Smruti Jukur Johari
Architect & Urban Planner
Urban planner Smruti Jukur Johari works with poor city dwellers to uncover their persistent problems -- and then applies herself relentlessly to co-invent novel solutions. Since childhood, Johari has dreamed of improving quality of life for the poor. She became an urban planner to explore solutions that architects in isolation could not provide.
In her work, Johari focuses on informal urban habitats, looking for common-sense fixes that people create for themselves and that, despite their flaws, serve immediate needs in easy-to-implement ways.
