AHMEDABAD: Experts who gathered to discuss the Walled City's bid for a World Heritage City status with visiting ICOMOS expert Dr Adel Farhangi Shabestari, said in unison that the Walled City needs to be transformed into a "happy and vibrant" ecosystem. This they said was important for the progression and well-being of the 604-year-old Ahmedabad and its people. Dr Shabestari, however, voiced concerns over certain portions of the Walled City core that were frequently punctuated with shops, while other portions preserved the old world charm.
