We produced this publication with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the National Institute for Urban Affairs in India, and BDP as part of a series that supports smart cities in India to develop neighbourhoods where infants, toddlers and their caregivers can thrive.
This collection of five publications is a vital resource for smart cities in India to create infant, toddler and caregiver-friendly neighbourhoods.
