Background/ Scenario

ecognizing the growing phenomenon of urbanization, Government of India launched JNNURM in the year 2005. In order to frame-out the planned development of the cities and also to make the cities sustainable the preparation of City RDevelopment plan was made mandatory by the Govt. of India. The concept of CDP preparation was further debated in Madhya Pradesh and the need of CDPs was highly recognized. The matter was taken up at the highest level of Government and it was decided to not restrict the CDP preparation to the Million plus cities but to also extend it to all the 360 Municipalities of the State. It was also decided by the State Govt to provide funds for it and to engage leading consultants for this job. Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country where urban development plans are being made on such a large scale. One of t he key feature in this process is the formulation of plans through consultative approach. The historic initiative of the State Govt. has almost taken up its final shape. The development plans of 96 cities of the state are completed and would get final approval from the concerned ULBs by the month of December while those of ten municipal corporations would get completed by March 2011. By the year 2013-14, development plans of all the civic bodies in the state will be completed.

1.1 Urbanisation in Madhya Pradesh : The Scenario

Madhya Pradesh is the second largest state in the country (9.4% of the country's geographical area) with a population of 60.35 million (about 6% of the country's population). It is also one of the fastest growing states of the country with population growth rate of 24.3% during the period 1991-2001 which is significantly higher than the all-India rate of 21.3% during the same period. There are 360 urban centres in the state, which comprise of 14 Nagar Palika Nigam (Municipal Corporations), 96 Nagarpalik Parishad (Municipal Council), and 250 Nagar Panchayats. Rate of urbanisation in Madhya Pradesh is fastly reaching the National average of 28%. It is expected to cross the 30% mark in another 15 years. Urbanization and globalization has lead to economic, social, and political transformation in many States of India. While this ongoing transition poses numerous challenges, it also offers significant opportunities to accelerate economic growth and improve the overall quality of life for its citizens. Whether this potential is realized depends critically on how Indian cities are managed. Strengthening urban management, through better planning, is therefore a key area by which cities can meet the challenges of urban development.

State's commitment for Urban development Madhya Pradesh is urbanising at a fast rate and the urban local bodies of the State are facing the challenge of meeting the requirements of the growing population with limited technical and financial resources. GoMP with the support of Government of India and other multilateral agencies has initiated a number of programmes to meet the growing demands of infrastructure and service delivery. These are the GoI schemes:Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP),the GoMP initiated DFID funded MPUSP, which links reform with investment in infrastructure for the poor etc. Other than this there are several programmes that have been initiated by the GoI and GOMP. As a part of its commitment to transform the State in to “ Swarnim Madhya Pradesh”, the Government of Madhya pradesh proposes to facilitate: (i) planned development (ii) facilitate investments for making the State slum-free; (iii) Social development and (iv) Strengthen the existing policies in order to achieve these goals. (Preparation of City Development Plans) Govt. of Madhya Pradesh

1.2 Need of planning interventions After the assessment of the performance of the ULBs and their capacity for exploiting the abovesaid resources it was felt that a city development vision is essential, not only for accessing GoI/GoMP funding but also for providing a strategic framework for converging and co-ordinating various development inputs towards positioning the city on a sustainable planned development path.

City Development Plans of 106 cities : Robust step of GoMP

· Considering above, the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh decided to get prepared the City development plans for all the towns through its own budgetary provisions. · Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Hon'ble Minister Urban Administration and Development, GoMP Shri Babulal Gaur took keen interest in the project and prepration of CDP's of all remaining Corporations and all Municipal Councils was taken up in July 2009. · While the CDP preparation for Municipal Corporation was initiated under the GoMP-DFID partnership project “UTTHAN”, the CDP preparation work for Nagar Palikas and historically important towns was undertaken by the State Govt. itself. · Special attention was given on religious and historic towns (despite of their small population).

The Project Cities

Cities selected for CDP Nagar Palika Holy cities (Preparation of City Development Plans) Govt. of Madhya Pradesh

Inception/RFP

The CDP preparation exercise was initiated in the month of July, 2009. The most important single factor was strong, committed consultants. In fact, it was well understood that the client should be vigorously involved in and dedicated to the project before the first consultant walks through the door. Selecting the consultant team was one of the most important decisions in implementing CDP project. Thus, it was decided to call the consent of highly qualified and leading firms which were empanelled under JNNURM. Other than the empanelled firms an RFP was floated to select other interested planning firms (for technical evaluation). Thus, the selection of consultants was based upon two criterions: · Technical evaluation based upon RFP · Consent of consultants empanelled under JNNURM

(see RFP at annex-1)

Figure 2 RFP as published in the National newspapers

The RFP was floated at the national level for interested companies and consent from the JNNURM empanelled interested companies were called. State got a tremendous response from planning firms/ agencies and received consent from 18 JNNURM empanelled firms and Technical proposals from 36 firms. Following a rigorous selection process 21 companies (out of 36) were selected and 17 JNNURM empanelled firms were found interested. (Preparation of City Development Plans) Govt. of Madhya Pradesh

FSpecial emphasis has been given on urban poor sector. JNNURM's 7 point charter has been considered for the same. F JNNURM's toolkit for Heritage cities has also been Figure 3 : CDP news, 30th September 2009 : Dainik Bhaskar considered. (Preparation of City Development Plans) Govt. of Madhya Pradesh

CDP Requisites

The preparation of the CDP took advantage of the Toolkit 2 prepared by GoI under JNNURM and other guidelines as formulated by Urban Administration and Development Department, GoMP and CIty Managers' Association Madhya Pradesh. The consultants were also instructed to follow Heritage toolkit for relevant cities. The toolkit provided guidance for formulation of a CDP based on the concept of a consultative strategic planning process. The requisites for CDP preparation as mentioned in the toolkit and RFP have been presented below:

“CDP will draw on the basic structure and planning process from the toolkit with a focus on integrating the current initiatives of various organisations and schemes and developing a strategic framework for undertaking priority developmental actions in the medium term. The CDP will also prepare the ground for mobilising funding beyond JNNURM and other existing programmes. It will particularly address the issue of revitalising local economic development by attracting private sector funding. Currently planning is only a discretionary function of ULBs in MP and there is a general lack of planning culture even in the larger Corporations. 4 cities of MP (Bhopal, Indore, , Ujjain), included in JNNURM have prepared their CDPs. The lessons from these need to be incorporated into the proposed CDPs. The CDP will also be linked into the overall spatial planning and policy framework of Master Plan and more importantly into the annual municipal budgeting. Linking the investment plan of the CDP with the municipal budgets will be crucial in ensuring the O&M and thus sustainability of the infrastructure assets created. Preparation of the CDP will consist of city development strategies that come out of a structured consultative process. The process will enable elected representatives, key staff of MC departments, parastatal agencies and other institutions, policy makers and the citizens to participate and plan for spatial, social and economic development of the concern cities. A City Development Plan (CDP) will present both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULB's strategic framework of sectoral plans translated into actions that define on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next five years.”

Aims and Objectives of the Assignment

The Purpose and Objectives for CDP preparation as mentioned in the toolkit and RFP have been presented below: The aim of this exercise is to support various Cities/Urban Local Bodies of Madhya Pradesh in preparing the City Development Plan (CDP) for their respective cities. The CDP should provide a comprehensive medium term strategy (Vision 2035) as well as a City Investment Plan (CIP), based on which the concerned ULB will be able to access funds under GoI/GoMP schemes as well as from own and other sources based on priority actions and projects identified in the CDP .The document should also provide Financial Operating Plan (FOP) to direct the ULBs for mobilising various financial resources to implement the identified projects. The City development Plan must adhere with the JNNURM's CDP preparation toolkit. The inadmissible components under JNNURM should also be included in the task. The CDP should also include Broad Master planning of the town and should be prepared keeping in view the Master Plan (wherever exists) provisions as prepared by Town and Country Planning Department . It is also expected that the CDP would provide Urban Reform Action Plan for the ULBs as envisaged under JNNURM. (Preparation of City Development Plans) Govt. of Madhya Pradesh
