High-density policies are often weaponised: they normalise sub-standard housing, reinforce social hierarchies, silence protests, and erode urban ecology. Who does it really serve? Read our editorial for our latest edition here. #urbanplanning questionofcities.org/why-are-we-pus…
Cities are densifying fast. High density can bring benefits: shorter commutes, higher productivity, and lower carbon footprints. But in India, its social & ecological costs are rarely examined. Read our editorial for our latest edition here. #urbanplanning questionofcities.org/why-are-we-pus…
High-density cities are often framed as “efficient” and “sustainable.” But in India, crammed towers and disappearing open spaces show a different story: inequality, ecological strain, housing squeezed for the poor. questionofcities.org/why-are-we-pus…
From slum rehabilitation towers that cram families to elite colonies with space to breathe, density defines Indian cities. But is it making them fairer or more unequal? Our latest edition unpacks this and more. Drops today. Stay tuned. #Cities #Density #QuestionofCities
Who owns the future of Indian #cities? Politicians, builders, and private developers, or the people who live and work in them? Read this essay by Dr Tathagata Chatterji. #Privatisation questionofcities.org/from-public-go…
#Gurgaon shows the new model of Indian urbanism: condos, corporate towers, and gated enclaves; while workers are pushed to the margins. Land, once a public good, has now moved to private control, writes Dr Tathagata Chatterji. questionofcities.org/from-public-go…
#Kolkata is dismantling 150 years of trams to monetise depot land. We are seeing a shift towards short-term fiscal gains trump long-term public interest. What do we lose in this pursuit? Read this essay by Tathagata Chatterji #privatisation questionofcities.org/from-public-go…
#Publicland once meant schools, transport depots, and parks. Today, it’s leased to developers for malls and condos. Who really gains? Read this essay by Tathagata Chatterji #Privatisation #Mumbai #Delhi questionofcities.org/from-public-go…
From mixed-use mohallas to gated enclaves, Indian #cities have turned land into a commodity. This is fueling #exclusion and making cities more unequal. What is to be done? Read Dr Tathagata Chatterji’s essay. questionofcities.org/from-public-go…
What happens when private providers dominate #healthcare, but regulation is fragmented & weak? Cities inherit health systems where maximising profit trumps universal care, deepening inequality. Read @r_friebel’s essay to know more. questionofcities.org/how-healthcare…
Universal health care on paper. Private profit in practice. From #AyushmanBharat in India to county hospitals in Nairobi, public systems are being hollowed out. Read how in @r_friebel’s essay questionofcities.org/how-healthcare…
#Privatisation is not just about hospitals; it reshapes who gets treated, who gets left waiting, and who can’t afford to fall sick. In many LMIC cities, regulation is too weak to stop profit trumping public health, unpacks @r_friebel questionofcities.org/how-healthcare…
