The Conference was hosted by the India Foundation and Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center in partnership with the US Consulate General, Mumbai on 23-24 November, 2015 Hotel Taj Vivanta, Mumbai.
This conference convened high ranking policymakers, leading academics, policy practitioners, and security experts, mainly from India and the United States, to discuss security challenges confronting megacities such as Mumbai. We hope to provide a forum for candid conversation aimed at producing practical policy recommendations to serve as a basis for strengthening US-India as well as global cooperation in confronting megacity security challenges. Delegates were invited from other megacities such as London, Sydney, and Tokyo to examine governance challenges.
