India’s megacities face shrinking farmland and surging demand. By fusing Japan’s vertical farming technology with India’s smart city drive, “vertical villages” emerge as scalable, climate-resilient food systems that cut waste, lower emissions, and bring farms into the heart of cities.
India generates over 160,000 tonnes of waste daily but struggles with landfills and weak segregation. This study shows how Japanese models—from high-efficiency incinerators to Eco-Towns—can drive a shift toward circular cities and sustainable growth.
India’s Khadi and Japan’s Kimono, once symbols of national identity, now converge in a cross-cultural textile partnership. By blending hand-spun cotton with reeled silk and eco-conscious dyeing, the collaboration revives rural handlooms, preserves artisanal knowledge, and opens new avenues in sustainable luxury fashion.
