Construction & Smart City
Building sustainably, urbanizing intelligently, connecting territories
Between 2025 and 2030, construction and the development of smart cities are becoming structuring challenges for economic growth, ecological transition, and quality of life. Rapid urbanisation, demographic pressure, and climate objectives are driving a profound transformation of urban models.
France and India share common priorities: sustainable buildings, energy efficiency, resilient urban infrastructure, smart mobility, and the integration of digital technologies into city management. This convergence creates a privileged ground for technological, industrial, and institutional cooperation.
