| an international competition for the best research paper on india's urbanization the massachusetts institute of technology in cambridge, massachusetts, usa and the institute for financial management and research in chennai, india are jointly organizing an international competition for the best research paper on innovative responses to india's new urban challenges. the purpose of this competition is to highlight usually overlooked cases of innovation and success in response to rapid urbanization. the competition seeks to highlight cases of institutional innovation that have evolved as responses to the challenges brought about by rapid urbanization in india. while the transformations in the indian economy and polity are well documented and studied, very little work has been done in the study of the attributable institutional responses at city and state levels. these responses include some cities developing new unconventional modes of resource generation. some cities are succeeding in linking asset formation to asset maintenance. others are making progress in renewing land uses in response to economic growth pressures without hurting the urban poor. some cities have been successful in incorporating citizen participation in decision-making without unduly delaying the implementation of projects and policies. the competition anticipates that the crafting and implementation of new approaches will require planners who are not constrained by orthodox theories and ideological biases. the cultivation of such a new heterodox mindset requires new teaching material for professional education, which is the ultimate purpose of this competition. competition web site : http://hidden-successes.mit.edu/ email competition : [email protected] |
