In our cities, are you familiar with how land use planning unfolds? Say, how is an area demarcated for residential housing? City Development Plans hold these answers, and are a great way for citizens to also engage in how their city is planned! We've been facilitating inputs from people for the upcoming Panvel Development Plan too, and the Navi Mumbai Collective team recently met with Asst. Director of Town Planning, Smt. Jyoti Kawade, to share this list of suggestions. Our latest monthly email covers it all, and more.

How might we institutionalise and scale young people's participation in urban governance? Asma, Sachin, and Roshni from Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (YUVA) outline a roadmap—from building and sustaining local collectives to enabling youth-led changemaking at various scales and bridging the gap between people and urban plans and policies. I cover all this and more in my article featuring a recent dialogue hosted by Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy: https://lnkd.in/d4vQzBMT Asma Ansari Sachin Nachnekar Roshni N. Yeesha Shriyan

"Fostering #YouthParticipation hinges on equipping them with baseline #awareness of urban plans and #policies. Forming and running youth #collectives in bastis democratically through sustained engagement has proven that people are best equipped to tackle their own challenges. Creating #SafeSpaces for and by the #youth that encourage dissent and critical thinking across spheres of family, community, city, and larger society are crucial steps forward."

‘चलो बस्ती बदले’ अभियान के तहत प्राकृतिक आधारित समाधान को लेकर हमने लल्लुभाई कंपाउंड, मानखुर्द में 'वृंदावन गार्डन' का निर्माण किया है। इस कार्यक्रम में गार्डन का उद्घाटन किया और ग्रीन वॉक का आयोजन किया गया, जिसमें बच्चों ने अपनी हरित प्रक्रिया संबंधी अनुभव और लगाएं गये पेड़-पौधे की जानकारी दी। इस हरित उपक्रम को लेकर युवा संस्था की भुमिका और अब तक कि प्रक्रिया पर हमने बात रखी। इस अभियान और हरियाली में सामुह की सहभागिता के महत्व पर भी चर्चा हुई। भविष्य में हरियाली की देखभाल की जिम्मेदारी सोसायटी द्वारा उठाने का निर्णय लिया गया है, जो स्थायित्व और सामुदायिक जिम्मेदारी को दर्शाता है। वृंदावन गार्डन का निर्माण, प्रकृति से जुड़ाव और समुदाय की शक्ति का प्रतीक है। आओ, मिलकर इस पहल का समर्थन करें और शहर को हरा-भरा बनाए। #naturebasedsolutions #peoplesparticipation

Vidhi’s Maharashtra team recently hosted the 3rd episode of their conversation series - Up the Ante, Mumbai where Yeesha Shriyan was in conversation with Roshni K.

Our guest speakers discussed countless examples of their #challenges, losses and wins candidly which inspired several audience members to share their experiences and ask pertinent questions. It was wonderful to see students from diverse backgrounds like law, public policy and health attend the session and engage in the discussion passionately #UpTheAnteMumbai #UpTheAnte #Mumbai #slums #dwellings #youth #youthparticipation Yeesha Shriyan
