CONCLUSION
Until now, area-based development has received maximum attention and budgetary allocation. However, in future, the focus has
to shift more towards technology, as Bhubaneswar is an emerging education and business services hub with a large youth
population. However, the city is facing several environmental challenges like rising air pollution and road congestions which
could be directly attributed to the changing economic orientation of the city.
