Abstract: This study explores the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in improving residents’ livelihood and living conditions in Kumartuli, a socio-heritage site in North Kolkata, India. The present investigation aims to explore current problems and provide future direction for redeveloping existing workplaces and living units, including improvements in infrastructure such as roads, water supply, drainage, and sewerage systems. It also explores integrating bio-climate and biophilic design principles for sustainable neighborhood development in Kumartuli. GIS can enhance BIM function by providing a systematic platform for problem-solving, while BIM represents detailed community working space data. The output may provide a new venue for investigating urban planning, infrastructure management, and construction management to improve the quality of livelihood for the communities of idol makers.
