Re-Designing Spaces Under Elevated Roads
Abstract: The rapid expansion of elevated road networks in Indian metropolitan cities has significantly improved urban mobility while simultaneously creating extensive underutilized spaces beneath flyovers and elevated corridors. In Mumbai, these under-elevated spaces frequently remain neglected, poorly illuminated, and socially disconnected, often becoming locations for debris dumping, illegal parking, informal encroachments, and unsafe activities. Despite several beautification initiatives, including landscaped gardens, public art installations, and pedestrian walkways, many interventions fail to …

Intersections between Architecture and Culture and Heritage Management
Abstract: Architecture and culture are deeply interconnected, with each influencing and reflecting the other over time. Buildings are more than physical structures; they represent the beliefs, traditions, values, and lifestyles of the communities that create them. As societies evolve, architecture becomes a living record of their social, political, economic, and technological development. At the same time, cultural heritage management plays a crucial role in protecting and preserving these architectural assets, ensuring …

Implications for Closing the Gaps in Awareness and Treatment to Enhance Care for Rheumatic Heart Disease
Abstract: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a major preventable cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of Asia and Africa. Originating from inadequately treated acute rheumatic fever (ARF) following Group A streptococcal infection, RHD predominantly affects children and young adults and continues to impose a substantial clinical, social, and economic burden. Global Burden of Disease estimates indicate that over 38 million people were affected worldwide …
