The map illustrates the pan-India geographical outreach of Master Planning and Regional Planning studio exercises, reflecting academic engagement across diverse regional, urban, and ecological contexts. The studios were undertaken in multiple cities and districts including Dehradun, Nainital, Champawat, Chhatarpur, Rewa, Satna, Amarkantak, Jodhpur, Kutch, Ujjain, Alirajpur, Palghar, Wayanad, Nilgiris, Tiruppur Sub-Region, Shoranur, Shillong, Kamrup Metro and Imphal Valley.
These locations represent varied planning environments such as rapidly urbanizing cities, heritage settlements, tribal and rural regions, industrial corridors, coastal zones, hill ecosystems, and environmentally sensitive landscapes. The spatial diversity enabled comparative learning on regional development patterns, infrastructure systems, environmental challenges, resource management, and governance structures across different physiographic and socio-economic settings of India.
Through field visits, spatial analysis, stakeholder interactions, and contextual planning approaches, the studios provided hands-on exposure to multi-scalar planning practices, strengthening the ability to address region-specific development issues while integrating sustainability and resilience principles into master and regional planning frameworks.
Climate Resilient Spatial Development Plan: Gram Panchayat Perspective from Madhya Pradesh (2nd Semester Studio - 2023)
The Studio dealt with the Alirajpur District, situated in the heart of the country, which is known for its natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and vibrant communities. However, it is not immune to the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events pose significant threats to the district's ecological integrity, agricultural productivity, and the well-being of its residents.
This study draws upon scientific research, local knowledge, and participatory processes to assess the vulnerabilities of the district and propose effective adaptation and mitigation measures. Through extensive consultations, field surveys, and data analysis, it presents a comprehensive understanding of the district's climate challenges and opportunities
Climate and Water Centric Development Plan for Rewa City – 2050 (3rd Semester Studio - 2025)
Undertaken as a studio exercise, the work integrated field-based surveys, spatial analysis, and implementation-oriented planning. Primary surveys, ward-level assessments, and stakeholder consultations helped identify key urban challenges such as flooding, waterbody encroachments, sewage discharge, and declining blue-green assets. The studio developed integrated city- and ward-level strategies including lake restoration, riparian buffers, decentralized wastewater treatment, and neighbourhood green spaces, translating climate-resilient and water-sensitive planning principles into actionable urban interventions.
