Action 1.1.1 Enhance processes and capacities for integrated development planning in Pune region

Lead: PMC

Strategic planning for the urban area by PMRDA and municipal jurisdictions by PMC and PCMC, while enabling local area plans may be the way forward. Transit projects (metro, BRT, High Capacity Mass Transit Road) and addition of peri-urban areas are opportunities for new models of development planning, such as Transit Oriented Development and Local Area Plans. Plan frame-works are also needed to rejuvenate old core, high density areas that have below-par building stocks and services, while conserving heritage precincts and the pre-motorization urban fabric.

  • Project 1.1.1.1 Launch a multi-stakeholder Forum of Sustainability Planning to foster innovations
  • Project 1.1.1.2 Conduct pilots of LAPs and TOD plans in a range of typologies of density and land-use, with a participatory approach (see also 1.2.2.4 on public transit and land-use planning; 1.4.3.1 on participatory planning)
  • Project 1.1.1.3 Develop guidelines for implementation, enforcement and monitoring of DP and their adoption in Pune, including for rejuvenation and conservation of core city precincts
  • Project 1.1.1.4 Prepare a strategic structure plan integrating various Development Plans

Action 1.1.2 Enhance resilience at the regional scale

Lead: PMC

As the largest city in the metropolitan region, Pune  impacts the region; conversely, a large population within Pune will be impacted by regional-scale developments and changes. It is in the interest of all local self-governments (PMC, PCMC, and towns and villages) to be aware of resilience challenges and take steps to enhance resilience at the regional scale. PMC as an important stakeholder can advocate improved natural resource conservation, especially water and biodiversity, integrated land-use and mobility planning, as well as help enhance appropriate economic growth in the region.

  • Project 1.1.2.1 Study and report on resilience of Pune city within the metropolitan region for integration by PMRDA into its plans

Action 1.1.3 Map environmental assets and integrate conservation into development plans

Lead: PMC, PMRDA

Mapping natural/ near natural lands/ ecosystems and other environmental assets and maintaining the information as part of the Geographic Information Systems of planning authorities is essential for consideration of these assets in planning processes. Pilot projects may be initiated with a view to securing natural resources through instruments such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), conservation easements and Transfer of Development Rights. The feasibility of these instruments within the current planning legislative framework, needs to be assessed.

  • Project 1.1.3.1 Ecosystem & Environmental Assets Mapping and integration with DC Rules (see also 2.2.1.1 (biodiversity mapping) and 2.2.2.1 (groundwater mapping))
  • Project 1.1.3.2 PES-Pay: Study feasibility of conservation easements and application of Payment for Ecosystem Services in PMRDA region (pilot projects, consultations)
