Describe an issue a city would face (infrastructure, budgeting, self-driving cars). Discuss alternative solutions to that issue. Discuss why you believe the alternatives would be best for the problem. Include citations for your solutions.
Growth of urban infrastructure played an important role in the
development of cities and urban areas. This showed the overall
development of the country. The major infrastructure challenges
faced in urban areas are management of drinking water and public
transportation and waste management. Some of them are very crucial
in nature, like;
Financing; most of the infrastructure are capital intensive
oriented and the funding for this needs are most important. The
investment for this infrastructure can be divided into public and
private. Essential sectors for public needs were financed by
government itself.
Land acquisition; important infrastructure development which
compensated fixed in terms of registered value. Land Acquisition
and Rehabilitation & Resettlement Bill will be able to tackle
the land acquisition favourably.
Environment Impact Assessment; safeguards regarding environment and
its guidelines is one of the major reason for delay in
infrastructure projects.
Poor pre-construction planning; adverse effect of various
impediments like land acquisition, statutory approvals, delayed
financial closure etc. made the weak condition of pre-construction
planning.
Solution for this challenges are; (i) there must be efficiency in
conducting the environmental potential concessionaire, (ii)
necessary condition behind the improvement in the investment
climate, (iii) development of satellite cities for mass transport
system make control over the migration of people to urban areas,
(iv) environment clearance programme through single window
statutory (v) effective coordination of fast project roll.
The efficiency in these solutions will enhance the future
development and well being and also protect the sustainable
development. Urban infrastructure should be maintained for the
overall development. There is a rising population level in urban
countries can be seen in developing countries. The reason behind
this is the industrialisation, globalisation and the efficiency in
the availability of different development measures. So the
infrastructure management will make an assurance among the people
regarding the development policies. Restoring the infrastructure
development in urban areas is one of the most important aims of all
the policy makers in state and central.
