Times of India Litfest, The Other City & The Next Page

The Other City comprises debates, lectures, meetings and encounters with authors, policy makers, innovators, activists and all those bringing fresh perspectives to current ways of thinking about the city. Together, they pave a new path to the Smart City project through an alternate way, i.e. through “The Other City”.

Come and follow us on this journey, and become an active part of the cities of tomorrow.

Aurélien Bellanger, a French fiction writer who has inscribed the city as the main subject of his work, will spend two weeks of literary residency in Nagpur, from 1^st to 15^th of December. He will benefit from his stay by meeting the stakeholders of the Smart City Project, including through a civil society perspective.
