Solutions to Urban Problems
1. Infrastructure Development: Urban problems like traffic congestion and inadequate public transport can be mitigated through robust infrastructure development. For example, the Delhi Metro Expansion Project has significantly improved urban mobility and reduced traffic congestion in the city.

3. Affordable Housing: Addressing the housing crisis with schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) helps provide affordable housing to low-income urban populations, reducing slum growth and improving living conditions.
4. Community Engagement: Active community involvement in urban governance can enhance problem-solving. Initiatives like Mumbai’s Citizens’ Participatory Governance model have demonstrated the benefits of inclusive decision-making in tackling urban issues.
