About this listen

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!
