The challenge

Indian cities face an uphill battle with managing urban development due to rapid urban growth, deepening environmental degradation and climate change. Government cannot solve this alone. This nation-wide challenge requires greater societal engagement from us all as urban residents. 

Yet, currently, engaged citizens face many hurdles in understanding the sector, accessing technical knowledge and navigating the opaque governance systems. This results in a lot of wasted time and resources. To solve the civic and environmental issues at scale, we need ‘Active Citizens’ in every neighbourhood & civic literacy in every home! The question is - how do we support and encourage citizens in their journey toward Active Citizenship?​

Air pollution
‘20 out of 30 most polluted cities in the world are in India’

Water pollution
‘India had world’s highest pollution-related deaths in 2019’

Flooding
‘September floods in Bengaluru due to rains cost the city 225 crores’

Waste management crisis
‘India’s waste management crisis is the elephant in the room’
