The opportunity to write for Urban Design Square was a new and exciting experience. I had the freedom to choose my own topic of interest and pursue it. I was guided (patiently) in accordance to my topic and gained a lot of perspective through this experience.

The 4-week writing programme helped me learn more about the structure of writing and how to present ideas clearly. It was also great because I wasn't forced to write about something I wasn't onboard with.

It was quite a wonderful experience working on the article with the Urban Design Square. While I was given entire freedom at the ideation and conception stage, the guidance helped me narrow down and structure the ideas better.

It was an excellent experience; everything was handled very professionally. It was a smooth experience working with the team. I found interaction with the women of Abodana, about their struggles and how climate change is affecting these vulnerable communities, to be eye-opening. Additionally, I learned how to effectively communicate and collaborate with stakeholders and team members, further enhancing my project management and interpersonal skills.
