Sasaki collaborated with one of the world’s leading engineering, infrastructure, and sustainability firms on the sustainability approach, transit and transportation plan, and innovative infrastructure. Each home or place of work is less than a two minute walk to recreation areas and open space. Sasaki also worked to understand the numerous site constraints—divided parcels, overhead and underground utilities, waterways, and existing and future transportation networks—and integrate all of these elements into a humane, sustainable environment that represents a higher quality of living for residents in India is one of the primary innovations of this project. A comprehensive stormwater management system is part of the overall planning and design strategy.

Master planning in India requires a profound understanding of the complexities of infrastructure, site development, existing conditions, and the bureaucratic process. Sasaki’s previous experience in India—both with this client and with other leading development companies—was critical in the selection process and to the success of the project.
