Tasneem Ali

Hello and welcome to my very new website! I am a 2020 graduate in Sustainable Cities from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. I completed my undergraduate in Civil Engineering from MAKAUT, India. While in my undergraduate degree, I have been able to witness the cities very closely and its deteriorating environmental conditions, year after year. The present ecological concerns have deeply evoked my sense of involvement as they affect me directly and therefore, I aspire to have a career in sustainable planning and development. With a great interest in working towards the betterment of the world, I have started my first ever website – Through Sustainability where I will be writing on various topics concerning the changing climate and their adaptation and mitigation techniques. The website not only focuses on the developed and evolving countries/cities but also on the remote and challenging regions where survival and access to basic necessities have been a constant issue. Through my website, I aspire to bring a change. I aim to spread more awareness among the current and the upcoming generation so there is more understanding of the uncertain future that we are nearing.
