Challenges

The United Nations estimates that 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas in 2050. Cities are expected to be larger and more numerous, and a significant percentage of them will be in emerging economies. According to the World Economic Forum, rapidly growing cities face major challenges related to infrastructure, resource management, quality of life, climate resilience and urban governance.

    India is one of the 9 countries that are expected to grow the fastest by 2050. According to the UN World Population Prospects 2019, India will overtake China as the most populous country in the world. Challenges are already evident in urban planning: Pune, a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is facing environmental degradation, including pressure on land and water resources, social segregation, and limited institutional capacity, despite the fact that master plans are already being developed and considerable resources are being devoted to finding solutions. Hopes are pinned on new forms of urban planning cooperation between private and public authorities.
