Urban growth in India has been poised towards an upward curve and continues to remain so over the coming years reflecting the global trend. Today, more than half the world's population lives in urban areas while urban population in India has increased from 82 out of 431 million in 1961 to 410 out of 1285 million in 2015. The present 60% GDP in India from urban areas also reflects the economic significance of urbanisation and the corresponding Infrastructure development.

In the absence of an informed approach, development tends to be wasteful of resources and often leads to chaos rather than provide a solution. An integrated development approach to urbanagglomeration has become necessary in this context. Correspondingly, infrastructure planning and implementation within the urban agglomerates as well as the ones forming the networks between urban and rural centres needs to be informed by the experiences within the Indian context.
