KEY POINTS
· Urbanisation gets a bad name in rich and poor countries because megacities 10 million-plus populations are unpleasant places to live for people who are not rich or powerful.
· Migrants that left our cities during the first lockdown last year are back because they were not running towards cities, but running away from sub-scale economic wastelands estimates suggest that 2 lakh of our 6 lakh villages have less than 200 people.
· India’s local government challenge reflects what historians call path dependence; unlike others, our democracy didn’t evolve bottom-up with local government rolling up into state governments that came together as a nation.
· Good urbanisation is also crucial to delivering economic justice for women, children and Dalits.
· Poor quality urbanisation has meant men-only migration, leaving the women with all the hard labour of farm work, raising the children, and looking after in-laws, while having virtually no recourse to health services, or to even emotional support of the spouse.
· Good urbanisation getting power and funds to cities needs chief ministers to sacrifice self-interest.
· Their reward will be undying duas of millions waiting for high-quality jobs and opportunities. India is lucky that Norman Borlaug prevailed over William Vogt in the food technology debate.
