#Mumbai is losing its commons. Maidans, parks, and promenades are being eaten up by "public projects." What kind of future does a city have without shared open spaces? Alan Abraham unpacks in his essay. questionofcities.org/the-shrinking-… @BombayGreenway @AJARCHITECTSS #PublicCommons

Lakhs of houses lie vacant, while affordable homes fall short. Nearly half of PMAY-Urban homes remain unoccupied. Cities can’t be built on inflated land prices alone - governments must step in. Read: questionofcities.org/public-housing… #EqualCities #LandUse

#Privatisation has become synonymous with development and more important than democratic values. As a result, land use has become highly discriminatory and exclusionary of people’s needs and rights. questionofcities.org/overturning-a-…

I’m sorry for being angry but we’ve driven away hundreds of HUMAN BEINGS from Delhi NCR for being “Bangladeshi”, and reduced their disappearance to a “garbage collection problem” and now we invoke nationality to protect dogs??
