About the IIHS Academic Programmes and Schools

India’s urban transition is unprecedented in scale and complexity. Within it lie both the opportunities of increased economic growth and employment as well as the challenges of persistent inequality, extreme deprivation and environmental degradation. IIHS’ academic programmes aim to foster a new generation of urban practitioners and change makers, to become part of shaping this transition.

The academic programmes are supported by the five interdisciplinary IIHS Schools: School of Workplace and Sustainability (SES), School of Systems and Infrastructure (SSI), School of Economic Development (SED), School of Human Development (SHD) and School of Governance (SoG). Each School has a particular transformational theme and a set of teaching, research and practice projects and programmes within it. Collectively, the five schools systematically address a wide range of urban issues, from questions of livelihood and economic development, access to basic infrastructure, affordable housing and healthcare for all,



to tackling climate change and land governance.
