Sustaining Artisan Livelihoods through Community Cooperative Housing: A Socio-Spatial Study of the Kumbhar Community in Pune, India
Abstract: This research addresses the problem in contemporary community housing. Housing is delivered as a physical product, while the social, economic, and cultural systems that sustain community life are largely ignored. In the resettlement of the Kumbhar (potter) Community in Pune, equal land was allotted without cohesive architectural planning, which has led to fragmented spatial organisation, underutilised work areas, conflicts over resources, unclear boundaries, and a decline in economic efficiency due …

Getting Rid of Carbon: A New Direction for the Chemical Industry
Abstract: The chemical industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its reliance on fossil-based feedstocks, energy-intensive processing routes, and long-lived capital infrastructure. Achieving international climate targets therefore requires deep decarbonisation across the entire chemical value chain, a transition complicated by technological limitations, economic risks, and systemic operational barriers. This article critically evaluates key emission-reduction pathways, including electrification of process heat, substitution of fossil resources with bio-based …

Fast Lanes by Design: Quantifying RFID Electronic Tolling Impacts on Plaza Halt Times in Highway
Abstract: Abstract—Rapid urban growth and the steady rise in the number of vehicles have made congestion at highway toll plazas a persistent and costly problem. Long queues at toll booths not only waste travelers’ time but also increase fuel consumption, air pollution, and overall operating costs of the transport system. Traditional manual toll collection methods contribute significantly to these delays, as vehicles are required to stop for cash or card-based transactions. …

Eco-Friendly Agriculture
Abstract: The green revolution brought a huge increase in rice and wheat yields in Asia, but it relied heavily on chemicals and machines that harm the environment. This approach isn’t sustainable and puts our lands, forests, and water at risk. To secure our food and economic future, especially in developing countries, we need to find ways to grow more food without hurting the planet. One solution is to use sustainable farming …
