National Institute of Urban Affairs Invites Application for Research Associate Recruitment 2022

The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) is India’s leading national think tank on urban planning and development. As a hub for the generation and dissemination of cutting-edge research in the urban sector, NIUA seeks to provide innovative solutions to address the challenges of a fast urbanizing India and pave the way for more inclusive and sustainable cities of the future.

Since the 1970s, Indian cities have undergone a transformative journey. Following rapid industrialization post-Independence, an increase in population has taken place alongside large-scale rural-to-urban migration. With urban hubs swelling in size and density, exciting opportunities for growth have come into view whilst being accompanied by new risks and challenges. As cruxes of economic and political power, the question of how cities are planned, governed, and indeed, for who becomes all the more crucial.
