Abstract: This study examines urbanisation in developing countries, focusing on basic services and community participation in sustainable urban development. It highlights the challenges of providing infrastructure, housing, sanitation, and essential services, while also exploring the potential of community involvement in urban planning. Drawing from experiences in various developing nations, the study emphasizes both successes and difficulties in achieving equitable urban services. A case study of New Delhi illustrates the complexities of managing rapid growth while addressing local needs. The work underscores the importance of community-driven approaches and participatory governance in creating resilient and inclusive urban environments.
