Julian Beinart.The goals of this project are to improve the quality of life and to preserve the special characteristics of this area like heritage, diversity and density while pursuing the ideals of efficiency, ecological soundness and social equity in the planning. The idea is to retrofit the old c ity to accommodate contemporary living and working while retaining the positive characteristics. The strategy tries to direct market forces to create a change in the area. For the revitalization of Aminabad, this thesis explores a methodolgy that uses five classic revitlaization strategies which suggest different priorities, modes of implementation and sources of funding. These include - conservation planning, tourism planning, residential community planning, mercantile community planning and a transit oriented plan. This thesis then develops an integrated plan which considers the congruencies and conflicts of the different strategies. It also explores implementation and management strategies for this plan. One of the concerns of this thesis is to arrive at a strategy which can be replicated in other Indian cities and locations. In real terms, this refers to the revitalization of an average c ity center with almost no external funding. |
