I am a BTech Civil Engineering student at Vellore Institute of Technology. I am quite interested in the topics of infrastructure design, design psychology, and the relationship between public spaces and human behaviour, exploring how design influences everyday life and bringing an interdisciplinary perspective to questions of urban design and civic responsibility.
Civic sense in India: why streets shape behaviour
Viral videos blame Indians for littering, but research suggests the environment sends the signal. Missing bins, blocked footpaths and scant shade teach people that public space belongs to no one. Singapore, Japan and Indore show that infrastructure, fair enforcement and local pride can change behaviour.
