I wonder if the future of sustainable luxury lies in urban design - the way cities are built and how we live in them. A place where people can live peacefully, and where symbols of modesty are bicycles and hearing children's laughter. For example, an innovation could be a [luxury company] urban bicycle tour - a two hour stroll to a gallery, park and river.

Obviously, it's easier to ignore depending on our own current status. Nevertheless, since we are talking about India the recent Slumdog Millionaire movie and the lives of the young actor and actress show the disparity as life goes on for those of us not living in poverty or acute poverty. The father was cleared of offering his daughter for sale. How do you make a ultra high-end client more conscious of environmental, economic and social sustainability? I don't know...but the backlash can affect us all. A wise and mindful consumer will create their own conscience. I think we will all face the same challenge eventually. “Driving past a slum on your way to a glossy, new luxury shopping complex….” is happening and has been happening whether there is poverty or acute poverty.
