1.0 BACKGROUND

Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM), is a partnership project launched by Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), for planned development of the cities and towns with focus on efficiency in urban infrastructure and service delivery mechanisms in ‘mission cities’. To achieve full objectives of JnNURM, knowledge sharing of urban reforms amongst JnNURM cities has emerged as a potential area for capacity building. It is felt that cities identified under JnNURM, can network amongst themselves for cross learning and sharing of experiences, hence effectively managing their cities. "Peer Experience and Reflective Learning" (PEARL) is an initiative under JnNURM to support cities to actively pursue activities in implementation of projects and reforms.

It is envisaged to form groups/networks amongst JnNURM cities having similar socio‐economic profile, complexities of urban problems and issues, size and urban growth patterns, along with natural affinity to peer pair. Suggested 'peer‐pairing' for cities in JnNURM is on the basis of: socio‐ economic profile and key economic drivers, Size of the city, urban growth pattern and urban character/complexities. Therefore, cities with similar urban issues and character are brought together.

The cities have been divided into five groups, namely: (a) Mega Cities; (b) Industrial Cities; (c) Mixed economy; (d) Cultural, Heritage & Religious Cities; and (e) Cities of Environmental Importance.

1.1 THE PEARL INITIATIVE

To achieve objectives of the mission, knowledge sharing amongst JnNURM cities in various sectors of urban reforms and city governance has emerged as a potential area for capacity building. It is felt that cities identified under JnNURM, for financing urban infrastructure and other aspects of urban Development, can network amongst themselves for cross learning and sharing knowledge, hence effectively manage their cities.

The Peer Experience and Reflective Learning (PEARL) Initiative is an initiative to support cities actively networking amongst themselves for cross learning as well as to create manageable networks between JnNURM cities for cross learning and sharing knowledge on urban reforms and city governance so that objectives of the mission can be successfully achieved to make cities more livable, economically vibrant, and environmentally sustainable.

The programme was initially launched in 2007 at Hyderabad where the potential Knowledge Managers (KMs) along with their conveners were identified, as under

1.2 BASIS FOR PEER PAIRING

To achieve this objective it is envisaged to form groups/networks amongst JnNURM cities having similar socio‐economic profile, complexities of urban problems and issues, size and urban growth patterns, along with natural affinity to peer pair. Suggested ‘peer‐pairing’ for cities in JnNURM is on the basis of: – Socio‐economic profile and key economic drivers – Size of the city – Urban growth pattern – Urban character / complexities Therefore, cities with similar urban issues and character are brought together.

1.3 PRESENT PEARL STRUCTURE

A revised proposal on PEARL was prepared keeping in view the desired outcome as discussed in the review meeting on June 8, 2008. The activities that were identified under the programme:

¾ Help the KMs/partners to document various best practices related with project development, financing and construction as well as reforms under JnNURM. ¾ Set up a website and publish periodic newsletters for exchange of information, innovation and initiatives. ¾ Help KMs/partners organise three group workshops of participating ULBs and Knowledge Managers to exchange experiences and lessons learned. ¾ Organise a national workshop on the status and experience of PEARL Network

National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), Delhi was identified as the national level programme co‐ordinator for PEARL.

1.4 EXPECTED OUTPUTS

5.0 PEARL AHMEDABAD RECCOMENDATIONS

The workshop addressed some of the extremely important issues related to Heritage planning and management. Distinguished speakers and presenters brought important issues forward. PEARL Ahmedabad discussed the following very important issues.

Some of the highlighted issues are
