As per my experience, when large financial projects are spread across wide geographical areas and multiple themes, it becomes challenging to deliver the intended outcomes. In contrast, large projects that are intensively designed for compact geographical areas with high investment density tend to create stronger on-ground impact.
For example, in India, recent landscape transformation projects are being designed to interconnect social, environmental, and economic issues within a defined area. This integrated approach is fostering inclusive ecological ecosystems and driving better economic outcomes. Such models highlight the importance of focus, local relevance, and adaptive design in achieving sustainable development goals.
