The collapse of the five-storey Satya Niketan PG has put the spotlight back on India’s poor infrastructure and widespread lapses in safety during and after a building’s construction. India has several safety codes and regulations, so why are so many buildings collapsing, and who should be held responsible in these cases? In this episode, Sonikka Loganathan speaks to Dr. A. Srivathsan, architect, urban designer, and Principal Researcher and Head of the Centre for Research on Architecture and Urbanism at CEPT Research and Development Foundation, about the gaps between regulation, compliance, and governance — and what can be done to make India’s buildings safer. #satyaniketan #buildingcollapse #delhi Thank you for watching our video!
