Vivek Venugopal The Telangana State Urban Centre of Excellence (TSUCE) is an innovative and ambitious project that is focused on revolutionizing urban policy and addressing urban issues in a more effective manner. The TSUCE is designed to be a powerful statement in urban architecture and will showcase the latest in contemporary design while also being sensitive to the surrounding natural landscapes and acting as a medium to negotiate spaces for the existing agricultural community and upcoming IT community. The centre acts as a medium for dialogue, negotiation, and collaboration, creating spaces where the knowledge and expertise of different communities can intersect and contribute to urban development. TSUCE is not just a physical structure but a dynamic institution that brings together urban planners, policymakers, researchers, academics, industry experts, and community representatives. It serves as a catalyst for innovation, providing a space for interdisciplinary research, policy development, capacity building, and knowledge exchange. Through its programs, workshops, seminars, and conferences, TSUCE aims to facilitate the generation and dissemination of cutting-edge ideas and best practices in urban policy and governance.
