India should avoid China-like urbanisation: NITI Aayog VC
India should avoid replicating foreign models of urbanisation like that of China as it may lead to inequitable urbanisation, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said. Development in China had only taken place along coastal areas while other regions remained backward, Kumar added. He stressed the need to introduce the concept of "rurban" to link villages with urban facilities.
