Indian cities are being rapidly shaped by political and market-driven forces, where economic growth takes precedence over inclusivity, community well-being, and human experience. The needs of the majority are often overlooked, with little to no dialogue between planners and the people they design for. This leads to a disconnect between how spaces are conceived and how they are ultimately experienced. 
In this context, this paper discusses the need for and benefit of psychogeography, not just as a documentation tool but as an active method to inform human-centric urban design in the city of Ahmedabad.
