The problem is rapid unplanned urbanization. And that is because there is not enough money to develop new cities. Heck, let alone that there is not enough money to sustain existing ones. So you end up huge masses of population concentrated in existing cities. The areas around Bangalore are empty. Try visiting Kolar or Tumkur during weekdays, chances are you will be bored in 30 minutes of your visit and fall asleep. The afternoons feel empty and totally devoid of any activity. Bangalore itself was this way a few decades back, when I was growing up here. The problem with the cities will continue for the obvious reasons. There is economic activity, schools, colleges, hospitals and better life prospects.
