The Green Transit Oriented Plan Redesigning the for rapid transit corridor corridor at ISCON Academic Year | 3rd Year, Semester 1 | Sept, 2014 Studio Advisor | Lokendra Balasaria Work | HH Survey, Analysis, Concept Plans, Master Plan, Street design Drawings
The Green Transit Oriented Plan
VISION
“Enhancing market potential of bus rapid transit corridor and promote int through strategic place making “
The proposal of BRT corridor is a chance to promote a well-planned urban land development around the upcoming commercial frontage. In order to turn Ahmedabad’s density from horizontal to vertical form, we have to look at the possibility of placemaking for building of multifunctional, active, and sustainable area

UrbaVoids Reimaging the under-flyover spaces in Mumbai, India
Urban Culture Revisioning the BB arterial road for Mumbai, India The Urban Vision | Junior Urban Planner| Jun 2016
Initiated by local community, sponsored by foundations and other crowd sourcing funding mecahnisms, set up by the collobration of professionals and non-professional, urban landscape as these aims to cultivate a sense of belonginess and activates the local area. It not only acts as an aesthetic asset, but in totality it estblishes a traditional culture to achieve sustainable development with the participation of various stakeholders such as tourist, local residents and other institutions.
I believe that it is impossible for urban design to solve all the problems of public spaces of the cities at once, but it can definitely build a framework that allows the users to improve it gradually and serve as an accelerant for regional developemnt
Project 1 Quality of Life in America A data analysis study that explored the relationship between the misery and density of American cities. To understand variance across the state, I visualized one of the parameter using Ridge Plots in R. Project 2 Ecosensitve Regions A land suitability study for Pennsylvania region was done using supervised and unsupervised modeling using ArcGIS, to determine Ecosensitive regions in need of protection and potential developable region Project 3 Philadelphia Gentrification Using machine learning, a binary Logit regression model was built to predcit gentrifying census tracts, based on multiple expanatory parameters. The model was cross validated to gauge the generalizability of it. Spatial Maps were created in R.
Developed in a three user case, #cinsafe was designed as an envisioning of the future of safety towards drug overdose addressing the contemporary opiod overdose case in Cincinnati. #cinsafe is an awerness campaign and realtime information portal designed to - increase the efficiency of the health department in deploying of hte forces - sensitize the present day youth/community about the effects of the drug consumption and the rising concern Though an extrem vision of the unexpected consequences, the campaign aims at opening the platform for community participation and volunteering.
Behind the application #cinsafe
A risk terrain predictive model was created to predict drug overdoses in Cincinnati based on the 311 call reporting. The model was trained on multiple explanatory variables and was cross validated for data set of 11 months to test it’s generalizability. It was compared to kernel density to understand how a predictive model outperfoms predicts based on kernel density. Links to Project https://youtu.be/8lnI1aOmD7c http://rpubs.com/dprovost/cinsafe

Min(d)ing the potenial
Abstract The rapidly growing number of senior citizens in Indian cities, changing demographic structure and deteriorating transport infrastructure has raised concerned about mobility and independence of seniors. This article explores these issues, using semi-structured interviews in the city of Kochi, Kerala. The study finds that the provision of mobility infrastructure and the situation of seniors has restricted their mobility to the extent that many seniors prefer not to travel, pushing seniors towards living a dependent life. However, the changing social structure will force them to live an independent life which, will put a lot of pressure on their well-being. It is imperative that there is systemic support and mobility options are provided such that seniors are able to move freely. Keywords Seniors, Mobility, Dependency, Accessibility

I was involved in designing the street elements, designing and publishing the dictionary ‘Out of home mobility of senior citizen’ is a book chapter in Geographies of Transporation and Ageing. I was involved in the design of the research framework, primary data collection (house hold survey and FGDs), Compile literature review of academic publications on crossborder Elderly mobility
