Setup in 2008 with the mission to build sustainable and liveable cities, WRI India has been helping local bodies use integrated planning approaches that optimize land use, natural resource conservation and economic development for urban infrastructure investments. It does this by deploying full‐time, on‐the-ground, cross‐sector teams to provide integrated analytical and programme management support to urban local bodies.
Our grant to WRI India will enable it to scale its operations across multiple cities, and improve the living conditions of 300M + urban citizens.
It will use a three-fold approach to drive impact at scale.
