Placemaking India

Transforming Public Spaces in India

Public spaces shape how we live and connect—yet many communities across India lack welcoming environments.

Placemaking India is a community-driven program transforming public spaces—from urban heat islands to cultural districts and rural areas—into vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable places. Our projects directly respond to local needs, addressing challenges such as heat resilience in Ahmedabad, rural sanitation in Tamil Nadu, and heritage revitalization in Madhya Pradesh, while prioritizing ecological resilience through green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, exemplified by initiatives like Jharkhand’s Orion Park.

Community-Centered Action

We strategically engage communities, offering expert guidance and resources to transform public spaces. Our proactive partnerships ensure meaningful participation and sustained outcomes.
