Experts Call for Integrated Urban Planning and Improved Road Networks in Indian Cities
India's rapid urban growth presents challenges including inadequate housing, infrastructure, and road networks. With urban populations expected to reach 600 million by 2036, cities face issues like congestion, unsafe pedestrian access, and insufficient public transport. Experts emphasize the need for integrated urban planning that combines housing with transport, schools, and healthcare, alongside long-term road network development focusing on connectivity rather than just road widening. These approaches aim to improve liveability and accommodate future growth sustainably.
