Urban Futures | SWM 2026 - Understanding Diverse Perspectives on the New Rules

Indian cities are preparing for the implementation of the evolving Solid Waste Management (SWM) framework, which introduces important shifts in regulation, governance, and approaches to waste management systems. In this Urban Futures webinar hosted by the Urban Management Centre (UMC), experts from urban practice, academia, and civil society come together to unpack what the new framework could mean for cities, institutions, and the people who keep urban waste systems running. The session explores key questions including: • What changes do the proposed SWM Rules 2026 introduce? • How prepared are cities to implement the new framework? • What does the transition mean for decentralised waste management systems? • How can waste picker integration and inclusive governance be strengthened?
