Urban Design Research Institute, Mumbai WP:AFC
The ‘’’Urban Design Research Institute’’’ is a ‘’’Mumbai-based’’’ public charitable trust dedicated to the protection of built environments and the improvement of urban communities. The ‘’’UDRI’’’ provides a forum to encourage interaction between architects, urban designers and professionals from related field like economics, sociology, planning, conservation and history. To this end, the trust organizes public lectures, exhibitions, publications, a research fellowship program and a resource center focused on the study of Mumbai. The UDRI calls itself a ‘’‘’watchdog on urban planning issues, promoting democratic values of civic participation to create a more just, livable and equitable metropolis’’.’’ The UDRI was spearheaded by eminent architect ‘’’Charles Correa’’’ who along with a group of concerned citizens set up the institute in 1984. It was originally planned as a teaching institute. In 1994 the trust was reformulated with a revised agenda to take on work related to policy that might improve the physical conditions of the city. The impact of the UDRI has been on multiple levels. Over the last 10-15 years, it has actively lobbied with the ‘’’Maharashtra government’’’ on many fronts regarding policies relating to the physical form and improvements in Mumbai based on findings through conferences and research studies. In all its efforts, be it recycling and opening up of urban land or urban conservation, the UDRI has focused on creating an inclusive environment in the city. Some of the projects the UDRI are currently focused on: evaluation and assessment of the new ‘’’Development Plan for Mumbai’’’ which is now in the process of being reformulated for 2014 to 2034; the ecological study of Mumbai’s eastern waterfront and tracing the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai Megaprojects. The UDRI is currently headed by conservation architect Pankaj Joshi, who has earlier served on the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee of the Maharashtra government. The managing trustee is lawyer Shirin Bharucha, who is involved in a number of trusts looking at urban renewal. Others on the board of trustees are Rahul Mehrotra, Anuj Bhagwati, Cyrus Guzder, Deepak Parekh, Naseer Munji, Charles Correa, Nayana Kathpalia, Jamsheed Kanga and Nana Chudasama.
