The\u00a0recently-demolished Supertech buildings\u00a0in Noida shows the new relations between land, private real estate players and the state.<\/p>\n

How the relationship between private companies and state has changed?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The market for land during the 20th<\/sup> century in NCR rose due to the actions of the government.<\/p>\n

The Delhi Improvements Trust and the Delhi Development Authority had a land monopoly in the post-independence decades. Their actions led to huge inflation in land prices which prevented people from buying land in Delhi.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s actions as a land monopolist in the Delhi region led private players to look beyond its boundaries.<\/p>\n

Areas in Haryana and UP that bordered Delhi emerged as important nodes of urbanization.<\/p>\n

The private house market started growing from the mid-1980s, with the availability of new sources of home loans and the expansion of the middle class.<\/p>\n

Since the 1980s, a new urbanisation in India came up<\/strong>. It helped in forming new relationships between government mechanisms and private players. <\/strong>It helped in alteration of the approved lands.<\/p>\n

As land values increased, it became profitable to convince government regulatory authorities to allow changes in the plans that were actually approved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the issues arising out of the nexus between private players and state?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The approved plans can easily be altered <\/strong>and those plans are approved that benefit all parties.<\/p>\n

This requires collaboration between different levels of government, politicians, real estate companies, land surveyors and brokers of different kinds.<\/p>\n

The complex system of land measurement and planning procedures made it almost impossible to institute mechanisms of transparency.<\/p>\n

There is an increase in the state-real estate complex where it is has become difficult to calculate where the state ends and private interests begin. This is the Indian version of the military-industrial complex.<\/p>\n

What are the issues associated with the urban areas?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Demolishing can lead to depriving rights of urban dwellers and cruelty towards them.<\/p>\n

The problems of urban areas require a different approach rather than simply demolishing.<\/p>\n

There are many illegal lands or structures but with the time they become legalized.<\/p>\n

The encroachment of forest lands by powerful people degrades the urban environment.<\/p>\n

This all happens due to the peculiar relations between governments and land markets and sometimes our own participation in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
