Will Future Megacities Be a Marvel or a Mess? Look at New Delhi

A worker labors in an elevator shaft at the East Kidwai Nagar General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Redevelopment Project, redeveloped by National Buildings Construction Corp. (NBCC), stands in the background in Delhi, India, on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018. The district, one of Delhi's flagship smart city projects developed for an enclave of civil servants, shows some of the obstacles that can make urban regeneration a slow and painful process in India. The project, begun in 2014, will replace 2,444 old low-rise homes with 4,608 apartments in modern 14-story towers, together with car parking and retail space. Scheduled to be completed by June, the 87-acre project is touted as a poster child for new government housing, with solar panels, on-site waste management and rainwater harvesting.
