How Central Business Districts Should Be Developed In India?

India’s urban landscape is evolving, but are we planning our Central Business Districts (CBDs) the right way? In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani shares insights on why India needs multiple decentralized CBDs instead of one congested center.

From the concept of “dukan piche makan” (work and live close by) to the government’s push for industrial-housing integration, this discussion explores how better planning, transport connectivity, and communication infrastructure can transform India’s cities into sustainable and efficient economic hubs.

The video also highlights the global comparison with China’s planning model, the lessons from Dubai’s well-planned skyscraper zones, and the need for cluster-based development that balances growth with liveability.
If you’re interested in urban planning, smart cities, real estate development, or economic growth, this is a must-watch.
