Antyodaya via inclusion re-thinking urban India

Antyodaya via inclusion re-thinking urban India - Vol.86(6), June - Mumbai Indian Institute of Architects 2021 - 83-86p.
Antyodaya defines the upliftment of the last person, the weakest
part of society. The best theory of inclusion with limited understanding is
the concept of antyodaya, priority is given to 'the last man standing in the
queue' in terms of resources, facilities, opportunities, or value within the
society, or, in this case, a group of people within the city who are less fortu-
nate. This article explores why inclusive design is necessary and needs to be
included in re-thinking design with the discussion on limitations and chal-
lenges in the inclusive spatial design process. This article draws an overall
picture of urban areas in India and how we can re-think for the antyodaya
group via inclusion. Findings provide some critical conclusions for the en-
hancement of design thinking and provide equal socio-economic opportu-
nities for everyone.
