Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu, a state with a rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes, faces growing challenges in managing peri-urban expansion and climate vulnerabilities. Balancing economic growth with sustainable urban development is crucial for long-term resilience.

Our work in Tamil Nadu focuses on developing implementation frameworks for sustainable urban management in peri-urban areas, ensuring climate change risk reduction and adaptation at the district level. We conduct comprehensive mapping to dynamically monitor and track changes in peri-urban regions, enabling data-driven decision-making. By integrating spatial insights with policy frameworks, we support the state in fostering resilient, well-planned urban transitions that mitigate environmental risks while promoting sustainable growth.
