@maliniranga @srikarrrrrr Great article! Though not from Bengaluru, my work also highlighted how private contractors prey on migrants for waste work in Tiruppur: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Intersections of anti-Hindi but pro-dalit politics in TN begs further investigation

Bengaluru's fringes are settled by poor Bengali Muslim migrant laborers who live in precarious, unrecognized, flood-prone slums and work as waste pickers. A new book by @srikarrrrrr looks at the lives and marginalization of these Bengali migrant workers--among other fascinating aspects of Karnataka's cultural politics. scroll.in/article/107753…

What does it mean to be a “progressive” or “radical” planner? And what kind of power do planners have to enact change?
The #PlannersNetwork Disorientation Guide attempts to orient folks new to the field of urban and regional planning to ideas, concepts, and practices linked to progressive or radical planning traditions.
Reimagined 20 years after its first iteration, the Disorientation Guide features a range of articles, interviews, and excerpts sourced from progressive planning academics and practitioners. In addition, the guide includes additional resources with links to grassroots organizations, non-profits, and academic research groups involved in progressive city-building practices.
It is our hope that this guide can help to inspire positive ways forward amid present challenges and offer a lens into the kinds of alternative visions and practices that planning can be.
Download the guide (PDF) at:

New article out in @Planning_theory analyzing how the planning of everyday water supply schedules improves water access outcomes in cities w/o 24x7 supply. Very thoughtful and constructive anonymous reviewers -- wish we could grab coffee :)
Planning theory&prac @planningtheory.bsky.social@Planning_theory
In this article, Nidhi Subramanyam @needycities conducts an in-depth study of how "frontline planners" make everyday decisions under conditions of uncertainty and information scarcity to provide water supply services to residents in Tiruppur, India. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Really great paper by @patrickgthomson +bunch of @HWISE_RCN folks in @EnvSciTech using 2873 hh across 9 country-data on how:
"Water Supply Interruptions Are Associated with More Frequent Stressful Behaviors & Emotions but Mitigated by Predictability"
pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
English
TL;DR: "Climate-induced displacements" need to be understood and addressed in relation to uneven histories of regional development that lock caste communities in precarity & how caste mediates adverse incorporation into urban livelihoods and linked housing for migrants
