India’s urbanisation is on a rapid upward trajectory, with projections indicating a population nearing 600 million by 2030 and a staggering 876 million by 2050. Gujarat is poised to claim the 4th spot among the most urbanised states by 2026, with an expected urban population of 53%. This underscores the critical importance of urban development, particularly in Gujarat. To delve deeper into the challenges and potential solutions, we are convening a roundtable on May 10, 2024, in Gujarat.
We invite corporate leaders, government officials, and non-profit organisations to join us in exploring avenues for catalytic funding to accelerate urban development efforts.
