The Walled City of Ahmedabad has ingredients to be a successful Heritage city within a city.
What is needed is a visionary master plan and immediate implementation.
The good news is the thriving heritage of the city in the form of ‘pol houses’, and active preservation efforts happening at an individual level.
The bad news is that much is still in great danger of loss. The downright ugly news is that much has been lost already and is getting replaced by structures with minimal care for context.
Ahmedabad requires master plan regulation to direct its future development in healthy, contextually-sensitive ways to improve the city,
rather than tear it apart.
