Chennai, IN: Cities of Care

Shaping sustainable and equitable futures through the water-food-waste nexus.

Lectures & workshops

As climate pressures grow, our cities are changing at a rapid pace—and so are the systems that keep them running.

Join U of T faculty, collaborators, friends and alumni for a dynamic discussion exploring the complex interdependencies between water, food, and waste systems that demand urgent empirical and policy attention.

You’ll hear from academics, practitioners, and decision-makers working at the forefront of urban sustainability. Discover how the choices we make today will help shape more equitable and resilient urban futures—and how cross-disciplinary collaboration can drive meaningful impact.

Convened by:

  • The UofT India Foundation - connects U of T with India’s research, entrepreneurship, government, and not-for-profit-sectors to co-create solutions that build more sustainable, climate-resilient Indian cities.
  • University of Toronto School of Cities - a leading interdisciplinary urban research hub at Canada’s premier research university.
  • IIT Madras’ School of Sustainability - a synergistic space at one of India’s premier institutions bridging gaps among science, policy and business practices.
