DESCRIPTION
Urban administration in India has attracted the attention of policy formulators, planners, administrators, sociologists and academia in recent few decades. Although the country has been witnessing a fall in growth in urban population, the concentration of population in larger urban areas has resulted into an urban chaos. The uncontrolled, unplanned and haphazard growth of urban centres is leading to great pressure on urban services, mushrooming of habitations with inhuman surroundings, degradation in environment, polluted air, water and noise. The cities are becoming inhabitable decade after decade. The institutional mechanism has either failed to cope with the situation or become weak and inefficient. The people are more vocal and demanding but less responsible and civil. The irreversible trend of urbanization warrants sustainable interventions.
