The Jawaharal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) - as the thought-provoking articles in this review expound can become a milestone for sustainable !"#$"!#%R!' largest in the world, will soon be as numerous as the entire population of the nations of the European Union or of the African continent. The future of the cities of India and its inhabitants will directly impact the course of the world - environmentally, politically, socially, economically and culturally. Urbanisation as a phenomenon is a global reality, a trend that will be further expedited by the globalisation of the world economy and the industrialisation of food production. The crucial urban-rural linkage, and delicate mutual interdependence needs to be harnessed, as India becomes a global economic force. JNNURM, as well as other national schemes to support urban development, such as the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) or the Integrated Housing Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) amongst others, represent a response to this reality and demonstrate a political com- mitment by the Government of India to promote a new type of urbanisation, going beyond the mere growth of urban facilities. *![!" 74th Constitutional Amendment Act.

  • Urban Wetland/Water Bodies Management Guidelines a Toolkit for Local Stakeholders
    URBAN WETLAND/WATER BODIES MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES A TOOLKIT FOR LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS January 2021 Volume I SCHOOL OF PLANNING & NATIONAL MISSION FOR CLEAN GANGA ARCHITECTURE, NEW DELHI URBAN WETLAND/WATER BODIES MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES VOLUME I Image Credit: Rajeev Chauhan 2 ty 'kfDr ea=h Hkkjr ljdkj Minister for Jal Shakti Government of India Message The value of wetlands especially in urban settings, is evidenced through our history where water bodies were respected and valued by all communities creating a sense of belonging and ownership towards them. Water bodies within an urban precinct, including smaller ones, form vital ecosystems supporting local livelihoods, with social, economic, ecological and aesthetic benefits. Their value as part of an extensive food chain and biological diversity is immense. For a city, they can provide a wide range of important resources and ecosystem services such as food, water, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood moderation, erosion control, climate regulation and rainfall sinks. They are an important part of our natural wealth and liquid assets. Sustainable urban water body management encapsulates the linkages between functioning of water cycle and river rejuvenation guided by ecosystem approaches. Government of India’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan also recognizes this need and accords high priority to conservation and wise use of wetlands in our country. National Mission for Clean Ganga has made significant inroads by initiating multiple projects and regulatory frameworks to support State Governments for integrated management. Conservation of wetlands would also go a long way in achieving Hon’ble Prime Minister’s dream of vNal Se Jal’ in each household. This toolkit has been envisioned in a strategic step towards increasing the capacity of city urban wetland managers.
