The portfolio is the reflection of Housing Studio work that aims to efficiently address the issue of housing unaffordability in Surat by developing a various housing substrategy in which the housing choices are distributed among all income groups. In order to understand the housing scenario in the city we were introduced with different exercises for Situation Assessments through primary analysis. This analysis focussed more on to understanding the baseline situation in the Surat to develop individual substrategies comprehensively. This was used as a base to project & envision various growth scenarios in the year 2035 to help us formulate a set of enabling and provisionary substrategies. The portfolio also focusses on “Provisonary & Regulatory support for Homeless” to provide adequate, accessible and decent shelters for Urban Homeless & Construction workers through permanent supportive and transitional housing on long and short term interventions along with reforming the existing framework supporting them.
