Walkability Block Perimeter
 Transit Points

Locating available transit points such as BRTS Stations, Drop off Points, Metro Stations and AMTS bus stations, if applicable along
with Auto Rickshaw Stands, in the selected precinct, thus being able to calculate the probable walkability index of the precinct
chosen.

Producing schematic section of the same through sketches, Visuals, Graphics, etc.
 Street Permeability
Taking up
different chunks
of street
throughout the
precinct,
identifying Built
and Open,
Residential, Non
Residential, and
Porosity of that
particular chunk,
thereby locating
that place on
the map of
Ahmedabad city
as well along
with a key plan
of the selected
precinct.
 Link-Node Density

Demarcation of Nodes (Crossroads) and streets as per sizes, any other transit services if applicable for e.g. Metro, Railway Tracks etc.
 Photo Montage

Photos of street and Buildings of varying heights to show overall character of the street, Laying over any important building if it comes in
the nearby proximity of the street chosen. Marking out any important places, features, factors affecting overall functioning of the place and
noting down those features in form of call-outs.
 Sectional Views and Isometric Views

Depictive 3D Visualisation of the selected street patch, along with influential areas marked on the street’s photograph, along with a
Section of the same street (N.T.S.)
 3D Model

Differences in Colour Combination as per Building Height, Basic Roads and Bridges to be Shown along with Metro Rail (If Applicable)
