This document discusses residential communities in India and opportunities to improve them. It notes that most communities have 200-1000 units and collect Rs. 3,250-13,000 per unit monthly in fees. Community management is typically informal. Opportunities exist to make communities prototypes for smart cities through waste management and energy conservation. Communities could also collaborate with local governments and uplift the local ecosystem. Unlocking these possibilities requires focus on social, financial, administrative, and environmental sustainability through a SAFE framework. Overall, well-managed communities can be centers of democratic leadership and improve local areas.
