There is also the view that the private-public partnership is capable of yielding good results and transit-oriented urban development in India. If carried out in a transparent manner, it is argued that this partnership would yield desirable results and contribute to the infrastructure needs of the cities (see Isher Judge Ahluwalia 2013). While there is always scope for optimism we need to be aware of the darker side of the such grand urban policies and make ourselves remind that in the final analysis our cities need to be not transit or infrastructure oriented but oriented towards the people who inhabit the city.
