Question

) The capital of India, New Delhi, has been experiencing one of the fastest urban

expansion in the world. Can you think of two reasons why that is so?​

Answer 1

Politics and, now, pollution keep Delhi forever in the news, but a third P has gone missing from the discourse on the capital: population growth, which has soared during the last two decades, and its disastrous fallout.

Already, India’s capital city is the world’s second most populous urban agglomeration. The future is even more frightening: a United Nations report released in mid-2018 says Delhi could be the world’s most populous city by 2028 with 37.2 million people. That is eight million more in just 10 years.
