Research Overview
Delhi represents the complex intersection of rapid urbanization, environmental challenges, and health disparities. Our research focuses on two contrasting sites that illustrate different aspects of urban vulnerability and resilience.
Unauthorized colony on floodplain facing multiple climate and health challenges..
Jaitpur is an unauthorized settlement located in the O-Zone on Delhi’s floodplain, making it particularly vulnerable to flooding and environmental hazards. The community faces significant challenges related to inadequate infrastructure, poor access to healthcare, and compounded vulnerabilities based on gender, age, and identity.
Settlement adjacent to landfill with significant occupational and environmental health risks.
Bhalswa is a settlement located adjacent to one of Delhi’s major landfills, where minority communities face multiple layers of vulnerability. Residents work in waste management while living in proximity to environmental hazards, creating complex health challenges across all age groups.
