Hello!
I'm Lakshmi. I'm a 2nd year graduate student in the Master in City Planning program at the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, MIT. I'm part of the International Development Group at DUSP, currently working with Professor Bish Sanyal on research focussing on public sector performance and urban governance.
My background is in architecture and I have previously worked on the topics of informality, low-income housing, construction technology for the self-build housing sector, and vernacular architecture and design.
