The construction industry is a big driver of the economy. It is also a gobbler of resources. But oversight in India is inadequate and based on outdated concerns. Builders and architects aren’t encouraged to think about tomorrow and on their own they do pretty much the opposite. When it comes to production materials, water, space and energy the story across India is a mighty dismal one. It is worrisome because future generations will have to live with what gets constructed now. There is no city in India we can truly be proud of. Our buildings typify waste. . .
