Students from the Master of Urban Design Fall 2013 OneCity Studio are in Mumbai participating in research and workshops to complete the conceptualization, planning and design of a housing-intensive development project.

The Mumbai urban design research studio takes the geological age of Anthropocene as a call to re-imagine the terms and possibilities of housing in Mumbai. Drawing from work in the humanities, including Subaltern Studies, post-colonial theory and recent historical work directly engaging with geology and climate, the studio explores housing strategies specific to Mumbai as a global place. The usual terms of coding urban specificity – defined within a logic of development and financing – are reviewed and set aside.
