For several years now, the number of megacities in the world and especially in India has been growing strongly. This is due to a massive rural exodus that leads to the following situation: Indian megacities are increasing in density and becoming more complex at a startling pace.
New challenges
Due to this current urbanization, cities are facing numerous challenges such as water scarcity, aging infrastructure and the increasing cost of energy. Building eco-neighbourhoods and smart, sustainable cities has thus emerged as a key priority in the matter of delivering a good level of public services, committing to sustainable development and ensuring cities’ attractiveness. In India, the government has launched many smart cities projects (about 100) since the beginning of the year 2015 to ensure a smooth urbanization in the country.
Our commitment
