STUDIO BRIEF
This studio focuses on the master planning, and design of single-ownership, large Greenfield developments/ cleared
brownfield development with a key emphasis on the design of livable neighborhoods.

To respond to the demand of expansion in the rapidly growing urban centers, governments facilitate such new develop-
ments through various development mechanisms. This studio operated within the existing development framework of the
Integrated Township Policy, which is typically a developer-driven activity and involves design on a large contiguous tract of
land under single ownership. 


The site considered for this township is a greenfield site in the western outskirts of Ahmedabad, along the upcoming
Dedicated Freight corridor, and in the influence of the proposed Knowledge and Institution Zone. The focus was to create
flexible framework plans that enable sustainable, inclusive neighborhoods that are also responsive to ecological assets.

SITE ANALYSIS AND CASE STUDY
Greenfield land on the western suburbs of Ahmedabad, near the future Dedicated Freight line, and along the proposed
Knowledge and Institution Zone is the location being considered for this township. The goal was to develop adaptable
framework plans that support diverse, inclusive neighborhoods that are sensitive to natural resources. The detailed site
analysis is done for this.

Inorder to understand the emerging township trends in Ahmedabad, case study of the Green Glades Godrej Garden City in
Ahmedabad is done. Along with this, site visit to Adani Shantigram Township, Applewoods Township and Sky City Town-
ship were conducted. A scale study was also conducted to understand the scale of the site better.

SITE ANALYSIS
SITE LOCATION
The Ahmedabad district has a total pop-
ulation of 72 lakh and is ranked as the
8th most populous district in India with
8087 sq km which houses the Greater
Ahmedabad City. As the eastern half of
the Ahmedabad houses a lot of industries
the City’s residential zone is expanding
towards the West.

The Thol Bird Sanctuary and Indus University, two city-level anchors, are close Section C’
to the location. A primary school, a large cattle lake, and a mobile healthcare
facility are the only amenities shared by the site and the Unali settlement, Proposed road Canal

which is located 325 meters to the east of it. The street network inside the
property is organic with the canal road on the east and the DFC on the west.

SITE OPPORTUNITIES
There is high potential for bio
diversity due to the presence of
water bodies. Knowledge zone
and Logistic zone along DFC will
act as future magnets, thereby
attracting people to the township.
Good connectivity and access
from canal ring road and possible
public transport plug-in from exist-
ing AMT route is possible.

SITE CONSTRAINTS
There is an absence of street con-
nectivity from northern edge of the
site. The presence of DFC corridor
might cause congestion and noise
pollution as well. The linear infra-
structural corridors (DFC corridor
as well as the proposed 90m canal
ring road) might limit east-west
connectivity.

customs.
The boulevard is complemented by verdant gardens and pe-
destrian paths. Collectively, these elements deliver a strong
sense of place and community.

STREET SECTION:

MASTERPLAN FRAMEWORK:
The master plan creates a blueprint for a high-density
community at the periphery of Ahmedabad’s urban city core.
For liquidity of the project, the land was owned by the joint
venture partner i.e. Shree Siddhi Group. They own 210
acres of land dedicated to the project. Since the completion
of the master plan, seven parcels have been commissioned
to various designers. These include, three mixed residential
MASSING: use parcels (designed by Art & Architecture + Jagrut and
Partners + Placekinesis Associates), the city clubhouse
(designed by Studio Lotus) two commercial parcels (de-
signed by Architect Hafeez Contractor) and the central park
(designed by BDP).

This township is designed to be a self-sustaining city with a

total of 13,000 apartments having 40 acres of open space &
landscaping and other commercial spaces.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Enhanced mobility
• High quality public realm
• Allocation of formal, informal and community spaces
• Varied built-use
• The master plan carefully calibrates the built and open
relationships or edge types for the township

MASSING: LEARNINGS:

• Different kinds of visual imageries have been used by

the developers in form of 3D models, rendering, and
2D graphics to portray the green open spaces of the
township.
• The same open space, in reality, is different.
• The majority of the public areas are yet to be con-
structed.
• Totally different building on the actual site
• The image of the grand central park portrays a larger
open space than the existing one.
• The main access and exit points to each residential
area are only two
• Due to plenty of open space, the cars are parked in
every possible way scattered in all places
• Small pockets of green spaces encourage public realm
• Though the project intent was great, it wasn’t com-
pletely successful in delivering it in reality.

VISION, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The vision that drives the masterplan and the objectives that guide the masterplan, as well as the various strategies for the
development of a master plan, including the street network, open space, spatial planning, strategies for the street charac-
ter, integration of public transport systems, strategies for pedestrian and vehicular priority on streets, etc., are explained
here.

CURRENT SCENARIO: AHMEDABAD
Rapid Urbanization :
Ahmedabad is growing at a rate of 20-30sq.km. per
year
Low per capita green space:
9-12 m² per capita green space is recommended
according to WHO & URDPFI.
Only 1.42 m² per capita green space in AMC & AUDA
combined
Decrease in number of lakes:
2-3 lakes dry per year in Ahmedabad.

From the study conducted on the present scenario of Ahmedabad, it was identified that,
• Parks and green recreation limit the Urban heat island effect to a degree.
• The surface temperature can be countered by increasing the density of vegetation and water bodies. (Blue- Green
infrastructure)

INTEGRATED TOWNSHIPS
Integrated townships are clusters of housing and commercial businesses with associated infrastructure (such as roads,
schools, hospitals, convenience shopping, water treatment plants, and drainage and sewage facilities) in close proximity.

VISION:
Garden City
To develop a model township utilising green and blue infrastructure to mitigate urban heat island intensity and thereby
making it more liveable. (Derived from the study conducted on the present scenario of Ahmedabad city)

OBJECTIVES

Strengthen and activate the natural Promote active mobility Compact mixed-use
landscape within site development
These objectives will guide the designing of the masterplan.
DESIGN STRATEGIES

The presence of water bodies ensures ample groundwater
recharge; and enhanced biodiversity. There is a perinnial
lake and two seasonal lakes in the site.
PRIMARY ROAD NETWORK
A 30m is poposed to Virangam towards the south side of
site/ This is utilized as the primary street network to provide
entry to the township from the proposed 90m Canal road.
OPEN SPACE NETWORK
A lake park along the perennial lake, a central open
space connecting the two seasonal lakes, considering the
prevailing wind direction and a forest park along the DFC
corridor to reduce noise pollution
PRIMARY ROAD NETWORK
A 30m wide boulevard with active public realm deviates
to the DFC from the proposed DP road to Virangam. This
connects the DFC and canal road and act as the primary

MASTERPLAN AND DELAYERING
A master plan for urban design is being created, with an emphasis on creating liveable neighborhoods that explore ideas
for future living.  A detailed masterplan along with its delayering- street networks, open space network, character areas,
placement of public amenities and anchors, built-open relation and built uses are included. The various residential typol-
ogies and building heights proposed to attain maximum FSI is mentioned here. The relation between built and unbuilt is
also analysied.

The studio enabled to explore the scale of open spaces, building forms and footprint, heights and typologies etc. to be pro-
vided in a integrated residential township. This studio gave awareness about the Integrated Township Policy’s preexisting
development framework, which is often developer-driven.

To accomplish the intended result, an urban block, public open areas, and guidelines are suggested. The guidelines
proposed are effectively communicated along with supporting graphics. By creating images that effectively portray distinct
spaces, the anticipated views showcasing their characteristics are also created.

This exercise has helped to develop strategic understanding of various attributes regarding urban blocks and its com-
ponents and has helped to identify and analyse the parameters that shape the physical form of urban blocks and open
spaces to understand their role in the surrounding context.

CONCLUSION
The studio focused on developing vision, ojectives to guide the masterplan and strategies adopted on the site. The struc-
turing of guidelines and layers in masterplan were also considered. The designed masterplan of residential integrated
township focuses on maximizing the green open spaces and reducing the built footprint.

In order to create successful representation graphics, the design approach concentrated on how the concepts might be
brought to life. It was made feasible by exploring several methods of representation and improving drafting abilities to
abstract the characteristics of urban blocks and open areas.
