Urban areas are integral to India’s growth and development, accounting for over two-thirds of the country’s gross domestic project (GDP). Advocating India’s rapidly expanding process of urbanization, this book identifies the key challenges and engages with suitable managerial and policy reforms to tackle them. It addresses critical issues and puts forth adequate planning, better self-governance, improved financing and service delivery, and affordable housing, among others, as vital areas of improvement. Divided thematically into three distinct sections, the volume takes into account the important facets of urbanization including the state of services and planning in India, the role of finance in urban infrastructure, methods to generate good governance in public institutions, and the impact on housing and climate change, projecting urban areas as proponents of economic growth. Highlighting the gathering momentum of urbanization in India, the volume projects India to be at the epicentre of urbanisation in the near future. The volume will be indispensible to students and scholars of urban economics, development studies, urban planning, business practitioners, policymakers, policy analysts as well as the informed general readers.
