Nidhi Subramanyam

Nidhi Subramanyam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto. Her research investigates how planning, policies, and governance intersect with and enhance water security and environmental justice for socially marginalized communities in fast-growing regions in India and Canada. She also investigates questions on migrant inclusion and rural-urban transitions in cities of the global South. At their core, all her projects interrogate how planning processes reflect and reinforce the status quo in moments of transition and how different social groups contest inequalities and transform planning at such moments to create just and sustainable futures. Dr. Subramanyam is a faculty affiliate with the School of Cities, the Data Sciences Institute, and the Centre for South Asian Studies at University of Toronto.
