Each student was given a unique one square kilometre area of Ahmedabad to conduct a comprehensive urban study. It included the historical evolution of the precinct, it's physical and socio-economic characteristics. Physical characteristics included streets, land, built, public realm, and infrastructure. While socioeconomic characteristics included housing choices, incomes, expenditures, travel behaviour and mapping of job centres and economy generation from the precinct. It also included municipal governance and finance. The studio helped us understand the relation of various aspects of urbanism and their interdependency in a city, it also made us more conscious about the city level infrastructure, and economic demands of the city and the community.
