Chapel Street, Bandra
Walking through the streets of Mumbai is an intense experience with every excursion being an adventure of its own.
For most people in the city, walking is a banal activity, something they hardly think twice about. However, during the last one month with URBZ, taking a walk through various neighbourhoods in the city has [...]]]></description>

We have for long opposed the reality of the city to that of the  village. However, my observations in Dharavi, a large unplanned  neighbourhood in the centre of Mumbai, which is the most populated city  in the world, tell me that they have more in common than is commonly  acknowledged.

This was part of a course taught by URBZ members Rahul and Matias on the politics of urban space. The studio took place [...]]]></description>

Public spaces are sacrosanct in urban planning rhetoric and embody a range of virtues—from the community to the commons, from equality to inclusive citizenship. What constitutes a public space, however, is often a point of contention
Shopping malls, plazas, sidewalks, parks, museums, pedestrian pathways, flea markets, [...]]]></description>
