India witnessed rapid urbanization over the last decade, estimated to be nearly 33.54% in 2017 as per stats. Ample job opportunities, primarily in metros, has today created immense pressure on cities, impacting its quality of life and infrastructure development and also given rise to issues such as traffic snarls, pollution, lack of water supply, etc. To reduce this pressure on metros, there is a dire need for decentralisation of economic activities, distribution of employment opportunities and development of self-sustaining cities.
