Project 1.1.1.4 Develop Guidelines for Transit Oriented Development
Lead: PMC
TOD experiences from across the world need be assessed and applied to the context of Pune and its varied densities – Pune city core, peri-urban areas, etc. Further, planning and design interventions would be created for three different scales: Network, Area and Station. While discussing the plans at various level, built- form based regulations will be discussed along with street design, landscape design and urban utilities. Apart from the demonstrative plans, governance and finance mechanisms also need to be investigated for value creation and capture.
Project 1.2.1.3 Set up an Unified Metropolitan Transportation Authority (UMTA) for Pune Urban Agglomeration
Lead: PMRDA
The need for coordinated planning, financing, functioning of urban mobility services and infrastructure is strongly felt. The formation of a Unified Metropolitan Planning Authority (UMTA) as an entity to achieve such coordination has been recommended by the National Urban Transport Policy 2006 and the new Metro Policy. The proposed initiative will help formulate the constitution and role of an UMTA for the Pune urban region, and support the institutional and human capacity development initially, once the UMTA is constituted.
Project 2.1.1.1 Create Pune City SDG Monitoring Framework
Lead: PMC Environment Dept.
For Pune to accomplish its vision on growth, environment and economy, it requires a strong monitoring framework to collect data and information under one integrated platform. It will also help Pune understand the impact of its actions on national and global mandates, and allow evidence-based course correction in policy and programmes. The SDG framework, if localized and grounded for Pune, can help measure the processes and the outcomes of the city’s on-going transformation, including monitoring actions and projects under this resilience strategy.
Project 2.3.1.4 ‘StreamLine Pune’- A way forward for nalla rejuvenation in Pune CIty
Lead : PMC
Nallas, the natural storm water streams drainages are an integral part of the City’s ecosystem, but are heavely polluted and remain choked. Devising a comprehensive, long term strategy for nalla and water body rejuvenation is a need of the hour which may include appropriate policy interventions, innovative finance models, globally validated technologies and most importantly stakeholder involvement.
Project 3.1.1.1 Pune Skills Mapping – a gap and opportunity analysis
Lead: PMC Social Development Department
Pune District skill-gap study conducted by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) forecasts that the district is likely to generate incremental demand / jobs for about 2.85 million persons between 2012 and 2022. So that Pune is able to meet’s its vision to strengthen its economy and workforce capabilities, the talent and skills in the city need to match with what is demanded by the current and evolving market needs. A regular skills assessment using scientific tools will be useful in monitoring this match. This kind of assessment and monitoring is also prescribed by the National Urban Livelihoods Mission.
Project 3.1.1.2 Pune Skills World
Lead: Pune City Connect
While Pune Lighthouses caters to a few thousands, there is a high demand for vocational training in the city. Not only is this important to start careers, but also for ongoing need to retrain and reskill to remain relevant for employability. Pune Skills World, a social enterprise, will address the twin requirements of larger reach with appropriate content and training built on the backbone of a digital technology platform. It would extend the skill development initiative of the physical skill development centres of Lighthouses to all aspiring citizens from the age of 14 to 45 in every municipal ward of Pune and take skilling into schools, colleges, skills centres and even the homes of citizens of Pune thus supporting at least 300,000 citizens – one member at least in every low- income family in the city.
Project 3.3.2.2 Pune Data Observatory-review
Lead: National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) + PMC + MCCIA
Pune data observatory will be a platform which serves as a repository for accurate and frequently updated city specific spatial and non-spatial data that can be used as a decision support system. A data observatory will help eradicate data gaps that plague decision makers today. The observatory will allow decision makers to visualize trends and analyze data to develop the most efficient strategies. Through decision support techniques, the data observatory will also help policy makers solve complex urban problems.
