Скачать или смотреть Why Indian Urban Planning Still Treats Nature as an Obstacle

In Indian cities, nature is often seen as a problem to remove, not a system to work with. Rivers are straightened, lakes are filled, trees are cut, hills are flattened, and wetlands are paved — all in the name of development and speed.

This mindset has shaped Indian urban planning for decades, and the consequences are now impossible to ignore: floods, heatwaves, water scarcity, pollution, and collapsing ecosystems.

In this video, we explain:

Why Indian planning treats nature as an obstacle instead of infrastructure
How rivers, lakes, forests, and soil were erased from city plans
The colonial and post-colonial planning mindset behind this approach
Why hard concrete solutions keep failing
How ignoring nature increases disaster risk
What nature-based urban planning actually looks like
Nature does not block development. It supports it.

If Indian cities want to survive climate change, they must stop fighting nature and start designing with it.
