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).

A Strategic Framework for Bengaluru
Building India’s Blue-Green Network : A Strategic Framework for Bengaluru was one of the 12 projects selected for support by the Australian government through the Australia-India Council. It was implemented by McGregor Coxall in collaboration with INDE.
The project focused on understanding blue-green infrastructure, specifically in the context of Bengaluru, to develop tangible environmental strategies at both regional and local levels. These strategies established a framework and methodology for integrating the Blue-Green Network into planning processes.
The study involved GIS mapping at the regional scale and local investigations to validate the condition of these spaces within the urban fabric.
The initiative aimed to develop a framework for recognizing the significance of blue-green infrastructure in creating a resilient and habitable city. It sought to improve planning and design at all levels to achieve holistic outcomes that enhanced communities, environments, and overall quality of life. The project ultimately provided a roadmap for Bengaluru, guiding future planning and implementation from policy to action.
