Not really - it is quite possible to privatize public utilities, etc.
It is difficult,

I would agree with your paradigm if India could "do a US". I mean
they should
mark out areas for new cities and build them up from scratch,
outside the
territories of the old ones.
This is actually precisely what is happening - as the market responds to
demand that that the state (despite owning huge tracts of prime real
estate
in major cities) was never able to - with the rise of largely private
townships
as in Gurgaon and Navi-Mumbai.
