Urban Inequality

The SHD’s work spans multiple themes including housing, health, education, food, water and sanitation, migration, identity, and urban culture, and their intersections with economic, caste, gender, spatial, and climate justice.

This work focuses on:

• Material quality of housing, impact of evictions on everyday life and income security, and access to rights and citizenship.
• Relationships between housing, infectious and non-communicable diseases, and health outcomes.
• Mitigation strategies for the exclusionary impacts of COVID-19.
• Identifying interactions between migration, social identities, and climate adaptation.
