CRUA has been created at ISEC, recognizing the need for research on urban policy so that they translate into tangible urban reform outcomes and for integrated and interdisciplinary research to be conducted in the urban context with the forthcoming challenges. The Centre focuses on understanding the science of managing cities in the context of emerging challenges and competition in new research to maintain innovativeness.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">The Centre has expertise in the field of urban development, regional policy and growth, urban environment, urban finances, urban governance, with the faculty in the Centre having extensively worked and published several books and papers on urban issues and are internationally renowned.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Goal And Mission<\/span><\/h5><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">The goal is to make CRUA a centre of excellence in Urban Studies with the aim to develop sustainable solutions to urban concerns and policy frameworks at various levels of urban governance.<\/span><\/p><h5 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Research Perspectives<\/span><\/h5><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Keeping in view the overall focus on Urban Studies, CRUA\u2019s themes of focus are as follows:<\/span><\/p><h5 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Themes<\/span><\/h5><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">We focus on certain themes which are of policy relevance for urban and regional development&#8211;urbanization and economic growth, regional and gender disparities, urban poverty, evaluation of basic urban services such as sanitation, urban governance, and urban environmental sustainability. Cutting edge research has been published by faculty of the Centre as it relates to land use regulations which has been extensively discussed and debated in academic and policy circles in the country. Some proposed themes to be focused by the Centre\u2019s research are elaborated below.<\/span><\/p><ul><li><h5 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Urban Development and Policy<\/span><\/h5><\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Pioneering work has been done by faculty of the Centre with internationally well-renowned economists regarding the effects of urban planning in Indian cities. Urban planning has impacts on urban form, as well as impacts the city\u2019s spatial size, both of which have been the focus of the faculty\u2019s research thus far. This has drawn the attention of policy makers nationally and multilateral funding agencies such as the ADB and the World Bank. Current work of the faculty focuses on understanding the urban form of Indian cities and urban primacy.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><ul><li><h5 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Urban Environment<\/span><\/h5><\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Urban environment aims to understand how human beings and environment can coexist in human-dominated systems and help societies with their efforts to become more sustainable. As studies in the Indian urban context are limited, CRUA will focus on this theme with specific reference to water and sanitation, waste management, climate change in cities with a view to making them sustainable.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><ul><li><h5 align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Urban Finances<\/span><\/h5><\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Extensive research has been done by faculty of the Centre with respect to urban finances, given the poor condition of city finances in India\u2019s cities. Research of the Centre on the role of land as a financing tool in India\u2019s cities, has been acknowledged in important policy documents of the Government of India. Research of the Centre will continue to focus on this important area, in view of the huge investment requirements of financing cities in India and globally.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><ul><li><h5 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300; font-family: Calibri;\">Urban Governance<\/span><\/h5><\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Under the theme of urban governance we will focus on aspects related to urban institutions, structures, programs, policies and related challenges such as how policy applies differentially to gender in urban areas. We will also address the issues concerning data availability and access, quality of data to enable and identify the lacunas. This would aid in establishing specific requirements in this arena and need for establishing databases for better decision making. We will explore the role of technology in improving governance with GIS, big data in the fore. We intend to work closely with the government to understand their requirements so as to influence policy decisions.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d785e83 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d785e83\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-74cce47\" data-id=\"74cce47\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academic Centers Centre for Research in Urban Affairs (CRUA) The Institute for Social &amp; Economic Change established the Centre for Research in Urban Affairs in March 2014, keeping in view the growing challenges with more than half of the world\u2019s population starting to live in urban areas in 2007; this is a unique part of&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/centre-for-research-in-urban-affairs\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Centre for Research in Urban Affairs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8780","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8780"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9937,"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8780\/revisions\/9937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/103.154.2.116\/~max233devisec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
