Dr. Payal Kanodia, Trustee M3M Foundation mentioned that “just planting trees can’t make cities sustainable”, strong government interventions and public policies and frameworks around transport infrastructure, utilisation of spaces, infrastructure reality and adaptation together will act as an impetus to thrive towards making cities sustainable. These kind of unique and powerful interactions are essential for moving on the path of resilient and green living and have a long-term positive impact on all of us.

Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, President M3M Foundation said that the brainstorming of these minds will help in designing a long-term strategy for the rejuvenation of underutilized post infrastructural spaces globally. For the same a proposal will be developed for designing unused under flyover spaces for/along Dwarka expressway in India, in continuation with this symposium with a vision to achieve global sustainable goals (2030).
