About "India struggling to tackle its cities" topic:

Traffic jams. Delayed flights. Crowded trains. That is the reality of any big city in India. The future could be much worse. The country's cities are expected to grow by an additional 250 million, mostly young people, over the next two decades. Without massive investment and thoughtful planning, chaos will ensue.

India over the next 20 years to turn that influx of young population into a quadrupling of per-capita income. This growth hinges on adequate investment in cities so they can handle the surge in people and the simultaneous increased demand on services. The urban migration, if properly handled, could generate 70% of net new jobs and produce 70% of India's GDP.

But how will that happen, So lets discuss what are the infrastructure plans that should we make for the next 2 decades and how are we meeting this high demand that will arise in near future??

1 Urban development should become a priority
2 LOCAL BODIES LIKE URBAN DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PROVIDE MULTISTORIED PARKING & STRICTLY FOLLOW SET BACK RULES.
shailesh  |  Added idea  "Emphasis should be given to rural areas."  |  1 year ago
If we really want to develop our urban areas we should give the priority of development of the rural areas. As the population burden on the cities are growing very much so the crime and other unfair trade practises are increasing. Emphasis should...

SRIDITHAR JI , THANKS FOR THE REFRAL . YOUR IDEA IS GOOD AND  IT CAN BE A GOOD ONE THAT THE VILLAGES WILL ALSO BE DEVLOPED ALONGWITH THE URBAN DEVLOPMEMT.
Dipak Bhattacharya  |  Supported idea  "Urban development should become a priority"  |  1 year ago
If you ask me, what is more important is urban decentralization. Look at Delhi. Is there any dearth of development ? Is there any shortage of money pouring in? How many flyovers have been constructed in the last 10 years?Did you find any...

C Nijagunaradhya  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
It may not work to a great extent. Because every person has the same CASUAL attitude of '' chalta hai'' in India on roads while driving. Its all in the mentality. But i do also support because today Social networking sites is the best way to...
Suvrajit Gangopadhyay  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Absolutely i agree with Mr. Surya. This is a masterstroke by the government the target is the youth. Considering that most of the accidents that take place or the cases of drunk driving involve the youth, the govt. has got it right this time by...

This should be in the Ideate section. The starting point is issuing licences - in a country like Dubai , you cannot get a licence unless you can show you are a good driver , "good" meaning that you know all the traffic rules , and that you adhere...

1 Public transport
2 Restrictions from governmnet
rakeshbhatnagar  |  Added idea  "RAPID AND FREQUENT PUBLIC TRANSPORT MUST BE PROVIDED AND TAXWS OVER PRIVATE VECHILES MUST BE INCREASED."  |  1 year ago
Provide rapid public transport with nice frequency to avoid rush and ease of travelling .Except this if appropriate services are provided than to avoid private vechiles increase taxes on private vechile to discourage the private vechile. 
MAJETY CHANDRA SHEKHAR  |  Added idea  "Public transit system"  |  1 year ago
The public transit system shall be maximised and vehicle ban shall be done for one day in a week. The companies / government offices shall be 5 day week

Traffic management is not taken seriously & we are also responsible for making it a mess by violating the rules & arguing with traffic cop. & also not supporting whole- heartedly to their movement of teaching traffic rules.
Sasi Kumar P  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
The Traffic management is not taken serious in India. What ever the projects are taken by the government, going very slowly and more problems are raising because of the slow works.

Integrity of any political party and its worthiness is judged from the way they conduct themselves in the Parliament and make themselves worthy to the people who elected them.   Democracy is strangled when elected representatives, ignore the needs and aspirations of the people whom they represent. Democracy is strangled, when the political parties stoop down to use the communal feeling of one group against other to come to power and compelled to oppress other communities to appease its supporters. Democracy is strangled, when ‘Playing dirty Politics’ become the main business and theme of the Government and Political parties that support and oppose the government. "The Bitter Pills for India Reprieve" I wrote this in this community in  toosteps.com few years back. The article is available in the following link in www.wordpress.com   http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-5I

India-Iran Drama Continues If Iran really was behind the February 13 attack  on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, Indian officials need be asking one key question: why? After all, despite the fact that India has voted against Iran twice at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), New Delhi has seemingly continued to have friendly relations with Tehran. And why would Iran choreograph an attack like this at a time when India is seriously engaged in trying to negotiate a complicated arrangement with Tehran to pay for oil it has bought? (India owes billions of dollars in lieu of oil it has already received over the years). One suggestion has been that Iran didn’t take the West-led censure motions at the IAEA as well it seemed, and could in effect be punishing a supposed ally for challenging it in an international forum in this way. Regardless, the Indian media has been surprisingly quite on the sensitive question of Iranian involvement.  The device used by the lone perpetrator...
