About
India’s rapid urbanization is reshaping the country’s economic, social, and environmental landscape. As cities emerge as engines of growth and innovation, they also face pressing challenges such as housing shortages, traffic congestion, environmental degradation, inadequate infrastructure, climate risks, waste management, and growing socio-economic inequalities. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires integrated urban planning, effective governance, evidence-based policymaking, and inclusive development strategies that create cities which are sustainable, resilient, and equitable for all.
This program explores the intersection of urban development, planning, governance, and public policy, examining how institutions, financing, infrastructure, climate resilience, housing, mobility, and citizen participation shape the future of cities. Through expert-led discussions and contemporary case studies, participants will gain insights into the principles and practices of sustainable urban development, the evolving policy landscape, and innovative approaches to building inclusive, liveable, and climate-resilient cities. By fostering informed dialogue and multidisciplinary perspectives, the program equips participants to better understand India’s urban transformation and contribute to creating cities that are people-centric, environmentally sustainable, and economically vibrant.
For Whom
This programme is designed for students, researchers, urban planners, architects, policymakers, government officials, development and NGO professionals, academicians, and individuals interested in urban planning, governance, infrastructure, housing, sustainability, and public policy. It is ideal for anyone seeking to understand the opportunities and challenges of urban development and the evolving urban policy landscape in India.
