I am glad to be a part of

this edition of the newslet-

ter. This edition has come at

a time when the Govern-

ment of Gujarat has been

awarded with five prestig-

ious ―India Today - Best

City Awards - 2013‖ in

different categories. The

award winning cities were

selected after a survey of

fifty cities across India.

Awards and recognition of

cities in Gujarat is not a

new phenomena; in the last

couple of years, cities like

Ahmedabad, Surat, and

Vadodara have consistently

figured at the top in sur-

veys conducted by various

international and national

agencies like Forbes, City

Mayors Association, International Market Research Bureau

(IMRB) etc.

These awards and recognitions are a result of series of initia-

tives undertaken by the State Government in the last decade

that have focused on development of urban infrastructure viz.

roads, transport, water supply, waste water and solid waste

management etc. The Government of Gujarat (GoG) has initi-

ated many reform-driven schemes like the Swarnim Jayanti

Mukhya Mantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana (SJMMSVY) - which caters

to the development need of Gujarat‟s major urban centers (i.e.

8 Municipal Corporations and 159 Municipalities across the

state).

Apart from these, the state government has initiated several

projects in the areas of disaster management, health care, edu-

cation, women empowerment, rurban development, industrial

development, investment promotion etc. which have been repli-

cated in other states of the country.

Owing to the proactive approach of governance, it has been

able to put at bay the issues arising out of the rapid urbaniza-

tion which the state is witnessing. (Census 2011 figures show

that there is 42.6% urban population in the state).

With this overview, we will take you through the details of how

the state has been able to invigorate the development of its

cities and urban spaces with innovative ideas and their speedy

implementation in this edition of the newsletter.

We have been and remain committed to provide best infra-

structure and healthy ecosystem in the state. So I welcome you

to associate with Gujarat and be part of the state's growth

journey.

Gujarat has invigorated the development of its cities and urban spaces with innovative ideas

and their speedy implementation

Gujarat has been witnessing a phenomenal increase in urbanization. Census 2011 figures show that the urban population of the state is 2.57 crore, which is 42.6% of the total population. The decennial growth of urbanization in the state is a staggering 35.8%. Fully responsive to the requirements of the burgeoning population in urban areas, and committed to sustainable development and inclusive growth, the Government of Gujarat (GoG) has initiated many reform-driven schemes

like the Swarnim Jayanti Mukhya Mantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana (SJMMSVY).

The noteworthy approach of the SJMMSVY initiative lies in the fact that it caters to the development needs of Gujarat‟s 8 Municipal Corporations (cities – Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar, Junagadh) and 159 Nagarpalikas (towns) across the state, bringing at their doorstep facilities usually associated with bigger cities. The initiative is completely funded by the state Government and while it started with an initial budget of Rs. 7000 crore,

today this figure has increased to an outlay of Rs. 15,000 crore.

State government has also taken up „rurban‟ projects with an objective to combine village-like tranquil atmosphere and city

-like facilities and to lessen the burden of population in the cities.

The concerted effort of the Government of Gujarat has resulted in being awarded with five prestigious ―India Today- Best

City Awards-2013‖ in different categories. All the five awards were received by Shri I.P. Gautam, Principal Secretary

(Urban Development) of Gujarat Government from Union Minister for Urban Development Shri Kamal Nath. The cities were

ranked on a primary survey of 50 cities and out of these, 17 cities were shortlisted with five from Gujarat. Cities of Gujarat

Forbes list of the world's fastest growing cities included Ahmedabad at number 3 after Chengdu and Chongqing from China. In the last few years Gujarat‘s various urban development initiatives have won over 50 awards. Gujarat has topped the list of completion of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) projects and scores impres-sively in the utilization of funds from the same initiative. In the last decade, the State Government has taken a series of initiatives dedicated to urban areas that have generated wonderful results. Gujarat‟s pioneering initiatives in areas such as water and waste management, disaster management, health care, education, women empowerment, rurban development, industrial development, investment promotion have been replicated in other states of the country. State of the Art Infrastructure is shaping more visibly in Gujarat with the strategic implementation of Big 2020 Infrastructure plan. The ultimate goal of BIG 2020 is to create robust social, industrial and physical infrastructure network ensuring accelerated inclusive and sustainable growth.

Clean City Pilot Project‟ to be implemented in 50 cities in Gujarat. GOG to implement solid waste management

and water treatment management projects in 50 towns.

The state government has planned to implement solid waste management and water treatment management projects on pilot bases in 50 towns of Gujarat. The state government has mulled a revenue model with a view to make cities clean. Under this, unclean water will be treated and then will be supplied to the farmers. Solid waste will also be con-

verted into organic fertilizer and will be given to the farmers.

The first impression of the city is formed depending on the quality of roads, the traffic etc. Recognizing that urban transport is a vital corner-stone of economic growth, due importance has been given to roads

and all facets of urban mobility by the Government.

In Gujarat, many flyovers have been built that have streamlined traffic movements in congested areas of cities. Surat is now known as the „Flyover City of Gujarat‟ due to the impressive flyovers that have eased the con-gestion in traffic prone areas. In Ahmedabad as well, many flyovers and underpasses have brought about significant improvement in the traffic con-

dition.

The successful implementation of the Bus Rapid Transport Sys-tem (BRTS) project in Ahmedabad which proved to be a failed ex-periment in other cities is one an outstanding feat. Known as Jan-marg, the project was chosen as a part of UN‟s Lighthouse Project last year. The project is also planned to be extended to the cities of Surat and Rajkot. It was the sheer political will of Shri Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat, which facilitated miraculous out-comes to the Janmarg Project with awards such as Sustainable Transport Award and Natio nal Award for „Excellence in the cate-

gory of the best ITS project‟.

In order to ensure the cohesion, integration and safe functioning of all modes of transport, air, water and land, GoG announced the formation of Multimodal Affordable Transport Authority (MATA) in 2012. With the development of world class cities along the coastline, MATA has aimed to guarantee faster waterway commutation as well as speed-

ier conveyance for Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC).

A metro rail project has commenced between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.

The Gujarat Government has sought to collaboratively work along with Ministry of Railways for a High Speed Rail Corridor between Ahmedabad– Mumbai–Pune and has carried out a feasibility study as well. The second High Speed Rail Corridor has been planned between Ahmedabad and Dholera. The entire network shall be connected with an eco-friendly mode of transport and these High Speed Rail Corridors shall be integrated with the Metro Rail System and

the Regional Rail Networks.

In the 6th Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors‟ Summit-2013, the Government of Gujarat proposed to develop six new world-class cities, besides developing seven twin cities, preserving environmental and development aspects. Along with the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar twin city project, the state government plans to replicate the twin city model of urban development for the cities like Vadodara-Halol, Madhapar-Bhuj, Surendranagar-Wadhwan, Surat-Navsari, , Bharuch-Ankleshwar and Morbi-Wankaner. Along with Twin Cities, GoG is going to develop Satellite Towns and is on the

way to building world-class cities like Dholera, which will take Gujarat into the vibrant future!

Focal Point Page 7

With so many people moving to the cities, adequate housing facilities pose another challenge. GoG has taken several steps to strengthen the urban housing facilities across the state. In order to make Gujarat slum-free, a survey of converting over 25 lakh Ku-chha houses into Pukka houses has already been completed. 22 lakh houses were built in the last decade and the beneficiaries of

this have been the poor of Gujarat.

The Bhadra Precinct Revitalization Project in Ahmedabad has

won the 'HUDCO Award for Best Practices to Improve the Living

Environment'. This Rs. 112 crore project is one-of-its-kind in the country and among first heritage and pedestriani-

zation projects to be assisted under the JNNURM. The linking of the Bhadra project with the Sabarmati River-

front was an inclusive planning technique, to improve the local economic conditions of those who live in the city.

The project also scored because it was geared towards making Ahmedabad traffic-free and making it accessible

to pedestrians. The project is being undertaken after the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) signed the first

ever MoU with the Archaeological Survey of India to partner in this revitalization project.

The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is an urban regeneration and environmental improvement initiative cur-rently under way in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It involves the recla-mation of a 10.5 kilometer stretch of the banks of the Sabar-mati River, creating a new public space for cultural and civic institutions. Along the river, space is being made for recreation and markets. The aim was to transform the stretch of river from a geographical divider in the middle of the city to a focal

point for leisure and recreation.

AMC received HUDCO National Award 2012 for innovative infrastructure development for the Riverfront Project. On an earlier occasion, the Sabarmati Riverfront project also bagged the Prime Minister award for the best concept and

design of a public project. In 2006, the Sabarmati Riverfront Project was the recipient of the National Safety Council of India, Safety

Award (Prashansa Patra).

Innovative landmark projects like the Kankaria Lake Develop-ment Project and the Science Centre in Surat will go a long way in

enhancing the quality of life of urban residents.

Kankaria Lake, a former dilapidated and polluted royal bath-ing ground is now a vibrant cultural and recreation centre after im-plementation of practical solutions to improve the environment, or-

ganise traffic movement and rehabilitate the food vendors.

The area belonging to Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority (GUDA) along with the other parts of Gandhi-nagar is emerging as a „knowledge corridor‟. This area has got various specialized universities which are unique

in entire world.

In the coming days Gandhinagar will be able to generate, use and sell the solar power by installing solar panels

on the roof of houses of residents.

UK-based charity, The Ecological Sequestration Trust (TEST), has selected Surat as one of the three cities in the

world, to be developed as "Global Eco-cities."

Gujarat has received a number of national and international awards in last decade for Good Governance. Under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi as Chief Minister, Gujarat has developed one of the best infrastruc-tures in the country and created conducive environment for its people to realize their full potential and excel in their chosen vocation. One such initiative to promote Good Governance in urban areas through e-Governance is e-

City.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has effectively implemented „e-City‟ through 50 City Civic Centers (e-City Cen-ters) located throughout the city. Given the replicability of e-City initiative, the system architecture and the software avail-able with the AMC has been adopted and adapted. A number of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have followed suit and operation-alized City Civic Centers in their cities. There are over 200 City Civic Centers in various towns and cities and a systematic effort is being made to roll them out in all the ULBs in requi-site numbers.
