Urban Infrastructure – Essential for the Growth of India
 |
Mr. Nitin Kumar, Director & CEO, Fairwood. |
India, the largest democracy in the world, a vibrant nation full of resources, on the path of improving literacy rates has a great tendency to adopt and compete with the best of international trends and technologies. The key for the development of India as a nation will solely be dependent on striking the right balance of urban development alongside the infrastructure growth. While cities in India are full of vibrant activity and energy, they are also becoming disordered, complex, and too often congested.
India's urban population is larger than the entire United States, and is second only to China's. It is clear that India's urban population will continue to grow, probably doubling in the next couple of decades. The scale and potential is enormous. To meet the challenges of this inevitable and rapid urbanization, India needs well-performing cities and the integrated infrastructure development will be the key.
It has now become imperative that helping the Indian cities to function efficiently is mandatory for the better future of the country. At the same time, we need to be extra cautious while designing the new cities so that the mess that we are witnessing now can better be avoided.
