Tanushree Agarwal

Tanushree is currently working as an urban researcher at LSE Cities, a research centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science. With a multidisciplinary background in urban design, planning and research, she has previously worked in diverse global south contexts and across various disciplines of urban relevance.

As a passionate urbanist, Tanushree believes that the built environment in cities directly shapes people’s lives and designing vibrant and inclusive places is vital for a sustainable future. Working at the intersection of design and governance, Tanushree is driven by empathy for the people who use the places she helps create and always curious about questioning existing systems. She is particularly interested in investigating the links between urban policy and human-centered development.
