Planning Charrette at Chennai
Planning education increasingly demands learning methods that go beyond the classroom and engage deeply with real-world contexts. At the Faculty of Planning, CEPT University, studio-based and inquiry-driven pedagogy lies at the core of teaching and learning. This Planning Charrette is designed to showcase this distinctive approach by immersing participants in a hands-on learning experience grounded in a real urban challenge.
