Urban population has been increasing; more than half of world’s population lives in urban areas. It is estimated to reach 72% of the total population in the world by 2050. From 3.6 billion in 2011 to 6.3 billion in 2050. Asian cities, including those in India, are and will be undergoing major transitions during the first half of the 21st century. According to the 2012 United Nations report on world urbanization prospects. It is expected that half of Asia’s population will live in urban areas by 2020. By 2030, India will become 40% urbanized with about 590 million people living in urban areas [MGI, 2010]. This poses a concern as well as an opportunity to plan for sustainable development. It is true that despite the 74th constitutional amendment, the functional and financial status of the ULB’s have not improved as desired. Given the low level of resources at the disposal of the ULB’s, unbundling of certain basic urban services for private participation is needed. The urban development ministry has recently proposed an agenda for action for ULB’s aimed at their better management. The 21-point agenda includes suggestions for citizen charter, tips for improving basic services, assistance under central sector schemes, management of urban areas, revision of building bye laws, use of IT, urban transport, financial system etc.
