Livelihood Streets:

The project aims at designing streets that prioritises the right of urban poor to earn a livelihood by using public amenities, at the same time enhancing city life. Ahmedabad is witnessing street redevelopment projects on the western part of the city. These projects or a few components of the project come under the Smart Cities Mission initiative by the Central Government of India. The primary objectives of the Smart Cities Mission missed a chance to anchor development around the right of urban poor. Thus, the projects fail to ensure representation from the urban poor, and hence disregards the prevalence of caste and class in our society.
