Few constraints
Creation of electoral constituencies such as to diminish the territorial significance of urban areas
Lack of mature and professional city-governing bodies
Lack of adequate information in public domain
![Page 16: Emerging cities in India and China: Enormity of challenges posed by rapid urbanism Dilip Sankarreddy Save Bombay Committee, NGO, India.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d615503460f94a4263a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Towards formulation of a generalized solution
Devolution of more powers to city-governing bodies
Building city-wise institutions for urban planning that help create effective territorial entities
Framing of rules to ensure better administrative accountability
Creating means for lasting coordination between all administrative establishments across all cities
Exploring the possibility of arriving at territorial suggestive upper limits of output

Towards formulation of a generalized solution (Contd.)
Marginal de-politicizing of urban administration by giving administrative role to urban experts
Creating professional regulation bodies and watchdog agencies
City administration should be made accountable not only for the administration of the city, but also for the environmental well-being of the suburbs
Open all practices of administration to public scrutiny and debate
