Urban Kaleidoscope, a quarterly journal brought to you by People’s Resource Centre celebrates the complex tapestry of urban life, drawing inspiration from the kaleidoscope of interconnected elements that make up our cities. Our journey began with a deep-seated commitment to envisioning alternative urban futures. The concept of nurturing urban farming and its profound connection to various aspects of life sparked our initial exploration. As we delved into the various themes that shape our urban landscapes, we realized the need for a broader platform—a journal that could serve as a catalyst for citizens’ discourse on reclaiming, rebuilding, and co-creating our cities. And thus, “Urban Kaleidoscope” was born. This journal stands as a testament to our belief in the power of collective voices. We have strived to create a space where citizens, scholars, activist researchers, artists, academicians, professionals, and community stakeholders can come together to engage in critical discourse about the cities we inhabit
