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).

Creating and Nurturing Transnational Climate-Aware Knowledge Network
Supported by Frontiers Champions Programme, the Transnational Climate-aware Knowledge Network (TCaKN) brings together partners across the Indian subcontinent, working in the larger sphere of climate change and climate action, at the intersection of unprecedented urbanization, escalating fragmentation of natural ecologies, attendant biodiversity loss and changing climates.
It foregrounds the cumulative impact on the poor and the marginalized reiterating the need for spatial and environmental justice and focuses on collaborative working as the way forward in resolving the wicked natured problem. The Indian subcontinent shares a rich socio-cultural history and a high degree of homogeneity in the challenges faced by the region - whether urbanization trends, contribution to global GHG emissions or vulnerability to climate events, despite several nuances and contextualism.
The TCaKN is envisaged as a knowledge network that holds an intentional space for cross learning, co production and ultimately transnational collaboration.
