Aditi Sunder Nair Argues for Landscape-Led Design in Mumbai's Leopard Corridors
Aditi Sunder Nair's text "Mumbai's Leopards and the Case for Landscape-Led Design" appears in the Adda, Anthem, Assembly series on Architecture.live. Nair traces how leopards move through Mumbai by way of urban corridors that planning has largely overlooked, and by shared edges where human settlement meets habitat. Rigid boundaries, she contends, cannot deliver genuine ecological planning. Her alternative is design that accounts for space and time together. The piece sits within an architecture-focused editorial platform rather than a scientific journal.
