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 techlogy and infrastructural advancements, where the amenities and facilities of modern day living are offset by an environment that allows life to thrive. 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. .
