A city-based design practice has won a prestigious award for innovatively re-imagining Maulana Shaukat Ali Road as a public space that fosters everyday activities and livelihoods

Island view of Maulana Shaukat Ali Road as re-designed by the firm
The ear-piercing honking, the sight of mouth-watering delicacies, a swish of wooden carts loaded with goods and a horde of people passing by - you`ll never know what you`ll run into on Maulana Shaukat Ali Road. Once the hotbed of the Khilafat movement, and named after its leader and freedom fighter Maulana Shaukat Ali, referring to the stretch as busy is an understatement. But Mad(e) in Mumbai, an architecture, urban design and landscape consultancy firm founded by Kalpit Ashar and Mayuri Sisodia, has a plan of action - one which has recently won them the You and Your Neighbourhood Jury Award organised by the Charles Correa Foundation.
