(Illustration by C R Sasikumar)2021 is the year we start work on new boulevards and sewers. Even in places far from Paris, from Lutyens’ re-imagined Delhi to Khedive Ismail’s re-commissioned Cairo, residents may never visit Paris, but can enjoy Parisian boulevards. Along with those post-pandemic boulevards, Paris also was re-built with a modern sewage system. It is time to imagine the boulevards and sewers that will emerge at the end of this pandemic. If we get the new boulevards and sewers right, it could also become the beginning of a new beginning.
