India needs to build dense cities; relook at standards for building construction: Sanjeev Sanyal
urban design and create dense cities which fits our esthetics, our way of living and are economically viable, Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM (EAC-PM) said calling for a need to redeploy land and old buildings and revisiting the standards set for building construction to allow more innovation in design.
“This requires us to rethink our architecture and town planning from bottom up instead of the prevalent top down approach,” he said on Wednesday while addressing a session on urban planning at the Global Economic Policy Forum 2024, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Citing the example of Chandigarh, which Sanyal terms as an economically unviable city, he said it is not a good idea to ever recreate Chandigarh again.
“Chandigarh occupies a huge amount of land to essentially house a very small number of people. It’s a subsidy scheme for bureaucrats. It’s not a city,” he said
Instead, he suggested Indian urban planners need to build denser cities which pay taxes, monetize land and do not occupy more farmland and forest land.
