85 Final Note by First Citizen 86 About The Lodha Group 90 Partners I’VE BEEN TO CITIES THAT ABOUND WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR PEOPLE. TODAY I’M PROUD TO COME HOME TO ONE.

I’ve travelled to many cities across the world and discovered one fundamental truth: great cities are those that offer great opportunities. They encourage business and create desirable jobs to achieve economic prosperity; their citizens enjoy well-rounded and fulfilling lives thanks to their inspiring social and cultural environment. As the First Citizen of this city, I can say with confidence, and no small amount of pride, that Palava promises to be such a place. A place where families lead rich and varied lives, businesses flourish, students dream bigger, and athletes go further than ever before. As ’s sister city, Palava isn’t just a new place to live, it’s a new way to live. A city that brings out the best in its people.

Y It’s time to H W change the way urban Indians live.

India’s population is becoming increasingly urban. Within the next few decades, the percentage of people living in cities will increase to at least 40% from the current 30%*, with over 50 crore people living in urban areas (that’s more than the entire population of the USA). Our cities, however, are ill-equipped to cope with the burgeoning population, holding their people back rather than empowering them.

What needs, is a city with world-class academic institutions, innumerable career opportunities, well-maintained open spaces, arts and cultural facilities, exciting sports facilities, safe streets, and the opportunity to lead a life that is easier and infinitely more fulfilling in a community of like-minded people.

A city that won’t just be a place where people can live, but where they can flourish. . 0 1 0 2 l i r p A , g n
