I spoke with Devashish Dhar, the author of the excellent book India's Blind Spot which talks about India's urbanisation crisis and solutions to it. We talk about
Why does India have a much lower reported rate of urbanisation than the rest of the world?
Explaining the global bias against cities
“Extremely high levels of traffic is caused by poor land policy”
Why are there so many floods in Indian cities?
How to climate-proof Indian cities
“India’s biggest unfulfilled promise is local government”
and much more!
