Here are some 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘀 from the recent Book Talk, and an insightful discussion on the ‘𝗨𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻’ with author 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗙. 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗵!

Gregory’s research examines the challenges to inclusive urban development posed by contemporary dynamics of spatial inequality, with a focus on labor markets, human mobility, and technological transitions. In his book, he traces an alternative pathway of urbanization unfolding in contemporary India, one that challenges long held assumptions about how, why, and with what consequences societies urbanize.

Our sincere thanks to Gregory for such a thought-provoking talk, and to everyone who joined us and made the discussion so engaging!

Join us for the next session and follow @ceptlibrary for more such updates and insights.

Every great city begins with a conversation. Every thriving community begins with thoughtful planning.

Inside Georgia Tech's Pre-College Urban Planning program, students explored how planning shapes the places where people live, work, and connect through collaboration, public service, and community-centered design.

A highlight of the program was a visit to Atlanta City Hall, where professionals from the City of Atlanta Department of City Planning welcomed students for an inside look at the local government and the planning process. Through engaging discussions, students explored what makes neighborhoods walkable, connected, and resilient while learning how planning decisions shape communities.

The experience continued with a visit to Trinity Central Flats, where students examined how a development responds to its surrounding context, neighborhood, and urban fabric, bringing classroom concepts into the real world.

More than a site visit, this experience offered a firsthand look at how thoughtful planning creates stronger communities and inspires the next generation of city leaders.

🏙️ Welcome to Georgia Tech Pre-College: Urban Planning.

Special thanks to @atlplanning for rolling out the red carpet for our students and providing such a warm, engaging, and inspiring experience.

“People who move around Atlanta outside of cars come face to face with extreme heat, but often lack shade or other infrastructure, such as bus shelters, that would reduce their exposure. And the burdens aren’t shared equally,” said Rebecca Serna, Executive Director of @letsPropelATL.

To understand where heat risk is highest, as temperatures can vary significantly based on nearby buildings and greenery, @GeorgiaTech researchers and community advocates are attaching temperature and air quality sensors to their backpacks and bikes, turning every step into data collection🚶

The NO-HEAT initiative, led by Dr. Rounaq Basu at @GTPlanning, is mapping heat risk at the sidewalk level, providing city planners with actionable data and empowering people to find the coolest walking and biking routes as they move around the city 🌇

“Our goal is to be proactive, to provide cities and people with tools they can use to change how they move through cities in the heat. Why should we wait for heat strokes or other health-related incidents to happen?” said Basu.

Watch the team collect on‑the‑ground data and see the sensors in action, and then use the link in our bio to read the full story here 🔗
