Thaltej is one of the towns within the northwest zone of Ahmedabad that has transformed considerably during the last two decades and now stands as a vibrant commercial, residential, and institutional hub along the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway. The study focuses on the analysis of a one-square-kilometre area in Thaltej, examining its street network, land use patterns, built forms, public realm, transportation, housing, and socio-economic dynamics. Thaltej's growth pattern is attributed to its strategic location along the transit corridor and SG highway, availability of amenities, and diverse housing options. The precinct's contrasting character, with high end gated communities alongside gamtal, reflects a varied quality of life within the area.
