Navigating Khokhra: Balancing Urban Vibrancy & Infrastru

The project focuses on Khokhra, Ahmedabad, exploring the urban dynamics of this diverse precinct. It examines the contrast between high-density residential areas and loosely developed regions, highlighting challenges such as traffic congestion, overcrowding, and inadequate infrastructure. The project assesses land use imbalances, with a predominance of residential spaces and minimal institutional facilities, limiting economic opportunities. Ground-floor retail enhances vibrancy but creates pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Additionally, issues like waste management and stormwater drainage affect public health and safety. The study emphasizes the need for balanced development, sustainable infrastructure, and efficient public space management to foster a cohesive urban environment.
