M.TECH IN URBAN SYSTEMS
The aim of this M.Tech programme in Urban Systems is to expose students to urbanization challenges and prepare them for bringing improvement in quality of urban life. The programme will enable the student to understand the socio-economic suitability of technical (engineering, information, administrative) approaches and particular solutions in orienting urban development on a smarter and sustainable path. This program is expected to create a team of urban professionals who on one hand understand the planning principles and on the other will also know design challenges of urban infrastructure.
