Hyderabad: India of tomorrow or the Indian cyber city.

In Hyderabad, a new city emerges every 200 years. The city of the Qutb Shahi and the Nizam, founded in the 16th century, houses many mosques, palaces and Islamic universities, while that of the British, Secunderabad (the second city) built in the 18th century, is a business center with a European air. Cyberabad, the latest born, has the ambition of becoming the IT superpower of the 21st century.

Dozens of buildings spring up from the landscape: leisure centers, offices, housing, routes, raised bridges for pedestrians... The construction of an international airport is underway. All this is happening in Hyderabad. Ever since Microsoft took up offices in the gigantic scientific park of HITEC City, the city has been attracting all the giants in computing, for whom it is now constructing modern buildings. Bill Gates' Cyber Towers have already become an emblem of the city.

And Mario Botta (famous Swiss architect) has just completed the Madhapur Center, property of the mammoth company TATA, entirely dedicated to information technology.

A striking contrast between this city of

glass with 15,000 internet cafĂŠs, baptized Cyberabad and the old "pearl capital" with its superb marble and stone buildings: (Meca Masjid, one of the biggest mosques in the world / The Charminar, the symbol of the city, a triumphal arch that houses a mosque at its summit, a monument built to celebrate the end of plague epidemic in 1591 / The medieval cemetery of the Qutb Shah / The Golconde fortress where for 600 years tons of diamonds extracted from the region's mines were stored.)

Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Cyberabad: three names that evoke a multidimensional, historic and ultramodern city. Half Muslim, half Hindu, it reflects great religious tolerance. When the muezzin calls the faithful to the first prayer, you can hear at the same moment mantra chants in the temple of Birla Mandir...

Several projects are being developed so that Hyderabad maintains its position as a "futurist" city. One of them, moreover, has just been completed: a multimillionaire's caprice, the ne plus ultra of sites dedicated to cinema: Ramoji Film City.

From now on, these will be the biggest film studios in the world: serious competition for Bombay (Bollywood).

The project of two American masterminds, former engineers with Microsoft, verges on science fiction: New Oroville or the creation of the first e-factory-village. 4000 dome buildings with ultramodern vaults and resistant to earthquakes will house the offices and housing for thousands of computer scientists.
