This studio focused on the design aspects of urban transformations within the existing urban areas as Indian cities are growing rapidly in terms of population and therefore expanding physically. Increasing urban population and the growing urban incomes will fuel demand for more and more built floor space in cities accompanied by a demand for infrastructure. Urban areas within these cities are dealing with sustainable levels of stress on infrastructure, resources and public services and are becoming unlivable. The project had a strong decision focus on the physical setting, however issues of private ownership and social equity, land economics, planning models, project finance, and implementation strategies were also addressed. Learning Outcomes : •Prepare a strategic framework plan of delineated areas with identified design projects •Detail design of the Identified Urban design projects •Prepare building regulations for the intended urban form outcome for the project areas •Prepare a planning model for executing the proposed framework plan and carrying out various public place design projects

Situating the Site in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Understanding the Characteristics of the Site

The site selected to demonstrate the transformation is located in Danapith, in the heart of heritage walled city of Ahemdabad. Ahmedabad is India’s first living heritage city listed by UNESCO. Being the core of the city, it has numerous heritage structures such as Jami Masjid, Rani No Hajiro, Ahmed Shah Tomb and Teen Darwaza among many others. With bustling markets around, Danapith precinct is a thriving commercial spine. The old city of Ahmedabad located on the Eastern banks of the Sabarmati river is made up of around 360 pols within a fortified compound. Pol houses settlements are considered to be 300-400 years old. The area has been densified over the years. A pol is a housing cluster which comprises many families of a particular group, linked by caste, profession, or religion. This area is a growing nucleus with numerous commercial and residential activities.

The proposed precinct has city-level historic and cultural significance due to the presence of several heritage structures. Even today, the city core has retained its CBD character through its vibrant city-level markets, institutions and other ancillary activities. It has a mix of culture which brings out a distinct character. The walled city experienced an exponential growth in its population, leading to degradation of quality of life in the precinct. As a result, the elite started migrating towards the west. This led to a gradual decrease in population since 1970, predominantly leaving behind the lower and middle-income groups. Key Transformation triggers: •Heritage value •TDR opportunities •Old building stock under gentrification •Transit corridors •Markets under pressure

In 2017, Ahmedabad was announced as India’s first heritage city with 28 historic monuments, 2696 heritage structures and more than 600 Pols dating back to four different regimes of power. This declaration was celebrated throughout India. However today, even after five years of this announcement, we see encroachments in and around the monuments, dilapidated structures and several other threats like lack of facade control and shift from residential to commercial usage.

The heritage character of the walled city is further deteriorating as its vulnerability is increasing due to lack of maintenance, the strain on existing infrastructure and frequent demolition of the heritage assets. Hence, there is a dire need to transform and rejuvenate it.

Background & Site Analysis

Landmarks - City Level Importance

Markets - Commercial Egde

Understanding the growth pattern and history of the site area. Further, demonstrating site analysis with maps.

Development in the area was first triggered when Bhadra fort was built. This led to the formation and expansion of residential neighborhoods in this area. The next trigger was the construction of Jama Masjid. The raised plinth of the mosque provided a perfect opportunity to set up informal marketscalled Sarais. These markets formalized as they grew along the King’s Road, shaping the commercial character of the precinct. Later during the British Era, as mills began to flourish, Kalupur railway station was built to ease the transport of goods. After the wall was pulled down in 1940, the old city saw an influx of population. This created a strain on Gandhi road, to release the Relief road was carved out of the dense urban fabric. The declaration of Ahmedabad as the capital of Gujarat in 1960, incentivised the formation of several prominent institutes towards the north of Jama Masjid. This was the first transformation done in the precinct. From this period up to 1970, the old city experienced an exponential growth in its population, leading to degradation of quality of life in the precinct. As a result, the elite started migrating towards the west. This led to a gradual decrease in population since 1970, predominantly leaving behind the lower and middle-income groups. 8

Land Ownership The Site analysis demonstrates City level historic landmarks, markets highlighting the commercial Edge, various public transport network, Built use and Land Ownership. The public transport network comprises of exiting AMTS and BRTS Routes. It also shows the proposed metro line. Building use along the major roads is commercial while the internal dense urban fabric is residential comprising of Pols. The heritage structures are marked in dark brown majorly situated along the Gandhi road. The proposed site has variety of urban grains, from denser grains to bigger grains where institutional buildings are coming on the north of the site. Land Ownership is majorly private, while there are some upcoming public institutions and some AMC & AUDA buildings. This private land consists of small shops and dense residential pol clusters. There are only a few public spaces like Bhadra plaza, Manek chowk and market areas along the major roads. The site offers a variety of ingredients that brings up the mix of heritage, culture, and community.

Overall character of the Danapith Site

Need for the project and its scope & Limitations

There is a need to revitalize the historic urban core by integrating the fragmented commercial, residential and heritage assets, along with guiding the transformation of neighborhoods to provide for basic infrastructure through heterogeneous mix of uses to curb the drift of residential population.

There are Institution buildings that have come up during these years.

The idea is to : • • • Gandhi road precinct comprises of heritage structures, markets and commercial shops

Scope •

UNESCO World Heritage city

Unique urban fabric and social structure

Diversity and proximity to basic amenities

Presence of urban markers that help enhance the imageability

Well connected transport connectivity

Availability of higher FAR and TDR opportunities

Revitalize the heritage structures, Guiding the heritage development, Preserving and enhancing community, Improving quality of life by providing adequate infrastructure, Integrating the transit network with the urban fabric Rejuvenating the markets and other neighborhood level public spaces.

Limitations

Stakeholder Interview Softwares Used : Adobe Photoshop

Stats showing What stakeholders of the precinct think should change?

The most frequently discussed concern was Vehicular traffic and congestion is a significant concern and should be managed in some fashion. The roads are overparked and reduce the street efficiency The idea of “life mast hai” stated by the stakeholders comes from different backgrounds as some people genuinely think everything in their surroundings is okay while some have given up hope that there will be any transformation in the area and have made peace with it While the visitors are mostly looking forward to the beautification of the area, it is the residents, shopkeepers and the vendors that make a livelihood out of the area wants actual upgradation. need for public washrooms -play areas for kids upgradation of services such as drainage and sewage -infill projects such as educational institutions

Project Delineation There are four main roads cutting through the site, one of which is Gandhi road. It is a significant road that connects Bhadra plaza, Teen Darwaza stretching up to Kalupur railway station. The area around Gandhi road consists of several layer of commercial activities, heritage monuments and residential pol areas. The commercial character continues from Gandhi road towards Manek Chowk distributing into some internal pol areas. The selected area holds historic importance and several commercial and residential activities.

The Positives and the Negatives

The broader vision and objectives for the Proposal

The site benefits with layers of commercial activities, Heritage importance, and Old Residential pols. However, the area being such a great importance has few drawbacks 1. No segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movements. 2. No dedicated parking space 3. No proper vending space 4. Encroachment around heritage structure 5. Lack of visibility and no defined entrances 6. Lack of social spaces for residents The informal vendors have a mix of variety that they sell and there are spill over of activities which keeps the area alive and active. Although some modifications would help the precinct as well the surrounding areas to function better.

Implementation Strategies Softwares used : Adobe Photoshop

Illustration to build design strategies for the proposal

1. Rejuvenating Market Areas - Right sizing the Roads (ROW) - Re-imagining the built edge - Segregating vehicular, pedestrian and vending activities

2. Establishing Potential Connections - Organizing the existing streets - Pedestrianizing certain Streets - Connections between pols and open spaces

20

These implementation strategies help to construct a framework plan for the proposal. It caters to road network, accessibility and connectivity, the intersections and neighborhood level private community spaces. They act as a threshold between distributing series of public and private activities. The main road distribute more public activities along the built edge and nodes while internal areas remain private in nature.

Appreciation space.

Situating the Site in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

The heritage entrance is defined with change in pavement pattern or through level differences. The heritage boundary is defined by trees and seatings around it. People in pols have tendency to meet, sit and chat for long hours and that is one of the reasons to provide many types of seatings. There are shaded seating spaces and rooftop cafes proposed around, these spaces will provide visibility to the heritage structure without any encroachments. These interactive public spaces will also help in the heritage walks that happen in this historic area. It will not only make public places but also boost tourism and economy creating awareness of the lost heritage.

The adjacent ground to school is proposed as a sports ground with kids play area on daily basis While during festival it has a flexibility to transform into community ground. There are seating spaces around the corner and chai addas as gathering spaces, Anganwadis for kids and many gathering spaces at chowks. Every module of proposed neighborhood block has carved out open spaces for community interaction and enhancement of culture. This interactive block with adequate facilities will avoid the shift to west. The open spaces will hold this entire community of pols together.

There are some streets, that are proposed as pedestrian during festival after the development of alternate route. Some are permanently pedestrianized and some are on temporary basis. These streets have flexible nature and can have market set up or can just be a walking street.

Situating the Site in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

There is a difference in pavement pattern which defines the walkway and the seating/vending zones and even pedestrianized streets. The incidental pocket spaces around people can be used periodically during festival and society celebration. The vision for the proposed site is to create value and utilize the pocket level spaces well at public and neighborhood level.

Conclusion

This can work as a prototype to every street on the site • Strengthening connections and refining market edges • No. Of open social spaces would increase with node plazas and neighborhood courtyards • Improved connections with internal pol areas and open spaces for all • Appreciation spaces and added value to the heritage assets

Softwares used : SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop

Quantification & Conclusion

The existing scenario shows how chaotic and unorganized the Gandhi road and activities around are. And the proposal would not only segregate the movement but also formalize the commercial units with shops ground floor as well as first floor, increasing the no. of retail units. While pols have lack of social spaces and the proposal would allow social spaces for people Redirecting the vehicular movement only in the wider ROW.
