Abstract
Bhopal has witnessed one of the greatest industrial disasters in the history of mankind. The gas tragedy had widespread implications on the society, culture, environment, and health of the residents of the city. For decades government and non- government organizations have tried to mitigate the impact of the disaster of 1984.These attempts have at the most proved to be marginally successful. The aim of this practicum is to take these attempts a step further. The practicum provides a more thorough assessment of the environmental conditions of the former Union Carbide factory site and proposes an action plan to remediate the factory area through the use of technologies such as phytoremediation and electro- kinetic remediation. Further, the practicum presents a design for an area for community engagement on the site, an area where neighbourhood people can gather, play, share feelings and engage themselves in restructuring their lives and non- residents can learn about the history of the site.
