Panjim, the capital of Goa, exemplifies the multifaceted process of urban transformation, seeking to enhance physical infrastructure, land use, transportation networks, social cohesion, sustainability, economic prosperity, historical preservation, and resilience. As the city's tourism sector grows exponentially, the strain on its infrastructure and services has prompted a pressing need for comprehensive transformation. The current studio's objective is to cultivate a symbiotic relationship between tourism and the local economy, promoting equitable economic distribution through support for local businesses and entrepreneurship. This transformation transcends cosmetic changes, focusing on infrastructure improvements, reconfiguration of urban spaces, and a holistic approach that benefits not only the city but also its neighborhoods and the broader region, all while preserving Panjim's unique character and history.
