I spoke with Devashish Dhar, the author of the excellent book India's Blind Spot which talks about India's urbanisation crisis and solutions to it. We talk about

  • Explaining the global bias against cities

  • “Extremely high levels of traffic is caused by poor land policy”

  • Why are there so many floods in Indian cities?

  • How to climate-proof Indian cities

  • “India’s biggest unfulfilled promise is local government”




and much more!
