Analyze the rapid urbanization of modern India and the challenges of sustainable infrastructure development. We explore the pressures faced by India's rapidly growing cities, the need for efficient transportation systems, reliable sanitation, and access to clean water.

Furthermore, we discuss the historical context of urban development in India, including the legacy of British colonial rule and the challenges of managing growth in a diverse and complex nation. The case of the Kosi River serves as a powerful example of how environmental factors can impact urban planning and infrastructure development.
