Explanation:
With a population of 1.15 billion, and growing at almost 18 million per year, India will be the most populous nation by 2030, with as many as 1.4 billion or more inhabitants. Rapid urbanization is a reality in India with the opening up of the markets and improved investment opportunities. Urban centers offer better avenues for employment opportunities and reflect the transition from an agriculture-based society to a modern one.
The number of urban agglomerations/towns has grown from 1,827 in 1901 to 5,161 in 2001. With 340 million Indians living in our 5,161 cities and forming 30 per cent of the total population (urban GDP accounts for 58 per cent and is projected to rise to 70 per cent by the year 2030), our annual spend in per capita terms in urban areas is only $17. The Eleventh Five-Year Plan envisioned Indian cities to be the engine of economic growth over the next two decades. However, Indian cities have to be more livable, bankable and competitive in the years to come to match with the projected economic growth.
Unfortunately, infrastructure development in Indian cities is paltry and requires focused attention. The double digit growth rate that the country envisions in the coming decade faces immense infrastructural bottlenecks in cities. The larger cities attained inordinately large population sizes that have led to virtual collapse of urban services, followed by basic problems in housing, slum, water, infrastructure, quality of life, and other related aspects. Water, sanitation, sewerage, urban transport, city energy distribution, transport terminals, warehousing and logistics parks fall under the urban infrastructure category. Ancillary to the urban development is social infrastructure that includes healthcare, education, leisure and entertainment, retail, tourism, housing, exhibition and convention centers, hospitality, IT, and telecom.
