MANEK CHOWK, AHMEDABAD: The most fascinating character of this chowk is the changeover that happens as the night approaches. It is a busy commercial street during the daytime and acquires a festive character at night. Unorganized vending activities cause congestion and bottlenecks for movement; Shop extensions on to footpaths and streets reduce space for pedestrian movement. V.V PURAM FOOD STREET, BENGALURU: Located in the old region of the city, the population consists of brahmins, vaishyas and jains, leading to vegetarian food being served. The food street eventually becomes pedestrian in the evening due to the crowd spilling out on the roads and shops extending on the footpath.
