Process

HUDA Market demonstrates a unique phenomenon, where shopkeepers expand and contract their shop boundaries throughout the day to increase sales. Our initial few visits to the Market have involved a Place Quality Analysis and an in-depth understanding of the Market’s building structure and people-place dynamics. The project is currently in progress - if you live near Sector 56, Gurgaon, watch out for our community engagement exercises and please take our survey below!
