An urban governance initiative focused on making Indian cities more livable
India is urbanizing at an unprecedented scale. Our cities will be home to nearly 600 million people by 2030. To ensure thoughtful, and citizen-centric planning of resources in cities, Lakeer builds the case for data-driven governance and inclusive urban planning to administrators who lead the planning, budgeting and day-to-day running of our cities. Lakeer's long-term vision is to enable a participative and data-led approach to govern these cities.
