Abstract India along with the developing nations is urbanizing fast. Presently almost 33 per cent of the Indian population lives in urban India. it is expected that by the year 2030 half of the world's population will be urban. India for the first time registered a higher decadal urban growth rate in comparison to the rural population growth rate during the census period of 2001- 2011. The lopsided and top-heavy pattern of urbanisation in India has wreaked havoc in the form of excessive pressure on the basic urban infrastructure resulting in the crumbling of civic amenities and retardation of the service delivery system. The present endeavour is to look into the emergent issues under which our cities are reeling with. These issues are being handled in a myopic manner having a piecemeal approach. Control over the city is only possible by solving the pertinent issues related to traffic, lack of space, congestion, sewerage and drainage issues, water and electricity supply, etc. The present paper shatters one by one the efficacy of many of the approaches being used by the governments of the land to manage our cities, including the much-hyped ‘Smart-City’ concept. Some other solutions are also suggested herein.
