It is increasingly recognized that India
is urbanizing rapidly, that urbanization is accompanying and
contributing to economic growth, but that living conditions
in urban areas are often not adequate, particularly for the
poor. Health, nutrition, and population conditions are an
important part of the urbanization equation. This paper
explores the extent to which health, nutrition, and
population conditions may be contributing to the benefits of
urbanization, as well as the extent to which they may
reflect its costs. This is an exploratory study that reviews
available information on health, nutrition, and population
conditions in urban India. Recognizing that national
generalizations and statistics may mask considerable
diversity in how the opportunities and challenges of
urbanization and health are met in different cities across
the country, this paper also draws on specifics of four case
studies: Chennai in Tamil Nadu, Bhubaneswar in Odisha,
Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, and Shillong in Meghalaya. The
summary section provides an overview of this exploratory
analysis, discussing the patterns and issues that emerge,
along with policy implications in section one. This
introductory section two briefly discusses how urbanization
and health may be conceptualized, and describes the
methodology of this paper. Section three describes
governance and organization of urban health systems.
Sections four and five review data on the demographic and
epidemiological situation in urban India, as well as service
utilization. Section six analyzes disparities in health
outcomes and access to services, and section seven focuses
on water supply and sanitation in urban areas. |
