Vejalpur, Ahmedabad

This project focuses on exploring the urban dynamics of Ahmedabad by studying Vejalpur, a diverse and evolving precinct. The study involves examining its infrastructure, land use patterns, and community life through various analyses, including land use studies, built-use studies, built fabric analysis, and street characteristics analysis. The study is done by observing the 3 different zones in the precinct and comparing each layer that defines each zone's characteristics. Additionally, the study aims to assess the impact of these elements on promoting social life in Vejalpur by investigating the public realms within the precinct.
