LIVING FOOTPRINTS Sustainability and traditional wisdom[ ]


The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the reality. During this time of crisis, we are relying upon old tradition wisdoms of using Turmeric, tulsi, and hot water for sustainability. No wonder, even in the technologically modern 21st century, solutions can be found in olden times. Navaghrah, Navseeds, Ayurveda and yoga belong to ancient times and there is so much to learn from it. What is sustainability - is it livable conditions, is it safe comfortable conditions, is it old living methods, or is it modernization/urbanization.

Sustainable Development Goals and Their Incorporation in Urban Planning[ ]


Over the years, the world’s population living in cities or urban centres has been rising steadily. As the world is rapidly urbanizing, urbanization is becoming an unstoppable phenomenon in India too. At the same time, urbanization is perceived to be correlated with pollution, congestion and inferior quality of life. Also, within the context of unplanned or poorly governed urbanization, cities are often characterized by stark socioeconomic inequalities, social exclusion, extreme poverty, high unemployment, slums, unaffordable and inadequate housing, and poor environment situations as well as unsustainable environmental footprints. Urban centres will be increasingly crucial for accomplishing all sustainable development goals (SDGs) and incorporating the social, economic and environmental goals set forth in the 2030 Agenda.
