By 2040, over half of India's population will live in cities and
towns. How many of them will live in slums? To prevent intense
migration pressure on the handful of metros and state capitals and
the resulting urban dehumanisation, policymakers must urgently
focus on reviving India's small towns and big villages. Yet, most
small town municipalities are in shambles; they lack resources,
planning, data, maps, incentives and proper accounting. Corruption
and power politics dog them, and citizens have no say or role in
their running. This book looks at the kaleidoscope of municipal
finance issues in India, keeping the small towns at the core, and
argues for a radical change in the constitution and working of
these municipalities, with effective devolution of funds,
functions, and functionaries from the state level. It contends that
municipal bodies need to function independently and with real
participation of citizens to be the force of change that gives
birth to a new urban India.
