Urban infrastructure financing in India: a proposed framework for ULBs
Aritra Halder, Dr. Rajni Kant Rajhans

International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (Inderscience), 2019

Infrastructure has been identified as the backbone of any economy as it provides channels of economic growth. For emerging economies like India, with 31% current urban population and contribution of 63% to GDP; the pie is expected to increase to approximately 40 percentages by 2031 with a GDP contribution of 70%-75%. This creates a need for rapid development as well as the strengthening of existing urban infrastructure to accommodate growing demand and to exploit its economic contribution. The extent of urban infrastructure development is delivered at three levels of governance; Centre, State and urban local bodies (ULBs). ULBs being the last level of governance for infrastructure development in urban India, they are grossly under-equipped to effectively generate revenues and raise capital. The present study has identified issues in the existing financing and assessment framework of ULBs and suggests a framework to rationalise their funding patterns and to bring competitiveness. The paper stresses the need of the proposed framework to bring smart city SPV and other ULBs at the equal platform.

Urban Development in North-Western India: Emerging Trends, Concerns and Strategies
Manoj Kumar K Teotia

Urban development in North-Western Region of India comprising Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Chandigarh is at cross roads. The Region is facing many crucial and new urban challenges in post liberalization era. The scale of emerging challenges, such as housing, slums, poverty, infrastructure and services, transportation, parking, environmental pollution, is unprecedented. Slums, with multiple deprivations, are growing rapidly even in the hilly states like Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir due to migration of the poor population. Urban development seems to be neglected in urban policy planning over successive planning eras. The onset of liberal regimes in promoting development of real estate markets, beginning of low interest home loans, lack of strong regulation of sale and purchase of land and housing seem to have made them the commodity for speculation. Housing problem seem to acquire serious dimension in the wake of rapid urbanization, commodification of land and housing, distortion in land market and weakening of public sector housing provision. The social segregation and marginalization of urban poor continue to be major challenges. The town planning is poor and local governance is weak to cope with haphazard urbanization and emerging urban problems in the region. The deficiencies in infrastructure and services are visible and people’s perception about the same is very poor. The social and environmental fabric of cities in the region is under stress. Based on compilation of extensive data on various aspects of urban development in North-Western India, the book is an attempt to contribute to the existing debate on emerging trends, concerns and strategies in urban development in India. With the discussion on the city and state level case studies from the region, the volume tries to explore how state and city governments in North-Western India have been dealing with the emerging urban issues and challenges and what sort of local policies are emerging to deal with the growing crucial urban problems. The volume provides good source of relevant data/ information to planners, local and state level policy makers and students of urban studies.
