“The mark of a great city isn’t how it treats its special places – everybody does that right – but how it treats its ordinary ones.”
Livable Cities

What Massive earth foundation is doing?
MEF attempts to identify and understand the core sectors in city design that result in poor experiences for all citizens and environments. Problems like waste management, air pollution, road congestion, heat island effects, and walkability are some of the major causes of pain in the city. MEF conducts original research and partners up with organizations to launch initiatives like pilot projects and accelerators to solve these problems.

Air Pollution
The Air Pollution Project tackles the severe air quality issues plaguing major Indian cities, with a primary focus on Delhi. Our comprehensive approach involves understanding various contributing factors such as paddy burning, Diwali celebrations, traffic emissions, and other pollutants.
Heat Island Effect
The project is dedicated to studying the rapid increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature. This phenomenon, distinct from air temperature, has led to significant environmental impacts such as hotter city temperatures, heightened energy consumption, and the formation of ‘heat islands’.
