Critical issues facing Delhi in such a scenario are:
* its increasing "slummisation";
* the illegal and unauthorized status of these slum settlements
which preclude them from receiving basic services and being networked to
the main city systems;
* the large number of poor housed in unsanitary and unhealthy
environments in these communities and the economic costs thereof;
* pressures on existing city infrastructure in meeting the growing
demands for basic services of water, sanitation, electricity, and transport;
* the increasing migration into the city for economic reasons
adding to the pressure on city resources;
* the lack of people's participation in planning and action for
improving the quality of living;
* the insecurity of land tenure, which results in people not having
a sense of ownership and not investing to improve their own environments;
* the presence of multiple agencies responsible for infrastructure
development resulting in overlaps and problems of coordination among
center-, state-, and local-level agencies;
* the gap between revenue and expenditure and lack of autonomy for
purposes of taxation, pricing and cost recovery; and
* the fact that the decentralization of power as envisaged under
the 74th Constitutional Amendment to the elected representatives has not
yet taken place.
