This is a good policy paper. However, the basic ingredients of policy should have focussed on Urban management. The policy effort is required to be on the wherewithall required for shifting the burden of Urban managemnt from the Central and state governments to ULBs themselves. 74th CAA is not panacea but merely a schedule of works/powers. The urban Governance is different from urban management. 74th CAA is primarily urban governance and not urban management. Hence the policy should guide urban management shift ffrom respective state governments and Central Government to ULBs which ultimately lead to appropriate urban forms, urban flows (Social, Economic and physical) and suitable mix of devolution, delegation and decentralisation / centralisation aspects of management
