7. What are the Critical Action
Points for Indian Cities?
• Adopt a synergistic and systems-based approach
across ALL four parts of the City-Systems framework
• Fix the bigger issues, but do not miss the details
8. Some Examples
• Jaipur has a directly elected Mayor with a five year term,
but has control over few functions, has per capita Capital
Spend of Rs 344 (approx. $ 8), lowest among ASICS cities.
• Mumbai and Delhi have relatively better institutional
capacities, but term of the Mayor is short, and with
limited powers.
11. Voice of India’s Citizens (VOICE)
• What do city-residents think about Quality of Life in

• Do they believe Quality of City-Systems impacts
Quality of Life?
• If so, are they willing to bear with short-term
inconveniences while their City-Systems are being fixed?
