The report makes an in depth analysis of
what to expect of future urban population growth in cities
across India. Cities play a critical role in India's
development. While its one billion-plus population is
predominantly rural, over 300 million people live in urban
areas. One-third of this population lives in 35 urban
agglomerations or cities exceeding one million. Cities'
governments are responsible for delivering various public
services, yet severe infrastructures shortages in water
supply and sanitation, roads, transportation, housing and
waste management, and inefficient management have resulted
in poor quality services. These inadequate services and
worsening environmental conditions affect the poor. Between
1950 and 2000 India's urban population increased from
62 to 288 million. Already strained to provide services and
quality of life to existing urban residents, cities will
face tremendous challenges in expanding existing
infrastructure and avoiding deterioration of living
standards due to congestion, pollution, and lack of basic
services. A doubling of the population over 30 years means
that by 2030 there will be a second Mumbai, a second
Calcutta, and a second Bangalore that must be fed, supplied
with water, sanitation, electricity, give public and private
transportation options; and where garbage must be disposed
of. The report concludes by laying out a series of state and
local actions over the short-medium and long-term to enhance
fiscal sustainability and strengthening institutional
capacity building of state and local governments. |
