NIUA, new partner of the Urban School!

The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) and the Urban School have just signed a collaboration agreement for knowledge exchange and capacity building in the urban sector in India and France.

The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) is India’s leading national think tank on urban planning and development. As a hub for the generation and dissemination of cutting-edge research in the urban sector, NIUA seeks to provide innovative solutions to address the challenges of a fast urbanising India, and pave the way for more inclusive and sustainable cities of the future.

Under the partnership, a capstone project on 'Ecological transition through urban waterfront projects in Indian Cities' has been launched on January. Five students of the master Governing the Large Metropolis have to study 3 projects of the CITIIS program. This joint program of the Housing & Urban Affairs Ministry of India, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the European Union and NIUA is focused on building innovative, inclusive and sustainable urban infrastructure across 12 cities in India with an investment of around €140 million.

The Urban School and NIUA also wish to develop capacity building programs for the municipal functionaries, faculty exchange, internships and research fieldworks throughout this collaboration.
