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).

Study of 10 villages in meghalaya
The study aimed to develop development plans for ten villages in Meghalaya, located in the Khasi Hills on remote mountain tops with very limited access to public infrastructure. As part of this project, each village was analyzed based on its social fabric and physical structure. Based on site inferences, INDE recognized that introducing these villages to the tourism industry required a carefully designed approach to prevent the indiscriminate disruption of their ecologically and socially fragile local fabric.
The proposed projects ensured that the embedded linkages of individual villages were connected to the larger regional context in terms of administration, ecology, and historical evolution. The investment plan identified specific projects and programs to strengthen existing cultural, livelihood, and social linkages while using tourism as a catalyst. INDE conducted the study as a consultant to iDeck, with funding provided by the Meghalaya Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation.
