Hari Chandana’s sustainability initiatives reflect her ability to spot opportunities for circular links at intersection of civic issues transforming liability into asset. Her flagship LOO Cafe model synergizes pay-per-use public toilets addressing accessibility gaps with revenue sustainability through accompanying cafeterias!. #HariChandana #SheInspiresUs
Additionally, standard community toilet infrastructure has been repurposed for biogas harvesting using integrated bio-digester channels also doubling as safe sludge disposal mechanisms. This decentralizes waste-to-energy pragmatically at locations with assured feedstock transforming toilets to micro-utilities. On similar principles of closing resource loops, Amsterdam recycles sewer heat into usable thermal energy for buildings unlocking latent scope by aligning infra disconnects.
Such innovative models rely on factoring negative externalities within design solutions boosting viability, demonstrating HC’s systems thinking to generate public amenity assets from seeming deadweight inequities furthering Smart Cities focus.
