For example, due to the shortage of power more than 50% [of power] is illegally consumed without payment to the municipal corporation leading to corruption, unacceptable financial losses and inadequate supply to those who pay for the consumption of power. A similar situation has evolved where an inadequate water supply has led to similar financial losses and an inadequate supply of water for the population. * Planned housing colonies with adequate infrastructure like schools, parks, drainage system, and local medicare establishments. * Transportation affects the environment. Efficient transportation planninghas to take into consideration a wide range of options and choices like adequate roads, parking lots, alternate system of transportation, and mass transit facilities. The aim should be to reduce total vehicle miles driven in congested areas thus reducing pollution and emission of green house gases. * Effective environmental infrastructure to address issues of untreated sewage and polluted rivers, lakes and coastal zones thus threatening the quality of aquatic systems. * Empowerment of women and encouragement of their participation in political, social and economic life in the city and adoption of urban policies that take into account women's needs and initiatives. * Development of an efficient urban private sector, both formally and non-formally, which reduces poverty by generating jobs and facilitates economic growth. * An efficient health-care system would address issues of nutrition, family planning and sanitation. * Citizens are law-abiding, conscious of their role and contribute to all aspects of growth of the city.
