Sustainable habitat assessment planning evaluation ;Design: Development criteria by Deepika Shetty

The judges’ comments have been very encouraging. I have added the map of the area to be surveyed and population distribution as the icon of the project to explain the extent of the work involved. Also this set up would be developed through the project as an independent research and consultancy lab with the support of the university to do such works and will have independent identity. This set up would relate to regional appraisal as well as defining related design proposal master-plans. The university has around 50 academicians with architecture, planning and product design background and over 750-800 students of graduate and post graduate studies in architecture and urban design. The constant interaction between academics and research would be mutually beneficial and practical. This would also make the consultancy politically neutral, fair and socially beneficial.
