Hi Anurag, in my view there should be an approach paper and tentative titles of sessions with 3-4 speakers per session.1-There should be proper gender balance on the stage.2-Case studies/projects from abroad, which are doable here can be included.3-Karol Bagh is an excellent idea!4-One scheme of lake front development can be included. (Rameshwar?)5-Abhimanyu could be requested to present the DUAC.6-Case studies for inner city renewal.
7-Public transport related UD.8-Conservation and historic Public Spaces.9-City culture and UD.10-These are a few suggestions. Manoj, congrats for this great effort!🙏🏼 am ready for more!Best, KT.Sent from my iPhoneHi Everyone,
I was having a chat with Manoj about preparations for the Kollam event. He is working hard at putting what is a complicated event together and hopes to get some idea of timelines firmed up soon.
In the meantime, the search for speakers and presentations is still open. Manoj is planning on 10-12 presentations of 20-25 minutes each on live, in progress or recently completed UD projects. Besides this , there will be a couple of keynote or major speakers. The finalising of speakers and program will be a parallel exercise as both will feed of each other.
Please help with suggestions and follow up on likely speakers. The quicker the better.
I had earlier suggested that we should invite the Karol Bagh pedestrianisation project to be one of the short presentations. Any other ideas ? ideally, we should have a mix of scales of intervention, geographical and cultural distribution and possibly both Govt and private sector funded/managed interventions.
Hoping to hear from you all soon. Im sure manoj will greatly appreciate it if besides suggesting someone, you also help with follow up. I don’t yet know much about the funding of presenters, or even if they will be funded. I am sure manoj is looking at that.
Thank You
