The documentary titled “The Shape of Belonging” was officially premiered today in New Delhi, marking a significant cultural event that addresses the design and accessibility of public spaces in India. Organized by a coalition of architects, urban planners and social activists, the screening attracted policymakers, NGOs and members of the creative community.
The film examines how inclusive design can transform everyday environments—schools, parks, transport hubs—so that they cater to people of all abilities, ages and backgrounds. Through interviews, case studies and on‑ground footage, it showcases emerging models that blend universal design principles with local cultural contexts.
