Hirawadi: Life on streets

Hirawadi, located in eastern Ahmedabad, is a dense, vibrant locality shaped by its mix of residential clusters, small-scale industries, and bustling commercial activities, primarily serving lower and middle-income groups. Despite its strategic connectivity to major city areas via arterial roads and public transport like BRTS and AMTS buses, the neighborhood grapples with issues of congestion, narrow streets, and limited open spaces. The intent of the study was to understand the complexity that lies with the urban fabric of Hirawadi in terms of building typologies, streets, public spaces etc.
