Design. We examine questions of contemporary urban planning and architecture globally and, of particular interest, the Indian sub-continent.

Technology. There is particular interest in the smart city given that the Indian government is coming toward the end of its ambitious 100 Smart Cities Mission.

Social Equity. Informal settlements are an area of interest but so too are broader questions of the ‘right to the city’, affordable housing and more.

Sustainability. The effects of climate change on urban planning and architectural design are central. Resilience in Asia and cities around the world is a key theme.

History. How do we preserve and conserve our architectural heritage and the cultural traditions found in our cities and neighborhoods in an age of change.

Disciplines: We welcome contributions from across sectors to reflect the diversity of themes dealt with.
