The site boasts of effective connectivity due to the national highway 48 and Naroda-Dehgam a state highway that passes through the site. Further, it is also strategically located at one of the 8 entry points to Ahmedabad and is connected across the city by SP ring road. Enasan is assumed to be acted upon by a Push-pull factor where people would want to come to live at affordable prices while going out to work. Tapping on to its strategic peripheral location fuelled with strong connectivity there is a scope for sub-regional node development in the site. The title of the portfolio is ‘UDBHAVA’ – A Tale of New Development in ENASAN which means it depicts the story of how a city can be developed from initial stages and achieved successfully to their final stages. The portfolio can be divided into 4 section i.e. First Section represents the word ‘UTPATI’ which means the origin and sub-regional study of the site. Second Section represents the word ‘UDGAM’ which means the rising stage of the project in which it can show the delineation of TP Scheme and the existing situation analysis of the site. The third Section represents the word ‘UTTHAAN’ which means the uplifting stage in the project where it can be achieved by the iteration and principles of reconstitution by having some reservations in it. The Forth Section represents the word ‘UDAAR’ which simply denoted the generosity of the author which is shown by the author through their learnings and outcomes.
