About P-U-C
Productive Urbansim Collective was established with the purpose of bringing together like-minded individuals and practices in the fields of urban design research, landscape design, urban agriculture, food design, mapping, and cartographies. The collective aims to create a collaborative environment where members can share their ideas, knowledge, and expertise to advance research and innovation in these domains.
Looking ahead, PUC aims to become a truly collective entity in coming years that is defined by the shared values and goals of its members. It also hopes to support young researchers and collaborate with industry for providing solutions. Some of the projects involving Mansi Shah were done prior to the establishment of the research collective and are not directly connected to it. However, these projects are still significant building blocks in the evolution of the collective’s ideas and can inform its future projects and direction.
Formed in Nov 2022, it hopes to become a space for connecting, interacting, building ideas, supporting new research, offering solutions, and a space to connect with practitioners.
