Faculty: Mercy Samuel

The studio will expose the students to the legislative and administrative civic structure and systems governing a city for efficient service delivery. The scale of exploration can be a micro unit within the city which can be a municipal ward for big cities or a city itself in case of small cities. Students will develop an understanding of municipal services, rules, policies and acts governing the same. The students are required to study urban schemes, missions, and programs in the ecosystem of Municipal Management along with the 74th Amendment and the State Municipal Act. The teaching modules would also cover decision making tools like Sensitivity Analysis, Scenario Building, and GIS for managers. The studio is required to be conducted with support from the Municipal Corporation or Municipality as applicable for the study.
