School of Systems & Infrastructure
Transforming key urban and infrastructure systems
About
The School of Systems & Infrastructure (SSI) at IIHS focuses on transforming key urban and infrastructure systems to improve equity, well-being and environmental outcomes for citizens and cities in India and the Global South.
Its core themes are achieving sustained and equitable economic, social and environmental outcomes via better governance, finance, technology, and infrastructure service delivery. The SSI’s work is firmly rooted in the Indian context, drawing knowledge and experience from the global context, and has implications across cities in the Global South.
The SSI’s focus spans various interdisciplinary areas of inquiry and avenues of engagement, including water and sanitation, solid waste management, energy, transport, and mobility, land and planning, built environment, and information technology and information technology-enabled services (IT/ITES).
Where economies evolve, cities transform, and communities shape resilient futures.
