As part of collaboration between School of Planning and Architecture
(SPA), New Delhi and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, students of SPA from various planning
disciplines were supported by experts from both organisations to conduct
research on inclusive urbanization in India. In an exhibition organised by
GIZ and SPA, these students will showcase their work and enter into
dialogues with urban professionals and the interested public.
Urban Samvaad (Samvaad means Dialogue in Hindi) is an interactive and
dialogue-oriented exhibition. Visitors will get an opportunity to engage
with various facets of urbanization such as transport, slum settlements,
energy consumption, and public toilets, and discuss strategies to make
cities more inclusive and sustainable. The exhibition also aims at
initiating dialogue on how to educate and mentor urban professionals of
the future to enable and equip them well to handle Indias urban
challenges.
