Concern over the density of population in the cities, Urban Dev Minister S Jaipal Reddy said need to go for high rise buildings. If the minister mind frame was to take shape, the ground reality of Indian Cities may change.
These centres would disseminate best practices in the area of municipal service delivery and reform, development of dynamic integrated land-use planning model, preparation of climate change adaption plan for cities and development of design guidelines for comprehensive decentralised waste water management system.
Reddy said in India urbanisation was only 30 per cent even as half the world was living in urban areas in 2007.
"This is an opportunity to prepare ourselves for the urban challenge...It is a huge monumental challenge," he said on the growing urbanisation and the need to provide delivery mechanism to the urban population.
He said urbanisation was inevitable and as it could aggravate the problem of environment, the issue has to be looked into as well.
