Stating that urbanisation has created productivity in cities which was absent for decades, Anand Mahindra, chairman and managing director, Mahindra Group on Thursday said we need to reimagine urbanisation of India. “I disagree with the notion that productivity can’t happen in smaller, urban agglomerations. India cannot solve problems of rural to urban migration the way China did,” he said speaking at Mahindra World City Confluence 2017.
He shared his views in the panel discussion on the topic urbanisation. Amitabh Kant, NITI Aayog, CEO, who was also a member of the panel said, India should create cities which are compact and based on recycling models. “Urbanisation is not possible without the art of land monetisation. India must learn to create value for infrastructure we build,” he said. “We must do urbanisation in planned manner, one good thing is, India has begun the process now, he added.
