Satish Kumar P.A. 1003014 Srinivas P 1003019

Lavasa:Lavasa, India’s planned hill city, embodies the spirit of human nature to Live, Work,

Learn and Play in harmony with nature. It is a self-contained world that is the

perfect combination of technology and infrastructural advancements, where the

amenities and facilities of modern day living are offset by an environment that

allows life to thrive. Lavasa-a planned hill city is a continuous buzzing centre for

business. Located between two major cities - Mumbai and Pune, Lavasa is suitable

for industries such as hospitality, tourism, health, education and IT & ITES.

Lavasa is India's planned hill city being developed by HCC. It is located in the picturesque landscape of

the Sahayadri Mountains and is set amidst hills, at the shore of Warasgaon lake. The unique focus and

guiding philosophy of Lavasa is to make it a desired location for business and education to leisure and

entertainment. Lavasa has been structured to encourage a dynamic city community, with its Town Halls

and cobbled lakeside promenades for shopping, entertainment and eating out. Lavasa is planned for a

permanent population of 3 lakh residents and a tourist inflow envisaged at 20 lakh per annum. A 3 hours

drive from Mumbai and an hour’s drive from Pune, the city is 1/5 the size of Greater Mumbai. Based on

the principles of New Urbanism it is meticulously planned to strike a balance between urban living and

preservation of the environment. The Master Plan of Lavasa, developed by HOK, USA, has won 4

awards.
