The project attempts to utilize the voids in Gandhinagar city and stitches the inner-urban parcels to create a new continuous productive corridor. By strategically identifying and transforming the vacant or under-used areas into a productive landscape, the project aims to redefine the meaning and functioning of the vacancy in the city. To achieve this spatial integration and continuation, the proposal makes guidelines for public land, street design, and existing typologies. And together the integration can bring fragmented open spaces into a continuous resilient system. Overall it creates continuous productive landscape within the sector that in the long run creates a positive environmental impact.
The overall strategy at both city and sector level is to program these vacant spaces to become places of leisure, ecology, food growing and energy along with certain percentage for built. To achieve the spatial integration and continuation, the proposal makes guidelines for public land, street design and existing typologies.Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL) system Framework : By taking vacant property, and under-used streets, a continuous productive loop is established, the city is reshaped, and a new way of living is introduced to its inhabitants.The l scale represents at the sector level, strategic accumulation of vacant property and turning it into productive area. The Toolkit/Set of possibilities is presented as a catalogue for dealing with different typologies of vacant land and provides Supporting services.Toolkit for Edible ServicesToolkit for Social ServicesToolkit for Ecological ServicesCPUL framework developed from the Toolkit model represents a strategy that incentivizes long-term returns, supports the provision of local services and utilities to create an environmental and financial resilience. The above representation if for the garden patch CPUL framework for Institutional patch.
