Designing the Next 100 Years of Human Living

For Jimmy Mistry, Founder & CMD of Della Townships, a lifetime of designing experiences across Architecture, Interiors, Hospitality, Adventure and Real Estate has led to a larger question: How should humanity live for the next 100 years?

Cities designed for another era must respond to a world transformed by Technology, Climate, Longevity, new ways of working and an evolving relationship between people and nature.

This demands more than better buildings. It demands a new way of thinking about human living

That Belief Led to the Creation of Della Townships

Envisioned as real-world laboratories for future-fit living, these integrated luxury townships bring together Architecture, Technology, Nature, Wellness, Mobility, Hospitality, Work, Entertainment and Human Experience within one ecosystem.

Alongside commercially successful developments, Della Townships is creating platforms for experimentation and research, from microalgae-based carbon capture and converting landfill waste into next-generation construction materials to Salutogenic Planning, Biophilic and Biomimetic Architecture, Regenerative Systems and Invisible Technologies.

Architects, designers, engineers, scientists, researchers, technologists and specialists from India and around the world are coming together to test, commercialise and build the future.

“The Future Cannot Only be Discussed. It Has to be Built.”

At the heart of this vision is an ambition to reverse the lens for the world to look towards India for ideas shaping the next generation of human living. Della Townships aims to create places that add years to life and life to years, centred on human wellbeing, experiences, community and nature, while remaining commercially viable and scalable.

This is an ongoing experiment across townships, laboratories, disciplines and global collaborations, continually questioning how people can live better. The ambition extends beyond Della: to contribute to a larger body of knowledge and establish India as a place where ideas shaping the next 100 years are imagined, tested and built.
