If India is to maintain its competitiveness, a focus on dramatically improving the nation’s urban areas is imperative. McKinsey calculates that the country requires between 700-900 million square meters of new residential and commercial space each year; 350-400 kilometers (217-248 miles) of metros and subways (20 times what has been achieved in the past decade); and 19,000-25,000 kilometers of annual road construction (equivalent to all the roads built over the past ten years).
如果印度要维持其竞争力，那么专注于答复改善其城市区是必不可少的。麦肯锡认为，印度每年需要700—900万平方米的新增居住和商业空间，350—400公里的新增地铁和城铁长度（比过去10年的成就高20倍）和19000—25000公里的公路建设（相当于过去10年建成公里长度总和）。任务是艰巨的。
