The talk explored how water-sensitive urban planning and urban design can help reimagine our cities, offering a mix of vibrant public spaces along with an enhanced ecological network. Using the revitalisation of the Patna Riverfront along the Ganga as a key example, the talk delved into how the project was implemented incrementally from 2014 to 2019 and focused on key learnings of the initiative, including a stronger understanding of citywide hydrology, its locational parameters in the larger watershed and design approaches that enable a series of transformations at the local level.
