    CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area

    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs CoMTrans UrbanTransport Master Plan Final Report CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1.1 Definition The Western Province is the most developed province in Sri Lanka and is where the administrative functions and economic activities are concentrated. At the same time, forestry and agricultural lands still remain, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the province. And also, there are some local urban centres which are less dependent on Colombo. These areas have less relation with the centre of Colombo. The Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined in order to analyse and assess future transport demands and formulate a master plan. For this purpose, Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined by: A) areas that are already urbanised and those to be urbanised by 2035, and B) areas that are dependent on Colombo. In an urbanised area, urban activities, which are mainly commercial and business activities, are active and it is assumed that demand for transport is high. People living in areas dependent on Colombo area assumed to travel to Colombo by some transport measures. 4.1.2 Factors to Consider for Future Urban Structures In order to identify the CMA, the following factors are considered. These factors will also define the urban structure, which is described in Section 4.3. An effective transport network will be proposed based on the urban structure as well as the traffic demand. At the same time, the new transport network proposed will affect the urban structure and lead to urban development.

    EFFECTS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ON FLOODS (A CASE STUDY FROM KESBEWA URBAN COUNCIL- COLOMBO DISTRICT– SRI LANKA) B.A.R VidushanI1 ; E.N.C. Perera 2 1 Post graduate student at University of Peradeniye, Faculty of Agriculture, Kandy, Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] 2Sanasa Campus ltd.; Paragammana, Hettimulla, Kegalle, Sri Lanka Email: [email protected] KEY WORDS: urbanization, urban vegetation cover, urban flood frequency, runoff coefficient, impermeable surfaces ABSTRACT: Over the past decades, the Sri Lanka has become an increasingly urban society. These changes are significantly observed from the rapid conversion of rural area to peri –urban or urban areas. The changes in land use associated with urban development affect flooding in many ways. The increase in artificial surfaces due to urbanization causes an increase in flooding and flash flooding frequency due to poor infiltration and reduction of flow resistance.Kesbewa Located at 20 km from Colombo, Kesbewa Urban Council (KUC) with its 152,657 inhabitants is rapidly being developed and urbanized. Historically, Kesbewahas been an agricultural area endowed with the excess water resources of the bordering Bolgoda lake. A relatively large area of paddy lands can still be found in its lower-lying zones. However, as a result of the continuous growth of Colombo and expansion of the urban boundaries of Colombo Metropolitan Region, Kesbewa Urban Council became an attractive residential area for commuters, now hosting over 244,000 inhabitants (2012 census) on 49 km2 of land. Many of the agricultural areas were gradually converted to non-agricultural areas, resulting in about 60% of the land now being used for residential purposes and related amenities.

    UNDP / UN-Habitat - Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP) Sustainable (Sri Lankan) Cities Programme (SCCP II) PROFILE Wattala- Mabole Urban Council March 2002 • UN-Habitat (SCP) • Government of Sri Lanka (Western Provincial Council) • Wattala Urban Council • SEVANATHA – Urban Resource Centre (Local Partner Institution) City Profile – Wattala Mabole Urban Council Introduction This city profile was prepared as part of the requirement of the Sustainable (Sri Lankan) Cities Programme (SCCP II) which is being implemented in the Colombo urban area during the time period of 2001 – 2002 involving eight urban local authorities (i.e. Colombo Municipal Council, Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte Municipal Council, Dehiwala Mt. Lavinia Municipal Council, Moratuwa Municipal Council, Negambo Municipal Council, Kolonnawa Urban Council, Wattala Mabole Urban Council and Panadura Urban Council). The primary purpose of preparation of a city profile is to understand the current status of environmental resources in the city, the development activities and the nature of interaction between these two factors. It is neither scientific investigation nor a high profile technical report but it is a simple document, which tries to highlight the current problems relating to city development in the concerned area. It also emphasizes on a participatory decision making process to solve the identified problems in the city. This city profile can be further updated and improved continuously whereby the local authority staff would be able to improve their skills in preparing documents such as these, which are essential for decision making at city level and influencing the policy making authorities above them. In this context, this city profile may be considered as a first step towards developing a proper database for Wattala Mabole town supporting towards better management of its future development activities.
