Welcome Note

For me, CityLab is a chance to ask deeper questions about how cities can become more livable, equitable, and inclusive. Placemaking is not just about design or infrastructure, it’s about fostering trust, safety, and belonging for all residents. I am curious about how we can address challenges like access to healthcare, safe public spaces, and social cohesion through collaborative city building.

As someone who has founded Sudha Setu, a social impact initiative bridging healthcare and livelihood gaps in India, I want to use CityLab to sharpen my perspective on community-driven solutions. My career goal is to become a leader in placemaking, working at the intersection of policy, design, and health equity.
