🌿 Introducing Conscious Guwahati’s Event for #ccities25! ✨
Guwahati (India)—The City of Areca Palms, along the Banks of the Luit—is evolving rapidly. But how can we design spaces that encourage us to slow down, foster deeper connections, and reclaim our sense of place?
This event explores the intersection of time, space, and urban design in shaping our sense of belonging. Through thought-provoking panel discussions, an experiential mapping activity, and an open call for city-inspired photography, we invite you to reimagine urban life and creative agency.
📅 Date: March 23, 2025
⏰ Time: 10:30 AM IST
