Overview

Future City: Visions of a green future is an initiative by social advocacy group Jhatkaa.org to rally support for mobilizing residents of Indian cities to demand a cleaner, better future. It is a series of Augmented Reality Installations where viewers are transported into a future city that offers better amenities such as specific cycle lanes, EV charging points, blue skies, and green zones; thereby showcasing the possibility of an eco-friendly future.
