Deliberated on the future of India’s urban planning under leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji

Jul 13,2023

Deliberated on the future of India’s urban planning under leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji, with stakeholders of sustainable urban development, including town & country planners, government officials, & partners at National Conclave on Urban Planning today.Due to criminal neglect of urban development, only ₹1.78 lakh cr were invested in urbanisation between 2004 to 2014. But Modi Govt has spent more than ₹18 lakh cr in last 9 years on upgrading critical urban infrastructure while mainstreaming climate change, gender & heritage. Ambitious, large-scale schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban, Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation & Urban Transformation (AMRUT) & Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, have fundamentally altered the urban development paradigm. In the last 2 years, attention has been given to implementing urban planning reforms, especially to make cities attractive destinations for investments. Reforms have been incentivised & prioritised. States have benefitted by funds received for undertaking urban planning reforms.As we aim to build an inclusive, resilient, & sustainable urban form that can support the aspirations of the country. I am confident that deliberations at the two-day conclave will throw up lots of good ideas.
