Urban Renewal Mission. It is a nationwide urban development scheme launched on 3rd December 2005 by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India to fast track planned development of 65 identified Indian cities for seven years beginning from the year 2005-06.

Need for Urban Infrastructure Development and Reforms According to the 2001 census, 28% people live in urban

areas and cities contribute 50-55% to our GDP. Rapid urbanization has outpaced the existing rate of infrastructure development and services in our cities causing various problems. - Increasing slum areas - Inadequate water supply - Poor transportation - Encroachment of heritage areas - Environmental concerns - The lack of investment in power sector - Flawed solid waste management - Traffic congestion - Insufficient basic services
