BASIIC  programmes had triggered an aspirational dream in the institution to streamline the concepts of inclusion into the urban ecosystem. The workshop, designed to disseminate the learning so far, will also help seek prospective collaborations to further strengthen the work on inclusion both for knowledge creation and implementation support to cities. This will in turn support the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to mainstream inclusion in making a more accessible, safe, and sustainable New India for all.

Since 2019, BASIIC programme established at NIUA (with support from FCDO, UK Government) has promulgated the tenets of universal access, inclusivity, and safety in the ethos of urban planning and design through policy level interventions, capacity building, research and institutional partnership, technical assistance with city specific solutions, and formulation of robust monitoring systems to build cities for all. This workshop will be one of its kind events to disseminate the learnings so far and further strengthen the work on inclusion both for knowledge and creation and implementation support to cities.

Through the discussions in the technical sessions, we aim to take forward the agenda of mainstreaming inclusion into India’s urban future. The panel discussions are curated to initiate thought provoking discussions and understand the different perspectives of various stakeholders. The workshop aims to advocate “Inclusion” in thought and practice to empower the marginalised groups to be active contributors to the country’s socio-economic growth.It will also showcase the established ecosystem within the quadruple helix with national and international partners.  

Event link will be shared post completing the registration.
