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
