About
Trained as an architect, urban designer and spatial planner, Sanjeev studies how to make better plans for places. Exploring city planning and designing efforts across policy and spatial scales in a variety of settings like neighborhoods, new towns, historic places and mega-regions, his research explores who does (and should do) the city design and planning work. Sanjeev has lived, worked and studied in the Middle East, Western Europe, and the United States while examining the case of independent India using a comparative lens, insider/outsider perspective and an integrative framework. He works with progressive scholars and professional practitioners worldwide.
