The document summarizes the key features of a proposed public housing development in Ahmedabad, India. It will include 930 total housing units across row houses, flats, and multi-unit buildings covering over 1.5 million square meters. While focusing on individual unit design, there is less consideration given to community amenities and site-level planning. The housing is intended for low-income groups but does not include provisions for shopping, transportation, or vegetation. Drawings provide details on the unit sizes and layouts across the different housing typologies.
