- [Meaningful city and urban poche’](https://billionbricks.org/blog/meaningful-city-and-urban-poche/) - Urbanity as an idea doesn’t come easy to us Indians right now. We have been told that India is a land of villages and urban has always been looked upon as the ‘other’. This however is far from the reality. India has been one of the first countries that can boast of a ‘civilisation’ and formation of a ‘society ‘as seen in the Indus valley civilisation.
- [Traversing the city](https://billionbricks.org/blog/traversing-the-city/) - I have always loved Delhi. In the past months, I realise how much I have missed its winter sun, its food, its monuments and its people. However, I am disappointed byits complete lack of a public realm. While there is a lot of investment in public transport, public space and pedestrian friendliness still seems like a distant reality in the city today.
