Development of Urban Infrastructure for Economic Growth

Ar Apurva Bose Dutta

With a population that has been mounting at an unprecedented rate, coupled with the swift pace of urbanisation (considering the rural-urban migration), lack of infrastructure that has hit most of the cities of India, there exists today a dire necessity for planned development of Urban infrastructure. While this needs to be essentially done to enhance the economic growth of the nation; but it is also imperative for a careful initiation of plans that can work swiftly and produce the desires upholding the aesthetic, sustainable and economic part of development. The road for India is difficult and challenging considering that the infrastructural development that other countries might have undergone in 100 years, India (due to its huge urban population) would have to do in 40 years. The nation also unfortunately faces a trained manpower crunch, the reason why technology will have to play a very crucial role in such a development.
