Goverment is finally beginning to show focus on good urbanism

Focus is now in tier 2 cities
>“It’s an unprecedented amount of devolution to local governments,” Srikanth Viswanathan, CEO of Janaagraha, a Bengaluru-based nonprofit that advocates for better city management, said to me. He estimates over $20 billion will go to cities with less than 500,000 in population. “This makes it plausible for our smaller cities not to make the same mistakes as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and urbanize well.”

Finally a fucking good thread. Thank you OP.
In general, buying land in Tier 1 is very expensive, with not too much gain in productivity. The main earning from these cities comes from foreign money and taxes. In terms of actual productivity, Tier 2 and 3 are much better.
One can also have a better QOL in general.
The only time , Tier 1 is better, is for dating. You have a larger pool of people to meet and interact with.

Idk who is following Hardeep Singh Puri's work on this. I like him as a thinker, read his books on foreign policy and can strongly recommend them to other anons.

This is bigger than just throwing money at it.

Do we have details on the schemes what to expect after this. Just throwing money to corrupt babus will not result in problems going away. It will just result in corrupt babus getting fatter.

The key to that is in tier 2 and 3 city having a chance of building up which tier 1 city (outside maybe Hyderabad and Mumbai) didn't do. That plus better planned public transport.

Why does no one read the article before commenting?
>In a break from the past, close to half the funds allocated by the Finance Commission are not tied to specific projects and can be spent on locally identified needs. There are also grants for special infrastructure — such as wastewater management — in larger cities (population of 1 million to 4 million) and a one-time urbanization payout to merge villages with an existing municipality, like Dibrugarh intends to do.

Yeah that’s just bullshit way of saying local politicians and babus get a cut
No plan whatsoever and no accountability as well

Local politicians will have their names tied to the project and it's execution. It's perfect for an ambitious enough man to get a headstart by building there.
China used a system not so different.

You know China doesn’t have corruption problems like our shithole right?
Try going to a municipal office once and all your optimism will fade away
We need more accountability at the lowest level which we don’t currently have.

>Try going to a municipal office once and all your optimism will fade away
I have, multiple times.
>We need more accountability at the lowest level which we don’t currently have.
And how else do you think we are going to bring it without tieing the electoral perfomance of politicians to it?
