In most major cities of the world, mayors are very powerful while state and central governments do not have much of a role in taking decisions at a local level. Urban planning experts have long been arguing that this should be the case in Indian cities, too. This is not about granting more power to the mayor, but about decentralising decisions. Much of the urban planning failures in India have to do with city-level problems being tackled by state governments or the central government. But there is only so much that the national and state governments can do.
