ITPI journalSummary: Fast urbanizing India to inhabit 45 percent or more persons in its towns and cities by 2050
is facing numerous physical, social, and environmental challenges such as decreasing land-
man ratio, housing shortage, slums and squatters, traffic hazards, unsafe and insecure
environs, water supply shortage, insanitary conditions, solid waste mis-management,
environmental degradation, etc. Though the government has been making its sincere
efforts through its policies and programs to deal with these challenges but the recent
pandemic has questioned the preparedness of the governments to develop resilient cities
and communities of the future. Strategic channelization of urban development in the
context of COP 26 proceedings needs to be developed to create healthier, resilient and
sustainable cities. Following urban systems approach to urbanization, preparing natural
resource plans, planned peri-urban development, developing IT inclusive cities and smart
infrastructure, preparing smart city disaster management plans, developing ‘walkable
cities’ and transit oriented development, and green mobility solutions are suggested to
develop the future cities and communities as resilient and sustainable entities.
