India Habitat Centre (IHC) was conceived to provide a physical environment that would catalyse a synergetic relationship between individuals and institutions working in diverse habitat-related areas and would maximize their total effectiveness. To facilitate this interaction, the Centre provides a superb range of facilities.

Representative of “ecology by design, India Habitat Centre was Stein’s most extensive project. It is perhaps most successful as a work of urban design. This place handles transportation and an enormous variety of public and private activities, from housing to banking to entertainment to food. A city within a city is an intellectual shopping centre that provides cheap green curry, great theatre, cutting-edge art and wonderful outdoor spaces that are comfortable even in summer.

Was the only one on the tour and the tour guide along with his partner did their upmost in providing me with the Best day possible. We started early in the morning, 7am, and we're done 4 hours or so later. A beautiful day and thanks to Abi and Mukrash for a most wonderful morning.
