Directions (Q.11-15): Read the following passage and answer the given questions based on it. Onephrase is printed in bold to help you locate it while answering some of the questions.

Managing urban development to keep pace with internal migration is a major challenge for India. As more

people shift from agriculture to industry and services, cities are faced with a massive influx of migrants. Given

limited capacities, urban infrastructure is bursting at the seams. World Bank projections show urban centres

accounting for 40% of India’s population by 2030 and crossing 50% by 2040 -45. Given our traditional

lacklustre attitude towards urban development – thanks to a political bias in favour of rural India – our cities

are looking at bleak futures unless we tackle the issue now.

It is in this backdrop that the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project to build new futuristic citiesassumes significance. Expansion of existing urban metropolises is insufficient to deal with demand. By 2020,

there will be a shortfall of 30 million urban dwelling units, 200 million water connections and 160 GW of

power. In many cases, such as Delhi and Kolkata, expansion is simply not possible due to constraints on land.

Short of Baron Haussmann’s forcible renovation of Paris in the 19th century to decongest the French capital,

building new cities from scratch is the best way to quickly create urban infrastructure.

Based on model urban cities such as Suzhou in China and Songdo in South Korea, the DMIC project envisages a

total of 24 ‘smart cities’ spanning six states. On completion, they will boast of state-of-the-art infrastructure

with centrally integrated civic services such as water, power and sewage disposal. The lesson from the Delhi

experience is that a multiplicity of authorities only leads to confusion in urban development. A central body

that oversees all services will be far more efficient in coordinating public works and repair. An integrated,accessible public transport system is the foundation of smart cities and a much-needed antidote to the chaos

that the burgeoning number of private vehicles is creating in urban India. This entails creating multiple

transportation options that smoothly feed into each other. Energy efficiency and clean technology must be the

watchwords.

All of these will only be possible if there is sufficient devolution of power in favour of strong city governments.

Whether it is New York, London or Tokyo, great cities have empowered local councils to manage affairs of

development. Mumbai is a classic example of a city where infrastructure woes are directly linked to the absence

of an effective local government besides negligence of state authorities. New cities must be provided with

strong mayoral institutions to avoid a similar fate. For inclusive growth, we need new cities not just along theDMIC corridor but in the rest of the country as well.
