The study begins with a thorough analysis of Ahmedabad's existing urban structure - its boundary delineation, demographic trends, economic drivers, and spatial growth patterns. Population estimation models and economic growth projections inform the scale and distribution of proposed development.
A detailed road-network optimisation strategy addresses the city's growing mobility challenges. Environmental sustainability measures including green corridors, flood management zones, and air-quality improvement strategies are woven into the spatial framework.
Key components of the plan draw from comparative case studies of Vienna and Prague - two cities recognised for their sophisticated approaches to managing urban density alongside heritage preservation.
These global insights are adapted to Ahmedabad's specific context - a rapidly growing Indian city with a UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic core.
