Child-friendly township

The various challenges of urban childhoods are traffic, pollution, crime, social fear & aversion, inadequate access to open spaces in the city. Everyone plan their future home with consideration of their child's future, hence they indirectly drive the real estate market. The studio aims in developing a greenfield township project at Sabaspur village in the peri-urban area of Ahmedabad. The idea of township is to design a neighborhood considering children as the major priority in a community living with safer, healthier and playful urban spaces. A successful city for a child is a successful city for everyone.
