Orange People Project: Introduction

Introduction

Program: Observation and Action Network Fellowship Program 2020 Project: Orange People Project Team: Karra Rutwik Reddy and Parnavee Pathak Location: Nagpur, Maharashtra, India

Orange People Project embraces the idea of public participation in the transformation of a city, which was always missing. It is done by letting people pin out on their city map. The idea was to inculcate a conversation between the people and the city, (and that’s how a liveable city of the people is possible) and letting the concerned authority know of the public pulse — to create an impact. The project touches the physical and social aspects of city but in a different light. A common man’s narrative of the city when transformed into an analytical map of the region, can work wonders in understanding the common urban nuances.

The project is one of its own kind, providing an alternative approach through analytical maps in city evaluation, yet a pilot attempt to make a bigger difference.
