of Urban Problems The causes of urban problems in India are as 1. Migration: People
migrate to towns/cities because of the relatively better employment opportunities available
there. 2. Industrial Growth: While the urban population growth rate is 4 per cent in India, the
industrial growth rate is about 6 per cent per annum. The Eighth Five Year Plan postulated
an industrial growth rate of 8 per cent per annum. This growth was expected to take care of
the additional job requirements in the cities. The tertiary sector also provides refuge to the
migrants though their earnings remain at low level. 3. Apathy of the Government: The
administrative mismanagement of our cities is also responsible for the mess in which
city-dwellers find themselves. Municipal governments have not kept pace with city growth
either spatially or on terms of management infrastructure. There is neither the will nor the
capacity to plan for the future. 4. Defective Town Planning: A more alarming factor in the
general deterioration in the standard of civic service is the growing sense of helplessness of
our planners and administration. 5. Vested interest Forces: The last cause of urban problems
is the vested interest forces that work against people but enhance private commercial
interests and profits. The city residents are usually powerless to affect decisions that the elite
make to further their own interests power and profit. When these powerful elite can make
more money, they adopt plans and programmes no matter how many people are hurt in the
process.
