Ahmedabad 2041 : Towards a compact future

The Development Plan studio seeks to acquire an in-depth grasp of the statutory development plan and its framework, based on primary and secondary research. It is an introduction to the forces ad determinants that make a city and run a city. The forces of market trends, administrative decisions societal norms and most importantly personal decisions en masse make the city a chaotic, interesting and difficult subject to understand. The aim of the Development Plan is to create a framework allowing these forces to build and re build the city they please while taking care of the poor and the environment.
