Indian Urban Futures 4
AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE HOMES:
Where could India and England collaborate?
The fourth in the series of Indian Urban Futures events took place on October 12th 2021, the second day of the Bristol Housing Festival. The expert group of 14 panellists were based in Hong Kong and Mumbai, Tirunelveli and Chennai in Tamilnadu, Southern India, Bristol, London and Newcastle.
The nine presentations considered the issues of how to make housing both affordable and sustainable, where to build new housing to minimise environmental impacts, and what could be done to create effective partnerships with investors. Both Bristol and Tirunelveli are both expanding university towns with high levels of housing demand.
You can watch edited recordings of all nine Presentations in sequence here or access individual recordings and pdfs from the table below.
