INDIA PAVILION
The India pavilion will serve as a platform for delegates worldwide to learn, discuss, visualise, and share what is happening in Indian cities. Additionally, it will help them understand how to communicate their impact more effectively to achieve scale and sustainability. The main objective is to demonstrate how India created an enabling ecosystem to influence multiple stakeholders in various ways to develop urban structures for the future. This approach can aid in effectively planning and managing urban challenges and ensure that Indian cities advance towards spatial, social, and economic inclusively. The exhibition will showcase India's endeavours in:
-
To inspire more cities to implement local initiatives and communicate the impact of their sustainable actions.
-
To garner more interest from cities and delegates in developing strategies for addressing future urban challenges.
