Green Development: Can Indian Cities Grow Without Losing Clean Air?
Development and clean air are often treated as opposites, but better planning can make Indian cities healthier and more livable.
Indian cities are expanding quickly, with new roads, housing, offices and transport projects. Growth creates opportunity, but it also brings dust, traffic, heat and pressure on water and green spaces.
Clean air requires planning before construction, not only emergency action after pollution rises. Public transport, tree cover, waste control and stricter dust management all matter.
A city cannot be truly developed if its citizens cannot breathe safely, walk comfortably or live with dignity.
