Jana Urban Space Foundation is a Bengaluru-based not-for-profit institution founded in 2007. It works towards transforming the quality of life in urban India through the streams of urban planning and design, across both policy and practice. Jana Urban Space works on policies on land titling, spatial planning reforms, and neighbourhood improvement plans, and works closely with the state governments and Urban Local Governments (ULGs) on implementation of urban design projects for the improvement of public spaces, and on road infrastructure through Tender S.U.R.E. (Specifications for Urban Road Execution) guidelines.
Over nearly two decades, Jana Urban Space has worked extensively to promote systemic reforms in urban planning and design with governments at the Union, State, and ULG levels — including NITI Aayog (formerly the Planning Commission), the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), and the Governments of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh.
Jana Urban Space was founded by Swati Ramanathan in 2007 as India Urban Space Foundation with a vision to transform quality of life in Urban India. Today it is a professional services social enterprise ( PSSE) delivering transformational work on the spatial dimension of cities.
Jana Urban Space works with national, state, and urban local governments to strengthen the policy, regulatory, and institutional foundations of urban planning and statutory planning systems in India, while advancing the design and implementation of streets, public spaces, and urban systems of everyday use that guide sustainable urban growth and redevelopment.
