Critical analysis
Spending my earlier years in the suburbs of Mumbai, India I have always been curious about the urban fabric of the city and how its development adheres to the need of all population sects. My Interest in understanding urban dynamics continued through my undergraduate years at
the University of Mumbai’s architecture program wherein I
learned about the essentials of designing a building and its relationship to its context and environment.
Hence through my experiences and education in both
the field of Planning and Architecture I wish to create
healthier, equitable and resilient cities. Channel my passion for spatial planning to reinvigorate spaces with
the new zest of life.
