Join us for a conversation with Sanjeev Vidyarthi, a professor of city design in the department of urban planning and policy at the University of Illinois Chicago. He will discuss interim findings from an ongoing, long-term project studying who is building cities in contemporary India and how. Employing a pragmatist approach, the talk will share broad outlines of a sub-project that seeks to explore the nature and scope of practices leading architects and urban designers are innovating to engage with the rapidly growing ranks of India’s city-builders such as state institutions, public agencies, emergent entrepreneurs, real-estate developers, place-based communities, moneyed individuals, and religious movements.
