Centre for UrbAN Planning & Development
(A Constituent unit of SAIARD)
About CUPD



Centre for Urban Planning & Development (formerly known as Centre for Urban & Built Environment), is a constituent unit of SAIARD which has developed particularly to focus on various issues related to urban areas. Considering the recent growth of urban development specially in eastern and north-eastern parts of India and the lacking of proper research and planning based institute in urban sector, this centre has developed and we believe in future it will play an important role to sort out the problems and providing solutions of various upcoming urban issues. With this perspective CUPD has joined its hand with several Govt. organisations like NIUA, Dept. of Urban Development & Municipal Affairs, Govt. of West Bengal etc. those who are working on that particular field, as a supporting hands, to make our future urban unit much more better and sustainable.
Our Vision
To develop a platform which can provide all-round support to our future urban planners as well as being an supporting hands for our Government
