The Symposium will bring together researchers, policymakers, urban planners, civil society representatives, and early-career scholars from Germany and India to examine how risks are produced, experienced, and governed in rapidly urbanizing environments.

Through interdisciplinary dialogue spanning STEM fields, social sciences, and policy studies, the symposium seeks to advance inclusive approaches to urban resilience, sustainability, and governance while fostering long-term Indo-German research cooperation.

The workshop is financially supported by the DWIH New Delhi.
