repairing for climate change
Many neighbourhoods in Ahmedabad are informal... Loose collections of low-slung, mud-mortared brick houses capped with corrugated sheets, often occupying vulnerable land. Densely populated and poorly ventilated, its residents are vulnerable to increasing incidents of extreme heat, flooding, and disease. Settlements like this comprise a significant part of the Indian urban population, and much of the Global South. However, redevelopment has proven to be costly and inefficient, plagued by corruption, and mediocre outcomes.
Can a strategy of repair better address the challenges these places face?
At what scale should it operate? What is the potential of individual house retrofits relative to collective, decentralized, or municipal systems, to solve the challenges that cloudbursts, 50 degree days and rising vector diseases pose?
