Empowering a city through a vision - Rajkot 2036

The Development Plan Studio for spring 2021 started by studying a familiar city, which helped understand a DP's requirement and importance. Which was accompanied by a complete study of Rajkot to create a suitable Development Plan for the city. Rajkot is the 4th largest city in Gujarat and is a political and economic capital of Saurashtra region. It has industries as main economic driving force accompanied by service sectors. Through this process, the constituents of a DP, such as roads, infrastructure and development control tools along with their method of implementation for suitable outcomes were explored.
