Jeb Brugmann: Can India’s Cities Be Made to Work?

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

ConocoPhillips Environmental Lecture Series

Cities in India, which has a population of 1.2 billion people, have been starved of planning and investment for decades. Many lack formal public transport systems and suffer heavy congestion. Uncontrolled expansion has led to the creation of large slum areas in some of the most prosperous centers.

Jeb Brugmann argues that instead of clearing slums, India should use them for its poverty reduction strategy. Brugmann also states that Indian cities are currently copying Western city models blindly but instead should focus on developing on the basis of their own uniqueness.

Join Jeb Brugmann at Asia Society Texas Center as he explains what can be done to make Indian cities work.
