Post Occupancy Evaluation:
A – Case of Kartavya Path, Delhi
B – Case of CG Road, Ahmedabad
After years of rigorous design development and execution process, two project: Kartavya Path in Delhi and CG Road in Ahmedabad have seen the light of the day. The uniqueness about these two projects is that they were already popular landmarks of their respective cities bustling with people and activities on day-to-day basis much before they were taken up as urban design projects and redeveloped.
