Call For Papers

Our cities today are an amalgamation of varied choices and experiences of the past, made by our users, designers also leaders. A by-product of cultures that abide in it, today’s urban environment faces fastidiously changing technology and reworking lifestyle choices. ‘Communication’ has had an outsized impact on ‘commute’ and therefore the meaning of ‘meeting’ is not any more limited to physical. There has been a paradigm shift within the cultural perception of the built and private boundaries and territorialities have strengthened tremendously. the standard of indoor and outdoor in an urban space determines the standard of interpersonal relationships also and health and well-being of its users. it’s hence important to plan and style spaces that are capable of accommodating transformation. In today’s scenario ‘Resilience’ is that the only constant that helps keep the cities stable. the standard and strength of this resilience determines the standard of Urban life.

TUR’s third issue titled ‘Spatial Chronicles’ attempts to debate through a compilation of varied articles, the essence and character of the varied notions and practices in Urban planning, design and architecture of this .
