How can we build livable cities in India?

For the past thousands of years India have been Ruralcentric.

It is villages which are centre for India's economic growth. It is villages and rual based economy which protected India from the grips of recession.

Social support system, Energy recycling, public safety are integral part of our rural communities.

Only answer to congestion and other problems in urban areas is to move to Rural areas.

According to me Livable cities need a reinforced and efficient social support system in India, so that the urban traffic, public safety and energy recycling networks will be turned more in scientific way and which is viable, and social security setups should expand or improve, and public resources should be allotted more rationally in a bid to upgrade the mitigation levels for urban disasters and create a harmonious development of the space for urban dwellers, which is increasing day by day.

Untill we as citizen and our officials as service providers and our leaders start owning the cities as there own belonging and not just a 'mandi' where they have been sold and are waiting to be sold further with enhanced value, cities can not become a better place to live.

Thanks,Pragya ji,i find no place to live by , the reasons are many,The one which is most potent is what Mr Vivek has cracked and another,the willful abuse of space.Show me the place,where there is peace,this is now a days a rare commodity.

The cities should be properly planned in all aspects. The citizens should be socially responsible for the regular maintenance

Go green , built green cities which are energy efficient , maximum natural sources must be utalised .Roads must be wide open with greenry given adequate space . All traffic must be eco friendly voilation of rules must be punished in such cities.
