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.
