Built from scratch, the Indian city of Palava could prefigure the city of the future. So says Abhishek Lodha, the property developer behind this smart city which aims to rank among the top 50 most liveable cities in the world. Located 40 km from India’s economic capital Mumbai, Palava has a number of strengths: it offers an economic nucleus that supports business activity, public spaces for its residents, and a smart city approach that is not limited to technology but has a wider focus on vision, people and community, as he explains.
