A New City Index. (URDU)

Zia Banday has developed a new city index with Prime institute.  Zia is a multifaceted individual—a former naval officer,  ex investment banker, an entrepreneur, and now a city innovator. 

Listen to how he came to value cities, what he thinks cites should be like and what his city index is.

Cities are the most important resource a country has. They are the one resource that we neglect, and our bureaucrats use as their personal property and refuse to let develop. We will return again and again to understanding the complexity of cities.

I urge you all to take up the issue of urban reform and make our cities for the people and not the elite and bureaucrats. 

Listen to this and let us reinvigorate research and debate into change. 

Listen to this fascinating discussion. There is much to learn and research here.
