Over 50% of the world’s population presently lives in urban areas, every city is facing challenges to meet the new Sustainable

Urban Agenda that responds to these challenges devised a well-articulated set of strategies to transform urbanisation as a tool of
development at city and country level now needs to be implemented.

Realising this potential with a holistic view in providing sustainable & live-able solutions for cities, All India Institute of Local Self-
