URBAN AGE PROMENADE, DELHI, 2014
2014, Delhi, for LSE Cities
​

The Urban Age Promenade was designed to offer participants of the Urban Age conference and award in Delhi a comprehensive transect of the city. The tour explored Delhi’s diverse ecologies, including the riverbank and the ridge, as well as its varied settlement typologies such as public housing, self-built informal tenure housing, and speculative housing developments. Additionally, it provided insights into the social life of public spaces in Delhi.

Notably, the visit to Nehru Place during the tour and my explanation of its programmatic workings inspired renowned academic Richard Sennett to write a piece celebrating Nehru Place as a "Porous City."
