THE NEXUS CITY: 'A Living Oasis'

This masterplan explores a systems approach to climate-resilient urban development in the rapidly urbanizing Koba region, situated between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.

By integrating blue-green systems with urban infrastructure, the project aims to balance development with the preservation of natural hydro-ecological systems. The design seeks to address challenges like flooding, heat islands, and urban sprawl while leveraging the opportunities presented by the upcoming Metro Phase 2 extension.
