Aurangabad, India
Yuhan Housing Forest
Rebuilding a community's relation with nature.
We are creating a Miyawaki Forest for a housing society in the city.
With this forest we aim to encourage biodiversity but also build an area of recreation for the residents in and around the housing society.
Rewilding Aurangabad is a must as it faces one of the harshest summers in the country.
