The document discusses ensuring world-class civic amenities in urban India. It notes that India has over 1.17 billion people across 28 states and 7 union territories, and is very diverse in languages and religions. It also has the second largest human resources in the world. One of the biggest challenges is how to plan and manage large urban populations. There is a need to focus on urban health as India's urban population is expected to increase significantly by 2030, and currently many urban residents live in slums with worsening conditions. Suggested solutions include emphasizing the environment to mitigate climate change, and transforming cities into more sustainable places through infrastructure renewal focused on water, energy, and transportation.

5. Challenge,…
• One of the biggest challenges of 21st century is to
understand phenomenon of urban agglomeration. Most of
the 20th century’s concept and visions about cities are
being questioned. New approaches need to be invented;
other actions/methods needs to be incorporated in the
existing work methods. It is essential to search for new
techniques to deal with large urban agglomeration and
application of GIS and Remote sensing technique at the
various stages of planning, implementation and monitoring
of the urban projects.

6. Need to Focus on Urban Health
 The urban population in India is expected to increase to more than 550 million
by 2030
 Currently, a sizable proportion of the population in most Indian cities lives in
slum areas
 The increasing slum population is seen an indication of worsening living
conditions and increasing poverty in Indian cities
 The increasing concentration of the population in slums and urban poverty have
drawn a strong interest in urban health in general, and the health of slum
dwellers and the urban poor in particular

8. Education System
Is reasonably good for the top 20%
But it is abysmal for the rest
o 1 in 4 teachers is absent in government
primary schools
o Hence, 54% of children in urban India are
in private schools.
Solution: Education Vouchers

9. What to do?
• emphasize the environment, since a rise in CO2 emissions
can cause an increase in temperature, entailing CLIMATE
CHANGE, SEA LEVEL RISE, STORMS AND CYCLONS, MASSIVE LOSSES IN
VEGETATION AND extinction of SPECIES.
• infrastructure renewal by transforming urban centers into
efficient, sustainable cities using integrated water system,
green economy, reuse and smart grid infrastructure and
fast urban transportation systems
