  We derive the projectable version of Horava - Lifshitz gravity from the
localisation of the Galilean symmetry. Specifically we provide a dynamical
construction of the metric, from first principles, that reproduces the
transformations of the physical variables - lapse, shift and spatial component
of the metric. Also, the measure defining the action is reproduced. The
geometrical basis of the Horava-Lifshitz gravity is thereby revealed which also
elucidates its difference from the Newton-Cartan geometry - the spacetime of
Newtonian gravity. The connection of Newton's gravity with Horava-Lifshitz
gravity is elucidated.
