The New Urban Centre

A city thats bids to host Olympics uses it as a tool to aid the long term vision of the city. This has a profound social impact on the area and the population as the infrastructure and living conditions are developed. The mega event acts as a catalyst for the development by creating identity and assets at the city level. To have a successful legacy it is necessary to carry forward the identity of the olympics through the years. The project aims to develop a a successful legacy plan that acts as the new urban centre in Ahmedabad.
