The first working group meeting of the Urban Habitats Forum brought to light several issues and action points.

The Group observed that awareness of urban issues in India is very low. Urbanization’s impact on our socioeconomic, political and cultural landscapes often escapes discussion because of the alien terms of discourse.

There is a necessity to indigenize the discussion on Urbanization in India to find effective solutions. Towards this, the strategic role of media in raising awareness around urbanization is crucial.
