Well-managed urbanisation can lead to sustainable growth but cities are a messy affair in India and other South Asian countries, says a report by the World Bank.
It says for the very poorest in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, the under-five years mortality rate is higher in urban than in rural settings.
It recommended land pooling and land readjustment to tackle the problems. This refers to land assembly through a process by which land parcels with different owners are combined into a larger, contiguous land area for more efficient subdivision and development.
What the report says?
For the very poorest in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, the under-five years mortality rate is higher in urban than in rural settings. Besides, South Asia’s cities are notable for polluted air.
South Asia produced only 8% of global gross domestic product in 2011, while having 14% of the world’s urban population.
Messy urbanisation in India is reflected in the nearly 65.5 million who, in the country’s 2011 Census, lived in urban slums, as well as the 13.7% of the urban population that lived below the national poverty line
The report suggests measures, such as land pooling and land readjustment, among others, to tackle the problems.

What is Land Pooling?
Under the land pooling policy, landowners can pool their land for development. The land will be taken by the govt.
But instead of compensation, the owners will get 48-60 per cent of the land back after the authority has set up the infrastructure.
Under this, land owners – either individuals or groups have to transfer ownership rights of their land to land pooling agency
The Land Pooling Agency will develop the land, including constructing roads, sewerage and electricity connections and later transfer the ownership of the part of the developed land to its owners. After getting the developed land, the land owners have to either build houses or commercial complexes as per the stipulations of mater plan
However, after the farmer or developer hand over their land to Land Pooling Agency, they may not get same land after development.

Land Readjustment
What is Land Readjustment?
Land Readjustment (LR) is one of the methods of land development for developing or improving urban infrastructure and also enhancing utility/value of land, so a LR is not a land acquisition method, but a kind of land consolidation method, which is called “Land Re-plotting”
