Urban infrastructure encompasses the physical systems and spatial strategies that organize cities and connect communities. Designers working in this area address how buildings, networks, and landscapes can improve urban life while responding to environmental and social needs.

The community explores infrastructure through diverse lenses: embedding nature into urban form, weaving social housing into dense neighborhoods, bridging industrial and public spaces, and creating connectivity that serves both practical and cultural functions. Projects range from large-scale sustainable systems to localized interventions that strengthen community ties.

NEO-CONNECT

"People make cities & it is to them, that we must fit our plans"- Jane Jacobs Due to the urban sprawl & limited land resources, the public open spaces in the city are vanishing. We envision CP as an inclusive multi layered public utility space, which would promote community interactions & serve as an inclusive and sustainable unit for an equitable city.

Due to the need for incorporation of innovation to effectively manage services, resources and limited space, mountain cities acquire an identity that sets them apart from the cities in plains. Thus this thesis explores the idea of structuring the urban form around the natural water system to utilize the available natural features in the best possible way.

The Big Green Foot

The thought about stepping my foot into this city crammed with people and vehicles torments me every day and night bringing chills through my spine. One step towards a better place to live in is what i'm asking for; One step for a place with fresh air to breathe in; One big green step for a better city to live in. I call this step as my big green foot!
