This project focuses on redesigning a bustling street in Manek Chowk, Ahmedabad, to enhance its functionality and vibrancy. The goal is to cater to the existing informal activities, such as vending and social interactions, while improving pedestrian flow and reducing traffic congestion. By studying the site’s informal elements, vendor patterns, and challenges, the design aims to create flexible spaces that support vendors, pedestrians, and cultural activities. Strategies like modular vending setups, multifunctional areas, and better traffic management will help preserve the street’s dynamic character while making it more organised, accessible, and sustainable for the community.
