Re: [mpisgmedia] Emphasis on mixed use needed

I must commend Nidhi for bringing this howlarious piece of journalism  to our list's notice. The photographs accompanying the article truly  bring out how encroachments and misuse of land by small shop keepers  and illegal hawkers have brought India closer to the ideal mixed land  use that is allegedly so desirable in the West. As Lalu Yadav allegedly  said "give me 3 years (or 3 CSE's) and I shall make Singapore into  Bihar"

to being the ideal mixed-land-use places that the West is now attempting to
create. To leverage this phenomenon, there must be incentives to encourage
development in the inner cities instead of in sprawling suburbs, writes
