Oh I am wary of multi-faceted predictions like that. It could create a lot of jobs. But I think the assumption that the new jobs will be at least as good as the old ones may be a risky one. Could exacerbate inequality whilst making average income go up.

Don’t agree with basic premise. India had plenty of such towns and they are thriving. Bhillai, ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar, Salt Lake, Navi Mumbai.

Raipur, Bhopal. List goes on my Friend

Quite. But my very limited question is what will the economy of say Bhilai look like a 100 years from now. (Given what we are seeing in UK for instance.)

Local economies.. Producing goods and services bespoke to the needs of the local communities. Demand will be driven by diversity in tradition both locally as well as cross-community thanks to seamless ability to accept or at least try other local cultures

Something thats already in place..policy impetus needed to preserve and scale up local customs and art forms .. Temple traditions and affiliated cultures for eg. have created IPR in the form of several GI registered products. Potential for licensing, tourism revenues, etc.
