The Delhi Master Plan: A City's Future on Thin Ice Delhi's population is projected to reach nearly 32 million by 2047, putting immense pressure on resources and infrastructure.
The new master plan, MPD 2047, aims to achieve denser development, affordable housing, and sustainable growth. However, its success hinges on addressing fundamental issues that have yet to be resolved.
The scale of the challenge is staggering: Delhi will require 1,600 million gallons of water per day, generate 26,000 tonnes of solid waste daily, and need an additional 40 lakh homes by 2047.
