Majority of the cities in India are growing rapidly due to fast paced urbanization. Many of these cities and urban areas have prepared macro level plans, that is Development Plans or Master Plans, to manage future growth. However, majority of these plans remain unimplemented due to lack of careful micro-level planning in both greenfield and brownfield areas. This Studio focused on developing core competencies in preparing micro level plans for both, greenfield (TPS) and brownfield (LAP) areas, which go beyond conventional approaches, and integrate multi-disciplinary aspects resulting in high quality environment. In this studio, the students are engaged in preparing Local Area Plans and Town Planning Schemes in different cities such as Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Surat and Mumbai. After reviewing the statutory framework and existing situation analysis, the students derive the vision and develop proposals for a robust road network.
