Q11. 11.

Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?

A. Curriculum for urban planning courses should have diverse and interdisciplinary approach.✓ Correct
B. In India, city administration is under bureaucracy which lacks formal training in urban planning and management.
C. In India, the management of urban areas is a local affair with a chronic problem of insufficient funds.
D. With high density of population and widespread poverty in our urban areas, planned development in them is very difficult.

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option A
The passage highlights that successful urban planning in iconic Western cities adopted a 'systems approach' integrating 'social, spatial and cultural desirables,' with curricula rooted in 'social sciences, geography and architecture.' It then notes that 'Planning in India, and its education differ from the West.' The most logical inference is that for India to achieve similar success, its urban planning curriculum should also embrace a diverse and interdisciplinary approach, incorporating these varied subjects. Options B, C, and D introduce external information (bureaucracy, funding, poverty) not discussed or implied within the provided text.

This question assesses the ability to draw direct and logical inferences from the passage's comparative analysis.
