Say it

With over 53 million-plus cities and around 13' 3 million-plus cities', India is the most dynamic destination to observe metropolitan processes and introduce the metropolitan discipline. Home to the world's 1/5th population, India is gradually moving towards 'regionalization' from 'Urbanization.' The introduced industrial corridors have to strike a fine balance between the constellation of metropolises such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Bangalore. Urbanization in India is a by-product of rural-urban migration, giving birth to new socio-economic and ecological inequalities. These can suitably be addressed by careful implementation of the Metropolitan discipline, as the 'urban discipline' is both incapable and incompetent to perform the same. With its strategic location, huge human resources, unique cultural ethos, and promising demographic calculus, India wishes to emerge as a sensible destination of economic development and environmental consciousness by thinking beyond 'Municipalism' and transforming into 'Metropolitanism.'
