WHYS 60: The new India "City of Malls"

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Can an Indian city like Gurgaon become a shining civic star without reliable public services, urban planning and infrastructure? Can this Asian giant, poised to become the world’s third largest economy in 15 years, surge forward like this? And what about the social costs? Some Gurgaon farmers, who’ve sold their land, became millionaires overnight. They still hold on to their Buffalo while holding fast to the wheel of their new Bentley.
