The precinct documented in this publication lies in Sabarmati; in the North-Western fringe of Ahmedabad. The precinct is located around 9 kilometres from CEPT University. The stark contrast of eastern and western side Ahmedabad can be interpreted through this precinct. The precinct comprises mostly middle-income neighbourhoods. The precinct has lower land rates as compared to Navrangpura (Around 4-5 times less), and hence the housing is affordable to the lower-income groups as well. The precinct is largely residential with some industrial to the south of the precinct. The precinct hasn’t undergone any major transformation which can be evidently seen through the last decade’s development and its barely affected urban form. The publication looks at the precinct from the lens of inhabitability as an old establishment, key aspects observed in the neighbourhood.
