Housing
Indias urban housing shortage is estimated at nearly 18.78 million households in 2012
Urbanization is likely to grow till 2050 at a CAGR of 2.1% double that of China
Environmental Sustainability:
Constraints:
Proposals:
Affordability:
Implement subsidized rental housing owned and managed by the
central or local government. Nearly 85% of Singapore and 50% of Hong
Kong avail of such public housing schemes.
Purchase by long-term tenants and Interim Housing are further
possibilities.
Transportation
WHY IS A SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT SYSTEM CRUCIAL?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Use Transportation Gap concept introduced by
Gabriel Bouladon. Fill all possible Tranportation
Gaps possible.
2. Public Transit System introduction is crucial to
develop an effective transportation system.
3. Cooperative society for car pooling and car
sharing.
4. Improve efficiency of Freight Transport
Operations through facilities such as
Consolidation Centers or Freight Villages.
5. Use Web based technology for freight
optimisation and Intelligent Transport System (
ITS).
6. DENSE USE DEVELOPMENT AND MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CITIES.

Sanitation

Healthcare
Community or block based desalination plants for cities located in water scarce regions
Introduction of water ATMs concept at places of semi permanent residence in cities like in construction sites
Water harvesting for water storage as well as ground water replenishing to be compulsorily introduced
A system of water quota and differential pricing system could be introduced

Involvement in stages:
I. In City Planning, Design & Development:
End-users (future city-dwellers) actively
reveal preferences for urban infrastructure
and services to the private sector (that
executes the city-projects supported by
state funds)
Such a consumerist approach via
information-sharing
helps
promote
innovative solutions and greater citizensatisfaction

Proposal
Planning:
London micro-plans everything in a cascaded system with a
metropolitan master plan and implementation in detail at the borough
level. London plans for peak morning traffic 20 years in advance.
Planning in India, although extant, is esoteric rather than practical.
Projects that failed in Delhi, like the BRT, are nonetheless being
replicated in Pune.
Governance:
Empower city administration
Accountable, empowered directly elected mayor
Fully formed metropolitan development authorities with clearly
defined roles.
Update service delivery mechanisms by moving to corporatized
agencies like BEST
Create a Civil services cadre dedicated to city governance, with
private sector lateral entry
Implementation
By 2030, approximately 590 million (from 290 million in2001) will live in cities.
68 cities will have population of over 1 million: India will need $1.2 trillion additional investment
Financing:
