It was the brain child of the HuDCO Chairman , Santosh Sharma. The India Habitat Centre is one of ~~India’s~~India's most comprehensive [[convention center]]s that is aimed at bringing individuals and institutions working in diverse habitat and environment related areas together. Divided into five blocks which are connected with aerial walkaways, IHC can conduct up to 20 concurrent sessions from socio-cultural events and exhibitions to business and economic events.<ref>{{Cite web\|last=coveringindia.com\|title=India Habitat Center\|url=https://www.coveringindia.com/attraction/india-habitat-center\|access-date=2020-12-14\|website=CoveringIndia\|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=Indian Habitat Center, New Delhi\|url=https://www.archinomy.com/case-studies/indian-habitat-center-new-delhi/\|access-date=2020-12-14\|website=Archinomy\|language=en-US}}</ref> It has a Visual Art Gallery, Library and Resource Center, Learning Center, Amphitheater, Conference & Banquet Halls and Restaurants.<ref>{{Cite web\|last=Centre\|first=India Habitat\|title=IHC {{!}} India Habitat Centre - Home\|url=https://www.indiahabitat.org/\|access-date=2018-06-15\|website=www.indiahabitat.org\|language=en}}</ref> Line 25 ⟶ 23: The India Habitat Centre was started in 1993. The public agency for [[Housing and Urban Development Corporation]] (HUDCO) wanted an office building for its workers and made the unprecedented decision to invite chosen [[nonprofit organization]]s that shared their concern with [[Human#Habitat and population\|habitat]] to share that work space. The chairman of HUDCO Santosh Sharma and the architect [[Joseph Allen Stein]] decided to radically change the traditional image of an office building as an architectural project and transformed it into an urban design project. The space was designed to permit the members of the ~~Centre~~centre to share services both inside and outside the building with multiple courtyards, common meeting rooms, shared parking area, library, restaurants, museum, and hotels, some of which are open to the general public. Constructed on nine acres in an urban area, the building eschewed traditional building materials and techniques.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://archnet.org/authorities/412/sites/1378\|title=Joseph Allen Stein {{!}} India Habitat Center {{!}} Archnet\|website=archnet.org\|access-date=2018-06-17}}</ref> == Events and exhibitions == Line 35 ⟶ 33: In 2009, the India Habitat Centre co-hosted the inaugural Habitat Summit with Mirabilis Advisory and Urban Habitats Forum, a professional civil society initiative which aims "to serve as a multi-disciplinary public awareness and educational platform".
