However, the process of urban growth has not been planned or managed effectively, resulting in more households living in informal dwellings without essential services and situated on the outskirts of cities far from jobs and other opportunities. The report argues that the developmental vision of metro government needs to be refreshed, that public trust needs to be rebuilt, and more serious efforts need to be made to reshape the distorted built form of cities.
