"Realty is slowly coming of age in India. Yet we still need to go a long way. Uniform standards, clear, transparent policies and planned development are the need of the hour. They will go a long way in ensuring that real estate developments are future-friendly.
The industry also needs adequate support in the form of critical infrastructure, energy, water, sanitation, waste management, etc. Changing aspirations and evolving lifestyles have to be acknowledged and kept in mind while designing legislation for cities.
The government needs to consciously encourage and incentivize the industry towards green technologies and sustainable developments. Initiatives that involve all stake-holders and bring them on a common platform to work together to implement solutions need to be given priority if our cities have to survive without becoming nightmarish to live in."
