selection of the transect
(Neighbourhood Map)
In order to properly study the city, a small test neighbourhood was selected. Since this neighbourhood was to be representative of the node, the diversity present in the test neighbourhood was of great importance. The above transect was selected, consisting of sectors 12, 13, 19, 20 and 21. It features the spaced out, residential high rises of Sectors 20 and 21, the high density, low rise, low cost housing of Sector 12, and the two gaothans of Kharghar Gaothan and Murbi Village, from Sectors 13 and 19 respectively. Additionally, this transect begins from the foothills of the Parsik Hill Range to the West, ending in the Kharghar Creek.
