About Us

Urban Update was launched in 2014 as a magazine dedicated to conversations on cities and urban development. Published by the All India Institute of Local Self-Government, it covers news, policy developments, and expert perspectives on urban planning and governance.

As cities continue to grow and evolve, Urban Update serves as a platform for informed analysis, expert opinions, and knowledge sharing. It brings together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and urban thinkers to exchange ideas and highlight emerging trends and solutions.

Over the years, Urban Update has grown into a trusted space for conversations on climate action, inclusive planning, mobility, and urban futures. Our goal is simple — to inform, inspire, and support better cities by sharing stories that matter.
