    If governments paid serious attention to the economic geography of India’s cities, they would be doing a lot more to prepare for annual weather events like the monsoon. UN-Habitat estimates that by 2030 India will have 14 major (6) of cities accounting for 40 percent of its GDP. Other assessments indicate that nearly 80 percent of economic production will be in urban areas by that year. What this underscores is the extremely (7) condition of cities as economic assets. Proof of this is available from (8) events such as unprecedented flooding in Chennai in 2015 and in Mumbai some years ago. Even with weak insurance cover for the general population, the volume of claims in Chennai crossed Rs.5,000 crore, highlighting the avoidable losses arising out of infrastructure deficits. Much of the total loss was borne by individuals. On the other hand, cities devote vast amounts of their revenue merely to repair roads after the monsoon rather than create new assets. This is a (9) planning failure, and governments should at least now draw up integrated plans to make cities and growing towns (10) to weather events and disasters. This should begin with the creation of information systems that tell administrators about weather patterns, anomalies, flooding data and population impacts.
