Crimes in the form of theft, tresspass in the night, housebreaking and related grevious hurt and murders is a serious threat to Urban living,especially single person living in independent houses.Solution might be CCTV Camera in the street located at high level along with street light and connected to Police station, which have artificial intelligence capabilities to deduct tresspass/house breaking and give alert.Alarms,Help from nearby by neighbours and friends using apps/whatsapp may helpfull

Water Supply -It is pathetic that the government is unable to ensure safe drinking water, this is evidenced by the peoples lack of trust in government supplied water for drinking and cooking and instead choose to buy bottled water, this is extreme bad situation the bottled water companies may be afraid to loose business and might create a barrier to prevent the government in its efforts to supply safe water supply 24x7 in the city.Contamination of piped water is a risk, which needs solution

Public Transport-Road,metro,railways,Bi-cycles all integrated with last mile connectivity should be encouraged as affordable, accessible, efficient, and safe transportation.Car should be allowed only for public transportation for share riding purpose, people should be explained of the benefits of using shared transport like reduced costs, savings in foreign exchange as lesser fossil fuel need be imported,pollution will be reduced, savings in fuel import cost can be used for other welfare purpose

Biggest barriers to affordable, accessible, efficient, and safe transportation is lack of qualified planners.Transportation planning should be integrated into civil engineering and lateral thinkers should be encouraged right from education stage and allowed to be continued in practice.Outed planning should be replaced by innovative possibilites like undeground road network, pedestrian and bicycle networks,where land is a constraint, subject to feasibility studies and benefits outweighing costs

Biggest barriers to affordable, accessible, efficient, and safe transportation seems to be v interested Co like car manufacturers who might push for private transport cars which are least efficient as 1 person is using the same instead of 5 ,require polluting, expensive, fossil fuels.The central govt& state might also encourage this as it might get GST and fuel cess and give jobs to the people in the car industry,on the whole private cars to be discouraged and public transport to be encouraged

Biggest barriers to affordable, accessible, efficient, and safe transportation seems to be vested interests and corruption.Students for Bachelors and Masters in Planning Education should be selected strictly on merit,ethics and honesty,special test should be conducted to test the ethics and honesty of the candidates,the students should be asked to give undertaking that,if they are found to be corrupt,the Degree granting University should be empowered to recall & cancel the degree of the corrupt

1 मूलरूप से शहर का अतिक्रमण हटाया जाना चाहिए जो ट्रांस्पोर्टेसन में सबसे बड़ी बाधा बनती है। 2 अधिकाँश छोटे शहरों में सार्वजनिक क्षेत्र की(जल ,भूमि,स्वास्थ,शिक्षण,पार्क,स्ट्रीट,फारेस्ट,माइंस,धार्मिक,ऐतिहासिक आदि)किसी भी प्रकार की जन उपयोगी एवम् शासकीय सुबिधायें व्यवस्थित नहीं हैं जो आज भी "जहाँ है जैसा" की स्थिति में हैं इसलिए उन्हें ऑर्गेनाइज्ड किया जाए। 3 निगम,नगर पालिका और केंट की योजनाओं में राजनेतिक हस्तक्षेप समाप्त किया जाए जो योजनाओं के जन योजनाओं के मूल स्वरुप में बदलाब करती हैं।

My future city is Palwal, Haryana. this city is near to Delhi yet basic facilities like Water, safety of woman, cleainess, required education is not available. There is large scope of opportunities here but govt of Haryana did not docus on this city because every CM is belongs to Uttar Haryana. A majority of Army Pierson's hails from Palwal yet Rajdhabi, Duranto, Express trains did not stop here. Palwal city is well connected by trains route and NH2, KMP and KGP highways. so take attension

good health insurance with amount as low as 10-30₹ should be done by goverment, corruption is still the major cause that we achive goals only on paper.For the city of future road is the basic building block that should be focussed on. remember we should strive for quality not for quantity.

The basic challenge that our country face is the implementation of various law in strict manner. Remember each and every problem can be solved by strictly implementing law by various officials. For example, Police don't register FIR ,they beat the detainees in jail or lock up, corruption of police for allowing entry of heavy vehicles in main city area at day time,politiness in their behaviour, false driving license issued by authority with help of money,allowing bad condition vehicle to run.
