Fiona Fernandez: Wake up the neighbourhood

<p>Diverse neighbourhoods, Ballard Estate and Khotachiwadi, thrust into the spotlight</p>
Last week, two different parts of the city were thrust into the spotlight, and for all the right reasons. Ballard Estate and Khotachiwadi have remained integral to the landscape of a city of contrasting styles and character, and hence it was refreshing to see these neighbourhoods come into public eye.
A group focused on urban heritage had organised a three-day workshop in Khotachiwadi to assess and relook at the space. A host of ideas emerged from the discussions by students, lay folk, and planners. At the other end, Ballard Estate will throw open its broad, well-planned roads and sidewalks to an annual cultural festival, starting this week.
