Urban areas are in continuous flux
of development. Thus, to keep up
with the urban pace, Cities need to
continuously transform. Renewal
and infill is a potential way to
extract city resources such as vacant
and underutilized land parcels in the
city. The approach of urban
transformation is a challenge and a solution to growing urban sprawl, it
is a potential way to create walkable communities, facilitate residents
with housing choice, safeguard open
spaces, foreshorten infrastructure
expenses, and revitalize old
neighborhoods.
The expected outcomes of the
project is intended on identifying
the untapped potential that the
urban land currently offers and
consider it as a way of retrofitting
urban sprawl to limit the physical
boundaries of the haphazard city
growth with substandard urban
services. And then carefully
considering development as a self-cleaning
mechanism to emerging
concerns of housing, congestion,
lack of public realm, infrastructure,
and ecology.
The intended project of integrating
urban campuses is developed on
an implied model towards urban retrofitting, promises to contribute
to the solution of the problems
associated with sprawling land-use
patterns and institutional lands
that exist as urban voids providing
a passive edge to the city. Thus,
reimagining urban campuses as city
anchors could coordinate economic
and social developments at local,
regional and city level. Providing
a potential to improve the Indian
urban environment and transform
cities for a better tomorrow.
