Estimating Housing Infill Potential: Developing a Case for Floorspace Pooling in Ahmedabad, India
This paper demonstrates a rapid and inexpensive methodology (using minimal data) for estimating housing infill potential and develops the idea of residential floorspace pooling to deliver the infill. Estimates are based on surveying 11 km2 of the residential land in Ahmedabad. The analysis suggests that Ahmedabad has a huge potential for infill development, which could accommodate significantly more than its new housing requirements for 2031, within the existing footprint of the city. The second part of the paper discusses development of the idea of floorspace pooling as a tool to enable supply of the new housing infill floorspace in the market.
