INDIA URBAN LAB
RANCHI WORKSHOP
The India Urban Lab (IUL) is an endeavour to collaborate with communities, institutions, organizations, individuals, and governments to debate, discuss and arrive at solutions addressing “wicked problems” experienced by rapidly urbanizing geographies in India. The lab aims to initiate positive change across geographies through collaboration. The previous labs were conducted in Bengaluru (2015) and in Goa (2018). The next lab in the series will be conducted in Ranchi in July 2022.
With a thematic focus on water resilience, the upcoming Lab at Ranchi Lab will comprise of expert lectures, group discussions, site visits, and hands-on workshops to encourage innovative and multi-disciplinary perspectives to emerge.
The Ranchi Urban Lab anchors itself in the conceptual philosophy of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) and Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) to promote water resilience at the regional, city-settlement, and settlement scales. The Lab aspires to become a platform for participants from diverse backgrounds to co-produce water resilient approaches and solutions that combine traditional knowledge and lived experiences at the grass root level with policy and technical knowledge.
The Ranchi Urban Lab is organised by INDE in collaboration with Mahila Housing Trust (MHT).

Community Demonstration Project : Mubarakpur Dabas and Bakkarwala JJ Colony
The AIWASI CDP aimed to improve water security and livability for two disadvantaged communities in Delhi, aligning with Water Sensitive City (WSC) principles and Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) frameworks.
With a strong focus on women and girls, this initiative demonstrated community-level visions, priorities, and plans. It established joint accountability mechanisms and implemented Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) pilot projects through participatory decision-making involving key stakeholders.
The project functioned as a ‘living laboratory’, showcasing sustainable, triple bottom-line outcomes in terms of environmental sustainability, social well-being, security, and economic resilience. The initiative was carried out in collaboration with World Resources Institute (WRI), McGregor Coxall (McGC), National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), and Mahila Housing SEWA Trust (MHT) India.
