[Urbanstudy] Unpacking Place: 2-day course offered by IIHS and Hyderabad Urban Lab on April 11 & 12

[anant maringanti]

Taught by Anant Maringanti , Gautam Bhan, Prasad Shetty and Swastik

What exactly is ‘place’ – say a neighbourhood in a city? How does one know
its boundaries? Have boundaries vanished in a world where everything is
interconnected through data flows? What lies beneath and between layers of
history that make up the place? How do these layers change over time? Are
places immutable? Can they change randomly? What laws govern this change?

This intensive two day workshop will give learners two tools – maps and
stories – to enter, read, understand and unpack a place in a city. The
specific neighbourhood chosen for the course is Bholakpur, a historic
neighbourhood in Hyderabad which has emerged as a scrap market over the
last 25 years. In exploring Bholakpur through maps and stories, learners
will address three thematics – land, labour and waste.
