· in last 2 decades urban population increased by 45 mn per year
· at this rate, atleast 20000 houses and 6 million litres of water are required to meet basic needs of a burgeoning population
· a recent survey based on liveability index showed that none of asian cities are among the top 30
WAY AHEAD
· indian cities are usually linear urban corridors facilitated mostly by private motorised transport
· we need to shift towards a new city planning model. This involves

o thse should be linked with efficient and affordable public transport
