Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, is a key driver of economic and cultural influence, with a diverse landscape ranging from the Gangetic plains to the Vindhya foothills. As rapid urbanization and climate vulnerabilities intensify, integrating sustainable regional planning is crucial.
Our work in Uttar Pradesh focuses on embedding Eco City-Region principles into regional development frameworks. We support the formulation of Regional Planning Process (RfP) templates for the State Capital Region (SCR) and assist government departments in refining Storm Water Management Policy and Scheme guidelines through spatial analysis. We contribute to climate-resilient planning for small towns under the Aspiration Cities programme and integrate data-driven tools for asset management in the CM-Green Road Infrastructure Development Scheme. Additionally, we provide technical input for the Uttar Pradesh Greening Policy, ensuring an ecosystem-based approach to conserving natural habitats and biodiversity, fostering long-term resilience and sustainable growth.
