Mega Project as a Tool to Transform Existing City BASE MAP (EXISTING)
Academic Work: Mega Project as a Tool to Transform Existing City, M.Arch (Urban Design) Thesis (2009) Case: International Financial Center - Ahmedabad

Developing Nations (South East Asian Countries) are coming up
with Mega Projects and these Mega Projects has become
cornerstone of Nation Building. But mostly these projects are not
proposed within city, all the mega projects proposed in these
countries are outskirts of the city.

Main reason for these trends is lack of infrastructure available in
the city. The available infrastructure is very poor and it can not
support the development which the Mega project is
demanding. Same conditions with the built environment of the
existing city.

But taking Mega Project as an opportunity for an existing city, one
can upgrade the infrastructure of the existing city through Mega
Project in terms of transport, sanitation, water supply, recreational
areas etc.

Once the existing city is up to date with infrastructure and quality
of built environment then only one should go for peripheral
(edge) development.

The selection of site for any project should not be decided by the
cost of the land and availability of the land, but it should be
decided by the requirement of the project and benefits and
after effect of the project.

DESIGN STRATEGY

Maximizing the advantage of IFC for the Ahmedabad City

The IFC can become a catalyst for new development in
surrounding areas.

Guidelines to spread the benefits of the urban regeneration to
the surrounding areas

Zoning based on existing and future infrastructure and transport
network

Continuous Green Network

Integrate public and private spaces and enhance people’s use
and enjoyment of the City

Preserve important parts of the City's heritage

The GDCR could be moulded to facilitate city development

Opening the rear entry of existing Kalupur Railway Station will
improve the connectivity to the IFC and Eastern Ahmedabad.
