Need for a unified urbanisation plan
India needs a National Urbanisation Policy to address the gap between administrative and functional urbanisation. It should standardise urban classification, strengthen regional planning, empower municipalities and ensure predictable, formula-based finance. Functional-region governance, cooperative federalism and integrated rural-urban planning are essential for inclusive, sustainable and resilient urbanisation towards Viksit Bharat 2047.
