Shweta Gandhi never planned to become an urban planner; it happened organically. Starting with a Bachelor's in Architecture at Manipal Academy in Dubai, she shifted towards cities after working on a conservation project for the Government of Sharjah. An internship with global firm Arcadis deepened her understanding of urban policy and strategic visioning. By just 25, she was pursuing an MSc in Sustainable Urban Development at Oxford, working as a Graduate Urban Planner at AECOM, and contributing to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals fellowship proves that curiosity and openness can shape an extraordinary career in urban planning.
