While massive urbanization is broadly accepted as one of the grand challenges of our times, few realize that most of that urban growth, according to the UN World Urbanization Prospects, will take place not in the megacities of the world like Mumbai or New York, but in the vast numbers of small and mid-sized towns of fast growing nations. Prof. Vikram Prakash of UW College of Built Environments, has been taking studios to Chandigarh, India for the last few years to study how this iconic modernist city is responding to the pressures of globalization. As one of India’s fastest growing mid-sized cities (population 1.8 million), Chandigarh today is facing development challenges – managing growth, transit, sustainable development – of the kinds that we are very familiar with in Seattle. Of comparable size, Seattle and Chandigarh, are kindred ‘sister’ cities of the future that potentially have much to offer, and learn from, each other.
Join VIA Architecture for VIAVOX: Chandigarh 2.0 where we will discuss the possibilities of an urban dialogue across Seattle and Chandigarh, with a presentation by Dr. Prakash followed by open discussion.
Please RSVP to Racheal Bellinger by 10/22 to rbellinger@via-architecture.com.

This discussion can't come soon enough. We should start addressing the issues that come with the rise of urbanization and develop the best strategy to facilitate this transition.
The issues associated with urbanization and rapid growth. Without proper planning for infrastructure potential problems will arise down the road and they will be very difficult to correct at that point. A well planned transition should alleviate these potential problems.
