S04 | E02: Zeroing In with Prof. Geetam Tiwari | On City Planning and Routes to Engineering a MegaCity

City life is a complex and intricate experience that we all navigate in our own ways. Our daily routines, shortcuts, and familiar routes give us a sense of familiarity and belonging in the cities we call home. In fact, that is how we sometimes substantiate our claims for having actually experienced a city. And for each new place you’d move to, you’d do this all over again, and then call it your own.

But what does it take to chart this out from zero— to build the map of a city from scratch, and plan for all of these intricate, and inherently chaotic scenarios, that touch and actually shape human lives on a very everyday basis, and in turn define a human settlement?

Here’s a sneak peek of our beautiful journey of discussing these questions and much more with an expert from the field, Prof. Geetam Tiwari a distinguished civil engineer. Her expertise and experiences will offer invaluable insights into the planning, building, and evolution of cities, and the ways in which they shape human civilization. Join us for this exciting exploration of the origins and evolution of our urban landscapes from a scientific and technological perspective.
