The Opportunity
Urbanization in India:
Urban Indian population is currently at 300 million and is expected to cross 600 million in the next two decades. India is among the last large rural nations of the world. India is only about 30 per cent urban at this point. There is a huge opportunity to leapfrog into a society that is environmentally and socially sustainable; especially by learning from the successes and failures of the more urbanized parts of the world. This is at the crux of the agenda that we have set forth at The Urban Vision.
Dynamic & fast growing economy
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world with an average GDP Growth of 8 % and is expected to be one of the fastest growing economies in the coming years. India is today one of the most dynamic real estate and infrastructure markets in the world. Jones Lang LaSalle’s recent report outlined the investment in infrastructure during 2007-12 at around USD 500 billion. According to Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors- India may need to potentially build an average of 8.7 billion sq ft of real estate space every year, adding up to a whopping 95 billion sq. ft between 2010 and 2020.
