Apply now for the Hyderabad workshop in India: Water and metropolitanisation

At the request of the Government of Telangana and the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation and with the support from the French Agency for Development (AFD) and the French Embassy in India, Les Ateliers is organizing an international urban planning workshop in Hyderabad, India. Experts in urban ecosystems, hydrology, economics, landscape, ecology, urban planning, architecture, sociology, engineering, history, anthropology,... from all over the world: please apply!

Hyderabad, one of India’s fastest-growing megacities is the thriving capital of India’s Telangana state. A racially, ethnically, socially, and linguistically diverse city, Hyderabad is a hub of trade and commerce and an international centre for knowledgebased industries such as Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, and Information Technology.

Hyderabad was a bioclimatic city at its inception. Its water architecture enabled a green and livable microclimate in an otherwise hot and dry climate. Over the past two decades, these water bodies and their associated ecosystems have shrunk immensely under the tremendous strain of rapid urbanisation, demographic growth, and diverse sources of pollution.

What is the path forward to bring about a true ecological, social and functional renaissance of its water systems? Can the Musi river regeneration project launched by the State serve as a catalyst to holistically restore Hyderabad’s water quality and heritage?

The workshop aims to provide the local authorities with innovative and actionable approaches to sustainably manage Hyderabad’s explosive growth and depleting natural resources through a combination of visionary leadership and community engagement.
