When Rajiv Gandhi Said: “Cities Are the Future of India”

As India rapidly urbanized in the 1980s, cities brought new opportunities in education, healthcare, roads, and infrastructure. But they also faced growing challenges—slums, housing shortages, and rising costs of living.

Recognizing that cities would become the engines of India’s economic growth, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi supported the creation of the National Commission on Urbanization. The goal was simple but ambitious: improve urban planning and prepare Indian cities for the future.

This short explores the vision behind one of India’s earliest major efforts to address urban development and city management.
