The ninth edition of Urban ARC, the Indian Institute for Human Settlements’ Annual Research Conference happened from 16 to 18 January 2025. This year’s theme is ‘Urban Transitions’.
On the first day, Kavita Wankhade, the Project Director of TNUSSP, was part of a panel titled, ‘Urban Transitions in Practice: Reflections from a Large-Scale Sanitation Programme’.

The discussion centred around this year’s Urban Arc theme ‘Urban Transitions’, in the context of reflections from implementing a large-scale Practice programme like the Tamil Nadu Urban Sanitation Support Programme (TNUSSP), one of the largest public SDG6 (clean water and sanitation) interventions in the world.
Along with Kavita Wankhade, Adriana Allen from the University College London, Edgar Pieterse from the University of Cape Town, Geetika Anand from IIHS, and Colin Marx from the University College London, were a part of the panel as well.

This year’s IIHS Urban ARC had over 1100 people attending the conference online and in person. There were 44 participants for the PhD workshop, 56 papers for Urban ARC, in addition to over 80 paper presenters.
