Why Indian Cities Look Different From The Air Than Foreign Counterparts

A flight into Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, or Kolkata often reveals sprawling informal settlements, hazy skies, or aging infrastructure, contrasting sharply with the orderly urban layouts, green surroundings, and cleaner skylines of cities like Singapore, Bangkok, or Colombo. This difference stems from a complex interplay of history, demographics, governance, economics, and the sheer scale of India's rapid urbanization and population density, posing unique challenges in delivering basic urban services and managing growth.

How Women Leaders Are Transforming Cities for Everyone

Drawing on examples from Barcelona's Ada Colau, Montréal's Valérie Plante and Paris's Anne Hidalgo, the authors contend that women leaders' lived experiences result in policies benefiting vulnerable groups. The article cites statistics showing only 25 of the world's 300 largest cities have female mayors, and calls for more gender balance in municipal leadership to create public spaces that work for everyone.
