What is Art!

Art serves three purposes: its creation, its interaction with viewers, and its long-lasting impact on future generations, with the third being the most significant.

Art has three clear purposes it seems. It has to #do with one who makes #art, it has to do with someone who comes in touch with that art, and it has something to do with the impact it leaves behind for #centuries to come, may be the third one is the largest purpose of art.

Scaling of opportunities, a bigger challenge than scaling up urban infrastructure!


urban management urban planning - A concept of tackling urban challenges by prioritizing skill-building and scaling opportunities, leading to greater community engagement and sustainability.

Tackling immediate soft urban challenges through resource prioritization!

Infrastructure expansion is where the money and interest is and is a never ending process as well, so it will keep scaling up in background anyway and will be taken care of diligently, with or without much intervention. Public sector has more of a catalytic and mentoring role to play in that direction. Skill is what we need to focus on today.

Like they say “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to catch a fish and he will eat for his lifetime”.  Scaled opportunity is what an urban dweller needs irrespective of which Socio-economic strata they belong. More opportunity to masses means more involvement in the urban dynamics, and hence being more engaged in the process of building the very city which provided the new scale and dimensions of opportunities. Scaling of opportunity are less resource intensive and has higher ROR than scaling or urban infrastructure and might be more sustainable an approach!

Further scientific modelling and analysis will be required to validate and assert the idea.
