Paldi: Layers of Legacy and Development

Paldi is a dynamic precinct in Ahmedabad that reflects a blend of cultural heritage and urban transformation. It has evolved into a thriving residential and transitional hub, connecting diverse parts of the city. The area is self-sufficient, offering essential amenities, but faces challenges such as underutilized FSI, poor pedestrian infrastructure, and inefficient water and waste management systems. Its strategic location and diverse housing typologies make it a critical urban node. With targeted interventions, Paldi has the potential to address these challenges and emerge as a model for sustainable, inclusive development while preserving its historical legacy.
