Open Studio is an interactive project run by the School of Architecture + Cities at the University of Westminster to make its design, research and practice-based work available online while it is happening. The site acts as a real time teaching and learning environment in which the work of both students and staff is curated and documented – the work of its design studios, or its other teaching and research groups and workshops.

The study looks at urbanisation and urban planning policies in the context of two Asian cities – Mumbai and Singapore. It recommends energy efficiency, stakeholder participation, economic and social equity, and linked policies and laws to integrate climate change concerns into the urban planning and design systems in cities.
