India gridlocked: Be a solution, not the problem
India boasts of 475 urban agglomerations as per Census 2011. Of the 1.423 billion people India is proud to host, 36.36 percent live in urban areas today. The World Bank estimates 40 percent of India’s population will live in urban areas by 2036, contributing to 70 percent of the country’s GDP. As cities look progressively vertical—Rajkot is a stark new example—the imagery of our flatter villages look all the more charming to those tired of living in towers akin to stacked matchboxes. It is not that the traffic police systems in our cities are perfect, but we need to share the blame as city planners and, more importantly, citizens as users of our roads and city-arteries.
