[description] => Government of India Policies and Schemes Focusing on Urban Development since 2010
Here is a list of various schemes, reports, guidelines, and policies which have been formulated
under different Ministries of the Government of India since 2010. The 82 documents in the list,
grouped under 8 urban sectors—area development, policy and planning, economic development,
environment and pollution, data and technology, sewerage and septage management, solid waste
management, and urban transport—provide an immediate reference to some significant policies
and schemes which have played a crucial role in the urban-regional planning and development.
It is a ready reckoner for the city officials, urban practitioners, planners, academics, and industry
partners to get an overview of the policies and schemes under one roof.

[description] => India's urban transition has, of late, acquired multiple narratives. It is said to be rapid, moderate, slow, messy, and hidden. What underpins such multiple narratives is the central theme of the study, State of the Cities: India. Making use of an analytical framework that permits an examination of the shifts in the pace and pattern of India’s urbanisation over a period of time, this study takes an in-depth look at the evidence on three of its key dimensions: the demographics, the economy, and the status of infrastructure and the environment. Some of the key questions that this study seeks responses to are: Is India’s in the post-libarlisation period any different? Does it show the effect of the changes in the macroeconomic parameters of the post-1991 period? Is it more or less productive and inclusive and environmentally secure? Is it spatially more equal or unequal? Does it in any way signal an inflection point in India's urban transition? Drawing from the analysis of the evidence comparable over time, the study spotlights several interesting questions: what would, for example, explain the acceleration in the pace of urbanisation under conditions of low economic growth and its moderation under conditions of high economic growth? What factors would explain a fall in the rate of growth in the urban share of gross domestic product (GDP) at such a low level of urbanisation, especially the GDP accruing from the manufacturing sector? This study makes a strong case for evidence-based assessment of India’s urban transition, rather than to continue to commit, as many of us do, to the long-held, but specious narrative that India is in the midst of rapid urbanisation.

[description] => The COVID-19 pandemic is the worst pandemic in living memory. Almost every city is on the back foot in coping up with the impacts of the coronavirus spread and the forced lockdowns in their countries. The economies of nations have plummeted, millions of people have lost their jobs, and the fatal contagion has thrown normal lives of citizens out of gear and exposed loopholes in urban health system and disaster response.
The country is now the third-worst affected country in terms of the total number of cases reported and the eighth-worst in the number of unfortunate deaths reported.
Most of the cases, almost 70-90 per cent in different nations, were reported from cities and towns. It has become important to assess the pandemic preparedness of cities, the capacity building requirements of local leaders to strengthen local response, and learn from the success of cities which performed better than their peers.
The lockdown provided the much-required breathing space to state apparatus to prepare itself with the required infrastructure and equipment to combat the crisis. The nation had one of the strictest lockdowns and it did help initially in curbing the contagion. Until the lockdown was lifted, the number of cases in India remained under control but the cases spiked suddenly when the movement of trains, flights, and economic activities allowed. This is obvious that lockdown cannot be a permanent solution and it was just a measure to buy time and get prepared to handle the health crisis better.
This paper further talks about the local responses in the city response plan for the global pandemic.

[title] => TULIP Handbook

[created] => 18-Jun-2020 12:00 am
[year] => 2020
[description] => Urban ecosystems with their complexities are spaces for discovery, learning and design of new solutions that require a steady stream of fresh minds to infuse creative and dynamic thinking. Globally, local governments engage with academic institutions by providing students and fresh graduates internship opportunities to assist in research and fieldwork, thus creating the lab-to-land transfer of innovative solutions. This is mutually beneficial to students in gaining exposure to the functioning of cities and also to local governments as new solutions evolve for the city and a pool of talent gets created for absorption in the market. Activating this triple helix of stakeholders can go a long way in unleashing India’s demographic dividend and creating a talent pool that can pave the way for our cities becoming self-reliant.
TULIP has been envisioned to deliver the above by equipping the youth with problem-solving and critical thinking skills through hands-on, experiential learning in India’s fast-growing urban ecosystem. Experiential learning opportunities in the urban sector will help transform them into future leaders. The flexible nature of the program provides for inclusivity and access, is ecosystem driven and built on the principles of federated architecture and transparency.
The TULIP program is being implemented through a partnership between MoHUA and AICTE. At the State level, TULIP will be supported by the Urban Development departments in providing a clear roadmap for the ULBs/smart cities to adopt TULIP in their respective organizations.

[description] => Imagine our lives as urban residents in the post-COVID19 world. Currently even as the administration at national, state, city and Gram Panchayat level is focused and engaged in responding to the COVID crises, we need to initiate a dialogue between the experts from various fields and contemplate will there be change in our city level functioning or will it revert to the business as usual approach once the normal operations of the city resume.
A few years ago, many nations committed, “to foster healthy societies by promoting access to adequate, inclusive and quality public services...” through the implementation of The Agenda 2030-Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the New Urban Agenda, the Paris agreement and the Sendai Framework. The global commitments and aspirations were well- intended and thought out. However, they cannot be successfully operationalized unless we empower the very institutions at the cutting edge, which are responsible to take action on these, i.e. the urban local bodies The pandemic crisis demonstrates that until empower our local bodies, we will continue witnessing struggle and efforts country after country. With this understanding, this article assesses the response to the pandemic challenge in Urban India so far and puts across a vision re-imagining Urban India.

[title] => The Urban Dimension of COVID-19 in India
[published_by] => ResearchGate
[created] => 13-Jun-2020 01:15 am
[year] => 2020
[description] => Living through the COVID-19 pandemic feels like the worst nightmares of our lifetime. But it is also an opportunity for us to reflect and re-visit the infrastructure priorities of cities, their governance processes, and more broadly, the vulnerabilities of urban communities in an increasingly globalized and connected world. As the pandemic expands its footprint across India, it has become apparent that the megacities are worst affected, with half of the country’s COVID cases reported from just the four cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. With the “engines of economic growth” coming to a halt and authorities struggling to deal with the health emergency, it is incumbent on us to re-imagine our city planning principles and approaches. We also need to enforce resilient urban development models that could prepare cities to adapt to various kinds of shocks and stresses (e.g. floods, pandemics, heatwaves, droughts) that are becoming the new normal. This article aims to emphasize and translate the urban dimension of the COVID-19 outbreak in India and identifies key trends across geographies and time. It offers a hierarchical- State-district-city level analysis, combining demographic data from the Census of India 2011, COVID-19 statistics from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFWA), Government of India and covid19india.org (a volunteer-driven open COVID data initiative). To begin with, a longitudinal analysis of State level COVID cases is presented to provide an understanding of how the States have performed over time in their effort to stabilize the growth of cases and “flattening the curve”. The paper maps the share of cases contributed by megacities within each State, highlighting how the location of large urban centres impacted their performance. It, then present, a district- level outlook of COVID-19 spread and a correlation analysis examining whether the districts with higher urbanization rate has experienced more intense outburst in cases. The article also engages with the Top 100 cities by Census population to examine the intensity of outbreaks across megacities, and also maps the houseless population and families living in slums who are most vulnerable to the pandemic and severely impacted by the ongoing lockdown. The concluding section offers key recommendations for re- imagining Indian cities and their planning standards in the post-COVID era. Vaidya, Hitesh, and Dr. Sarbeswar Praharaj.
