Planning Citywide Inclusive Sanitation

The implications of this research on practice begins with its bridge to science through this transdisciplinary approach. This research on CWIS has also helped capacity development programs and advocacy for the uptake of the approach. In intangible ways, it has contributed to several CWIS projects under implementation and the global CWIS initiative at large.

This research has tried to balance the breadth of the globally relevant CWIS concept with the depth of the Indian case study. This thesis acts as an academic cornerstone for the paradigm shift towards CWIS. Further research on its implementation in various contexts and the associated practical challenges can refine the approach and help it scale.
