Answer: Auroville
ON a February day in 1968, some 5,000 people from many countries gathered on a remote plateau in south India for the inauguration of Auroville. In a gesture of unity, young people from each delegation placed a handful of earth from their country in an inaugural urn containing the charter of the new city.
Auroville takes its name from the Indian mystic and philosopher Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) whose works and ideas inspired its creation. Also known as "the city of dawn" and "the city the Earth needs", it is this year celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of its foundation.
