Rethinking Urban Land with the 'Green' Plan

The infrastructure development in metro cities like Ahmedabad has created an opportunity for the city to flourish but also has burdened the existing urban areas with more population influx. With metro transit route coming up along Drive-in Road, Ahmedabad, transformation is happening at a rapid pace, with an effort to accommodate more and more people. In the process, the need for sustainable, peaceful living has lost somewhere. Built-up area is multiplying whereas the greens are depleting sharply. To re-inform and re-direct the current development, this project proposes a 'Green' way for Urban Transformation through LAP framework.
