The change in Hyderabad isn’t just in its skyline, it is unfolding on the ground. As an aircraft descends over the capital of India’s youngest State, the city unfurls in layers. The dense sprawl around the Charminar gives way to arterial roads slicing through packed neighbourhoods, feeding into the glass-fronted towers of the western IT corridor. Newer landmarks flash by — the cable-stayed bridge, stretches of green like the University of Hyderabad — before the city pushes outward again into ever-expanding residential edges.
