INDIA NEEDS TO BUILD NEW CITIES

A study shows that India by 2026 will need 14 Delhi's or 18 Mumbai's or 30 Bangalore's! But how do we create so much of livable urban space or locate the resources and people needed to deliver it?
In many ways this will be the key challenge facing India for the next few decades. It is high time to change the development model- the time has now come to sustain the development of the already developed cities and towns . Time has come now to FOCUS AND CHANNELISE MORE FUNDS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL TOWNS SO THAT THEY ARE DEVELOPED INTO U;TRA MODERN CITIES REFLECTING THE INDIAN ETHOS AND CULTURE.
The sole answer is to plan them in a better way. It will be easier to plan /replan these small towns because being small they have a very small baggage of non planned development. Thus these towns will be easier to redefine according to the new plans and models so as to develop these into towns with all modern amenities.
LET A NEW INDIA EMERGE THROUGH THESE NEW TOWNS RATHER THAN CONTAIN,PRESERVE AND CORRECT OLD NON PLANNED FAULTY CITIES AS IS BEING DONE TILL NOW . IT IS BETTER TO HAVE NEW PLANNED CITIES/TOWNS RATHER THAN HAVE SEMI PLANNED CITIES/TOWNS WITH EVER GROWING SLUMS.
