Financing Sustainable Infrastructure in Cities || ORF Colaba Conversation 2021 ||

ORF Colaba Conversation 2021 || Deploying and Financing Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities || Across the world, cities are gearing up to build and renew their infrastructure to meet multiple challenges, particularly those associated with climate change. The cities of the future will have to not just meet new standards for climate change mitigation and adaptation, but also ensure that their infrastructure means that they can provide healthier lifestyles to their residents and that become more competitive in the global economy. What are the ways in which resilience is being built into the post-pandemic city? What lessons can we learn from such efforts in India and elsewhere? How can urban clusters incentivise private capital to help build resilient and sustainable infrastructure?
