Sustainable urban design in India
Sustainable urban design in India
Over 54% of the world’s population resides in informal settlements popularly known as slums. As a result, there has been a massive worldwide push for their redevelopment. But what replaces them must be sustainable.
This talk focuses on the effects of housing design on energy use and health, and is in response to the current crisis of COVID-19 where the burden is disproportionate among this cohort of population.
