Enabling Inclusive and Integrated Urban Development in India

Given the fact that 34.5 per cent (1) of India’s population currently resides in urban settings, and that this proportion is expected to go up to 40 per cent (1) by the year 2030, improving the quality of living for India’s urban dwellers, as well as enhancing their access to better livelihoods are key to meeting India’s aspirations as a nation. Many of our cities have grown organically without adequate prior planning.

One of the challenges of the Indian urban administration is to retrofit features like transportation systems, power, water supply and sanitation grids onto layouts and patterns that have often grown in an unplanned manner. There is an increased need for integrated, sustainable, technology enabled inclusive development of physical, institutional, socio and economic infrastructure of cities. Thus, paving the way towards attracting investments and enhancing the quality of life.

With a multi-sector skilled team focusing on next generation cities, we are engaged with the Ministry of Urban Development, state governments, regional development authorities and urban local bodies helping drive urban transformation.
