ITPI journalSummary: The paper attempts to identify possible areas of sectoral interventions in the light
of predicted urbanization focusing on quality of life, climate change, and a reliable
economy as pillars of cities’ sustainable existence. The sectors considered are mobility,
water supply and sanitation, energy, governance, urban sprawl, environmental quality
maintenance, urban poverty and blight, housing, economy, aging population and
amenities, climate change, and healthcare. The study presents a conceptual table
listing the critical/priority sector for the upcoming three decades, 2020-30, 2030-
40, and 2040-50, for each category of cities. The intent is to integrate the extent of
government interventions in the sectors identified with the rising requirements due
to urbanization. Existing research rarely links quality of life to the policies in force,
degree of government interventions and future needs. Such a piecemeal approach to
reviewing policy without understanding the efficacy of interventions is inadequate to
solve fundamental problems in improving the quality of life in urban areas. In conclusion,
policy formulation, re-engineering, smart interventions, and regular monitoring and
feedback system are mentioned as solutions/strategies and thereby to resolve sectoral
deficiencies.
