Planning for a Resilient and Low Carbon Urban India - Vol.19(1), Jan-Mar - New Delhi Institute of Town Planners 2022 - 1-10p.

Urban India is passing through rapid socio-economic transformation leading to increasing
carbon footprints, climate change and disasters. There are conflicts among spatial
planning and sustainability due to chronic peripheral development, increasing pollution,
transport, energy, and water consumption. It needs re-looking at the repertoire and
processes of urban development which should shift from fossil fuel era to the circular
concepts of urban planning, renewal, recycling and conservation of natural resources.
Leapfrogging in the areas of fourth industrial revolution would help in making the cities
resilient, pollution free and carbon negative.
