Infrastructure Project Studio

Infrastructure project studio will focus on Water-Sanitation system. Development activities for different infrastructure sectors whether in public or private domain, involve plan preparation, project formulation and implementation. Often the absence of a comprehensive city wide plan and an inadequate understanding /attention to inter- sectoral issues in water and sanitation, results in poor project formulation. It is possible to improve on this by developing a comprehensive city/region water and sanitation plan approach at city level. This is accompanied by appropriate technical and financial analysis and leads to selection of appropriate projects. This lab exercise aims to equip students of this wider understanding of plan formulation process and tools and techniques of project identification for service performance improvements. Within urban infrastructure, it focuses on water supply and sanitation.
