“The world’s environmental sustainability and quality of life depends to a large extent on what is done during the next few years in the third World’s cities. There is still time to think different… there could be cities with as much public space for children as for cars, with a backbone of pedestrian streets, sidewalks and parks, supported by public transport.
Remember If democracy is to prevail, public good must prevail over private interests. Socialism was a failure as an economic system. Yet equality is not dead. Socialism is dead, but equality as a goal is not dead.”

About: Building Livable Cities is a multi city investigation to look at ideas to make Indian Cities Livable. As part of the initiative ; symposiums will take place across 5 cities – Bangalore , Mumbai , Delhi , Chennai ,and Ahmedabad between Oct 18-22.The outcome will be presented in a book. The “Urban Visioning “Program titled the Blueprint showcases the urban visions of a number of leading Indian architects . The series will also be podcasted.
The theme of Building Livable cities 2010 is EcoCities - Driving India towards the age of sustainability which will explore strategies that can make Indian cities environmentally sustainable. Today, cities occupy about 2% of the world's surface area and have a disproportionately large impact on the earth’s ecology. According to the United Nations, cities are responsible for 75% of global energy consumption and 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a large part of the solution towards solving the crisis of Climate Change lies in solving the crisis of Cities. This series of multi city forums is aimed at creating a blueprint of a sustainable future.
