Delhi's new Master Plan (MPD-2041) aims to improve liveability by addressing population growth, pollution, and infrastructure strain. It proposes expanding public transport, ecological restoration, affordable housing, and mixed land use, acknowledging the need for better existing land utilization rather than outward expansion. While the plan's emphasis on increased housing and flexible development norms is welcome, its success critically depends on overcoming persistent governance problems. Past failures highlight the necessity of alignment among civic agencies, Centre, and Delhi government to ensure effective implementation. Fragmented responsibilities have historically hindered progress, making concerted action vital for a sustainable future.
