Cities have emerged as the prime engines of the Indian economic growth and generators of national wealth. . . the future is inescapably urban, says a study, jointly conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Institute of Competitiveness.

With a total urban population of 285 million, India's cities and towns are developing at a fast pace. But do Indian cities offer good quality of life?

Though quality of life is subjective and people differ on various factors based on their incomes, influences and cultures etc, a good city must offer basic amenities and infrastructure at a cost that makes living convenient and hassle free, the study states.
