With 16% of world population living on 2% of the world's land mass, no doubt India has some challenges to resolve... Two third of Indians still live in rural areas, though this is rapidly changing since an increasing number of them move to the cities. This in turn forms another challenge, since most cities are ill equipped to absorb the extra population, at least not in a sustainable and healthy way. The city of Surat however shows that it can be done...
We will see the same challenges in other parts of the world that are coping with emerging megacities. I wonder whether new solutions will arise from them.
