The Conclave will commence with a keynote session to introduce the main themes, followed by four thematic sessions and end with a session to document the consensus that evolves through deliberation over the two days.


Professor Vinayak Bharne, Co-Director of My Liveable City “Cities around the world are grappling with climate hazards, growth pressures, ecological degradation and deteriorating public health. This is in part the consequence of rampant resource consumption, excessive waste production, and reckless development. Tackling theseissues will require a change of mindset - a rethinking of approaches to urban planning andcity design, a broadening of the definitions and intersections of technology, infrastructure andfinance, and even a rediscovery of methodologies and practices that existed in our past.”


The Conclave is built around four key transformation themes of Mobility, Public Health, Technology and Community-Neighbourhood.


Said Jagan Shah, Conclave Director “The event would attempt to answer four key questions around these focus areas. First, how can the Indian cities be retrofitted to prioritize slow mobility within a hierarchy of transportation systems? Second, How can they enable holistic health and wellbeing of individuals and communities? Third, How can urban technologies improve accessibility, increase efficiency, induce shifts in public behaviour and enable demand responsive infrastructure and services for our cities? Fourth, how can planners and urban designers create the slow neighbourhoods that are safe havens providing a mix of home, workplace, bazaars, parks, trades, arts & crafts, and culinary experiences?”


Shantanu Chakraborty, COO of Brookfield Properties“As a leading developer and manager of the built environment, Brookfield Properties recognizes the critical role we play in shaping the future of our cities. We are committed to environmental stewardship and creating sustainable, vibrant communities. Our support for the Liveable Cities Conclave reflects our commitment to fostering innovative solutions that enhance urban ecosystems. By prioritizing sustainable development and community engagement, we aim to contribute to a holistic approach in urban planning that makes cities more liveable. Through collaboration and shared insights with industry thought leaders at this Conclave, we can pave the way for healthier, more connected communities that thrive in harmony with their environment.”


Jagan Shah, further amplified “The end objective of the Liveable Cities Conclave is todevelop a manifesto on the solutions identified at the deliberations after engaging with all the stakeholders. This Manifesto will be handed over to administrators and policy makers of various Indian cities. The aim is to thoroughly reinvigorate the imagination of the 21st-century Indian City by discovering pathways to planning, designing, and realizing several key transformations. The Conclave also addresses five Sustainable Development Goals, as adopted by the UN.”


Some key speakers at the event include: Debolina Kundu, Anjali Karol Mohan, Phil Enquist, John Jung, Koneru Bhavani, Prem Chandavarkar, Ashok Lall, Anumita Roy Chowdhury, Oscar Franco, Udit Amin, Nihal Perera, Shyam Khandekar, Naresh Narasimhan, Vishal Kundra&Chetan Kulkarni.
