  • CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild
    CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild APRIL ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Book Endorsements Seung-soo Han Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Creating Livable Asian Cities comes at a timely moment. The book emphasizes innovative technologies that can overcome challenges to make the region’s cities better places to live and grow. Its approach encourages stronger urban institutions focused on all people in every community. The book will inspire policy makers to consider concrete measures that can help cities ‘build back better,’ in other words, to be more resilient and able to withstand the next crisis. In the post-pandemic period, livable Asian cities are a public good, just as green spaces are. Following this credo, however, requires Asia to invest in creating livable cities so they can fulfil their potential as avenues of innovation, prosperity, inclusiveness, and sustainability. In this book, Asian Development Bank experts map the challenges facing cities in the region. Its five priority themes—smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport, sustainable energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation—illuminate a path for urbanization in Asia over the next decade. This book will lead us to the innovative thinking needed to improve urban life across the region. Maimunah Modh Sharif Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Creating Livable Asian Cities addresses various urban development challenges and offers in-depth analysis and rich insights on urban livability in Asia from an urban economics perspective. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is well-placed to review the investment needs of cities that will contribute to sustainable development.

  • Solar Federalism: What Explains the Variation in Solar Capacity Additions by India’S States?
    Energy Research & Social Science 71 (2021) 101815 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Energy Research & Social Science journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/erss Solar federalism: What explains the variation in solar capacity additions by India’s states? Joshua W. Busby, Sarang Shidore LBJ School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: In 2014, India embarked on an ambitious effort to scale-up solar electricity. Despite a major top-level push by the India central government, India’s states show stark variation in their performance as measured by installed utility-scale Solar solar capacity. This paper seeks to explain that puzzle. We first code 19 of India’s states on utility-scale solar Renewables performance and classify them into categories of Achievers, Middlers, Laggards, and Marginals. We then identify Climate change plausible and testable factors of performance including solar irradiance, power deficits, distribution company Mitigation Energy transition financialhealth, coal costs, land access, and political alignment of the state with the central government. Overall, Federalism irradiance, distribution company health, coal costs, and land access were the most influential, but counter- intuitively, political alignment was minimally relevant. Achievers tended to have some favorable combination of irradiance, power deficits, distribution company health, coal costs, and in some cases land access. Marginals were associated with unfavorable Discom health, land access, and coal costs. Patterns for Middlers and Laggards were less clear. To identify additional state-specificfactors that affected performance, we also carry out detailed case studies for three states - Karnataka (Achiever), Madhya Pradesh (Middler), and Maharashtra (Laggard). These show the importance of political and bureaucratic leadership, path-dependence, and interest group in­ fluence.
