SAI Urbanization Seminar: “Urbanization in South Asia”

On Monday, October 17, the Harvard South Asia Institute will present an urbanization seminar entitled “Urbanization in South Asia: Conversations from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.” This panel, listed below, brings together three urban scholars and practitioners from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and it deals with the contemporary challenges facing rapid urbanization in South Asia. This panel presents a unique opportunity to have a cross-cutting conversation across South Asian countries to both situate their planning experiences in their specific contexts, but to also ask if there are any commonalities about the South Asian urban experience. It is also a chance to learn about design and planning practices from across neighboring boundaries.
