Book of Abstracts, Annual Research on Cities Summit (ARCS) 7.0

Annual Research on Cities Summit (ARCS) is an annual Conference organized by the School of Human Settlements, XIM University, to share research and experience on the planning and management of human settlements and urbanization in India. Current understandings of the conditions of cities, towns, and peripheries and their functioning and development processes are minimal and partial, presenting a key challenge for effective intervention. ARCS aims to stimulate the creation and facilitate the exchange of knowledge to develop safe, sustainable, and just settlements.
