Sakshi Nanda’s journey blends her insights from both India and the United States, offering a unique and thought-provoking perspective on suburban planning. Her experiences offer a compelling comparison of suburbs in both countries, highlighting how they can learn from one another.

Mumbai and the American suburbs offer valuable lessons that can be combined to create more livable and sustainable suburban communities. Mumbai`s high-density living maximizes land use and creates vibrant, connected neighborhoods. In contrast, the American suburbs prioritize green spaces, larger homes, and lower-density living, contributing to a more peaceful environment. By combining higher-density housing with accessible green spaces, such as parks and rooftop gardens, we can create sustainable and livable communities, similar to models seen in cities like Portland, New York etc.
