Neev – Sustainable And Affordable Housing

Developing an inclusive and sustainable vision for cities, making them ready for a pandemic situation with improving quality of life of local communities by building green thriving and health-conscious neighborhoods we started out with deliberating over a simple opportunity statement- As urban populations increase, we recognize the need for building compact, resilient and well-connected communities, by developing an inclusive vision for cities & improving the quality of life of local marginalized communities such as the urban poor population through social housing.

The entire journey of this project has been very insightful, thrilling and an exciting one, we viewed the whole ecosystem of the project within a service design framework that was broken into 4 phase, starting with understanding the prerequisite information we had, then moving onto understanding the problem sphere which enabled us to analyze our research data and compile attributes necessary for ideation, post-primary research and literature review we went onto a detailed ethnographic study of slums in Delhi.

We recognize the future scope of the project with the same intention that the project started out with, it being that housing and strong, sustainable communities in India can be a solution to many problems that its citizens face, and more work in this field is always required. We are in fact - "not creating a solution for this pandemic, but preparing for the next one.."
