Our focus areas

Each edition focuses on urgent questions, including:

• How do climate action plans reshape urban governance?

• What are the implications for caste, class, gender, and labour in Indian cities?

• How do historical and colonial legacies influence present vulnerabilities?

• What alternative frameworks such as valuing wetlands, mangroves, and community-led initiatives can guide sustainable urban futures?

Our approach

The workshop provides a space for:

• Scholarly dialogue across disciplines, from urban studies to environmental science.

• Knowledge exchange between researchers, policymakers, and civil society actors.

• Comparative learning across Indian cities to identify common challenges.

Collaborative outputs, including publications, policy notes, and shared research networks.
