Like most developing countries, the urban population of India has been increasing at a faster rate than was anticipated and has resulted in uncontrolled, overcrowded and unplanned urban settlements extending into physical settlements ill-suited for human habitation. There are various implication of rapid urbanization for the infrastructure and service needs for the cities, since in most cases urban population are increasing at rates that are outstripping any reasonable expectations in improvements on housing, health care, employment opportunities and infrastructure required for healthy living environments.
