Navrangpura: A Hub of Economic Activity and Urban Life

Navrangpura, centrally located in Ahmedabad, is a dynamic precinct combining residential, commercial, and institutional spaces. With C.G. Road as its commercial backbone, the area benefits from strong connectivity, positioning it as a hub for commerce and student housing, due to its proximity to universities. This project examines a 1 square kilometer study area within Navrangpura, focusing on the area's infrastructure, the high demand for commercial and residential spaces, and challenges such as limited public spaces, inadequate infrastructure, and underutilized public transport. The study aims to better understand the city and the precinct through its streets, built form, and its people.
