Metro corridors, expressways, airports and transit-led development are creating new residential and commercial hubs across India’s major cities.

India’s largest cities are entering a new phase of urban development, one increasingly shaped by infrastructure-led expansion rather than traditional city-centre growth. A decade ago, most development was concentrated around a few established business districts and residential neighbourhoods. Today, that pattern is changing quickly as infrastructure begins to reshape how cities expand and how people choose where to live.
