Rapid urbanisation and climate change are rolling out together, increasing the vulnerability of the cities. Prepared by Taru, this book suggests multi-stakeholder led interventions across scales and sectors to improve the resilience of Kolkata.

Waste reduction and reuse through circular economy is another focus of these interventions.
