Project aims bridging the spatial gap and cultural disconnect between core city and Patto area through creation of cultural cum recreational hub in Patto and along Rua de Ourem creek with focus on youth and tourists.
Patto area with contemporary administrative and commercial developments is largely deserted after office hours, isolating it from core city. These two islands are proposed to be bridged to complement each other (core city will get more open spaces and Patto area gets footfalls after office hours).Abandoned creek side kiosks and walkways are proposed to be revived as promenade with creek side cafes. Patto cultural zone would be developed on PPP basis for organizing events and festival during weekends and evenings. Goa centre of art, culture and skill development would be developed with involvement of private sector for promotion of art, crafts, yoga, culture and microenterprises with focus on skill training and entrepreneurship opportunities for urban poor.
