The case study of Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, showcases the Jaga Mission's innovative approach to urban development, emphasizing community engagement and empowerment. The formation of Slum Dwellers Associations at the ward level signifies a concerted effort to improve quality of life within Urban Local Bodies. However, traditional community participation methods often prove ineffective. Therefore, the research advocates for Tactical Placemaking—a participatory approach that involves residents in shaping urban spaces. By fostering collaboration between residents and authorities, Tactical Placemaking can address the challenges posed by informal settlements, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and well-managed urban development.
