Historic city centers have always struggled to transform themselves to adjust to the modern standards of living. They have been the fields of conflict between conservation and modernization. While on one hand Ahmedabad enjoys the title of the World Heritage City, on the contrary the heritage value has set on a declining path owing to the modern aspirations and needs, simultaneously degenerating the social and economic structure of the historic city center. The project attempts to bridge the gap between conservation and modernization in the old city of Ahmedabad through guided transformation aiding in the revatilization of the historic city center.
