Hashtag Urbanism

Who are we?

Hashtag Urbanism is a urban design and research studio that aims to create and curate all content that can be tagged with, yes, you guessed it, the #urbanism. Through our posts, we aim to highlight how one encounters design and architecture in simple ways in a city and its potential in transforming our perceptions of the place.

Based in Chennai, Hashtag Urbanism portrays the quirks and perks of city life in a way that is relatable not just to Architects, Urban Designers, Planners and Government Authorities, but also to the Common man.
