Cities are complex systems. Building on the 'science of cities' our research works on planning for evolution of cities.

Biodiversity estimations have been typically carried out mostly in protected areas. However, there remains an un-estimated diversity outside forests or the non-protected areas which are mostly not sampled and estimated scientifically. Here, our research attempts to study the biodiversity in the non-protected areas.

Call for Interns - Urban Bird Monitoring

A long term monitoring of biodiversity in urban areas is essential to improve our understanding of ecological systems and their response to anthropogenic changes. As part of Project Ashoka, the long term ecological research project, Gubbi Labs is calling for interns in Bengaluru to join us in a systematic monitoring of birds to understand how they are adapting to land-use and climate changes in the city.

World Cities Day - Innovative Governance, Open Cities

On this World Cities Day, let us visit the 20 'Smart Cities' selected by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India under the Smart Cities Mission. While the genesis 'Smart Cities' is debatable, let us not get there but one has to address the nature of 'governance' envisaged for these 'Smart Cities' given the theme of Innovative Governance and Open Cities.
