Land and housing policies in New Delhi have great significance in urban policy. When the Delhi Development Authority was given substantial powers to purchase land and plan its use, it had the potential to innovate and creat an example of "best practice" in urban development in developing countries. For a variety of situational political and managerial reason, the opportunity was lost.
