SACHIN VISITS URBAN DESIGN LAB

    Who knew the Master Blaster had a thing for urban design? Well, on Friday, Sachin Tendulkar gave schoolchildren in Mumbai quite a surprise when he visited the BMW Guggenheim Lab while they were there. It is a mobile laboratory travelling around the world to inspire innovative ideas for urban design and new ways of thinking about urban life.
    Sachin was paying a special visit to the global initiative’s main site at the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum for a conversation about growing up in the city. Mumbai is the third stopover for the Lab after New York and Berlin. The ongoing programme in the city will go on till January 20, Thursday through Monday between 3 and 9 pm. Additionally, nearly half of the public programmes are being held at a network of satellite locations throughout the city.
    It offers free public programmes and projects under the theme ME=WE — a balance between the individual (ME) and the community (WE). The programmes will explore challenges and opportunities related to public space and the choices Mumbaikars make to balance individual and community needs. There will be design projects, participatory studies, tours, talks, workshops, film screenings and cultural activities. It will also address issues related to transportation, housing, water, and governance.
