Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Urban Development Policy of India (Part 2) - Corridor Densification by Floor Space Index-linked Land Use Control and Infrastructure Financing Mechanism
Asian Development Bank | April 2010
Abstract
Cities in India have been the “engine of economic growth.” But realizing future economic growth hinges on whether or not Indian cities can be made more efficient, livable, inclusive, and competitive. To achieve this, it is essential to strengthen urban governance and management through greater decentralization and enhanced accountability, and establish appropriate delivery mechanisms and regulatory frameworks for various urban infrastructure and services. In the urban transport sector, continuing urbanization and surging economic growth have led to an inevitable rise in ownership and use of private motorized vehicles across cities, placing heavy pressures on the available transport infrastructure and on the institutions responsible for road construction and maintenance, traffic management, traffic safety, and providing public transport services. Congestion and over-stretched urban transport systems are making commuting increasingly more time consuming and often unsafe and, as a result, negatively impacting the urban efficiency. Air pollution is increasing. Fuel wasted due to this inefficiency also results in more greenhouse gas (GHG) emission that contributes to global warming/climate change.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Retrofitting Sustainable Urban Development Practices: Urban Public Transport
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems. In some cases, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system can help to bridge the gap. By using dedicated bus lanes to develop a moderately rapid mass transit system, a BRT system generally requires lower infrastructure investment as compared with a subway or light rail ...Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Urban Water Supply: Case Study of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Maanshan
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages. This is exacerbated by the (i) uneven distribution of water resources between the north and south regions of the PRC, (ii) industrial pollution contaminating many water sources, (iii) over-extraction, and (iv) relatively inefficient use of available water resources. The public urban water and sewerage ...Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages.
