Moreover, if a city is unable to cope with the influx of migrants and absorb the growing numbers of people, then the people working in the plants and factories would be unable to function effectively and work productively.
No nation develops without investing in infrastructure and indeed, this is the reason why in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Western countries massively invested in infrastructure. Indeed, as we would discuss next, it is the enabling aspect which is important since infrastructure is supposed to facilitate and spur economic growth by providing better connectivity and enhancing productivity and efficiency. Indeed, while many experts talk about physical infrastructure, they forget to talk about another crucial element and that is the software or the skills of the employees and their productivity and productive capacities.
This aspect which is developed through investments in healthcare and education enables a healthy and well educated workforce who would then lead to faster economic growth by ensuring that the necessary human resources are there for the industries and the technology companies to take advantage of. For instance, most Indian cities are groaning under the weight of their residents and the creaking infrastructure results in poor planning and haphazard growth which would derail any chances of faster economic growth.
Indeed, if there is anything holding back countries such as India, it is the sheer lack of planning as far as cities and the other components of infrastructure are concerned. Which brings us to the final point and that is that there are no substitutes for infrastructure development and there are no shortcuts for faster economic growth.
