Overview of Urbanisation in India: Challenges, Opportunities and the Way Forward Book

Urban areas are integral to India s growth and development, accounting for around two-thirds of the country s GDP. Analyzing India s rapidly expanding process of urbanization, the book identifies the key challenges and opportunities and proposes suitable managerial and policy reforms. It addresses critical issues and puts forth suggestions for better planning financing alternatives and, most importantly, better governance for improved service delivery and affordable housing. Divided thematically into three sections, the volume takes into account the important facets of urbanization, including the state of urban infrastructure and planning in India with due attention to sustainability, the role of finance in urban development and its dependence on governance and methods to generate good governance in public institutions and the impact on housing and climate change. The 11 essays included in this book have been written by leading analysts and practitioners, who propose critical reforms and policy interventions. The volume will be indispensable to students and scholars of urban economics, development studies, urban planning, business practitioners, policymakers as well as the informed general reader.
