Building New Cities

A Case Study---- Greater Noida

Lessons from NCR 1

National Capital Region

• Conceived to disperse Delhi immigration• Ghaziabad, Faridabad----city extensions• Gurgaon/Manesar• Noida • Greater Noida ---- 1991 • The main states---- Haryana, Uttar Pradesh

2

Two Models

• Haryana Model---- Broad Land Use Plan by State: Private Developers develop land -----

Segmented Approach

• Uttar Pradesh Model----- State Agency acquires land. Prepares a development

Master Plan---- Integrated View

3

UP Cities

• Ghaziabad------ extension of old city

• Noida------ to relocate Delhi industries

• Greater Noida ------ founded in 1991-92

4

Greater Noida

• Handful of new integrated cities

• Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority:- Responsible for

Planning, Development, O&MRegulationInvestment Promotion

• A One Stop Shop for the City

• Industrial Area Development Act 1976

5

Proposed Urban Area

• Phase-1 (up to 2001)Population : 3.0 LacsUrbanisable Area : 5075 Ha

• Phase-2 (up to 2011)Population : 7.0 LacsUrbanisable Area : 12,000 Ha

• Phase-3 (up to 2021)Population : 12.0 LacsUrbanisable Area : 20,000 Ha

Challenges…

• How do we develop the City Infrastructure• How do we decide the quality and standard of

facilities Planning for Abundance : Change of Mind Set

• Providing Housing and Water for all• How to make the city a pleasant place to live in

Providing Clean, Healthy, and Green EnvironmentHarmony of Urban Form and LandscapingLife Style compatible lay-outs

7

Planning and Infrastructure Design

• How do we ensure development and maintenance after city is populated ?

• Management of Urban Services on commercial principles

• Providing for the controlled growth of Informal sector

• Employment opportunities And Population Explosion : counter magnets, satellite towns…

• Security of citizens8

Challenges…Infrastructure development and its O&M

• Decentralisation and delegation of power • Inclusion of stakeholders• Shared Vision and Codified Systems• Simplified Regulations and Uniform

Enforcement • Manage Change: Acceptance of new vision • Champions--- within and without• Delegate, communicate, public ownership • Political cohesion and accountability

9

Challenges…Governance Model

Challenges …

Persistent Cash-flow deficit as cities mature . . . • Funding the Infrastructure Development and

maintenance of cities Revenue from tax collection goes to center or states kittyDiscretionary allocation of budget, at the mercy of center or state who does not control the problems that city is facing Nil or abysmally low revenue collection for real municipal functions

• Land of Plenty:- “Supply to Precede Demand”

• A Green Lung of the region, marked difference in greenery and openness----a relief from the urban sprawl of the rest of the NCR

• Landscaped/ Urban Design--Pleasant place to be and live in

• Innovative Planning

VISION FOR THE CITY

• A MODERN, EFFICIENT CITY OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

• AN ECO-FRIENDLY RELAXED ENVIRONMENT:-

• GREEN, LANDSCAPED, FLOWERS, FOUNTAINS, AESTHETICS.

• LAND OF PLENTY: SUPPLY TO PRECEDE DEMAND

VISION FOR THE CITY

• HOLISTIC PLANNING TO COVER ALL URBANISATION ISSUES.

• PARTICIPATION OF THE RURALPOPULATION IN URBANISATION.

• LACK OF CLARITY OF VISION: CONFLICTING CLAIMS

• VERY LITTLE EMPHASIS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN

• DIVORCE OF PHYSICAL PLAN FROM FISCAL PLAN

• ABSENCE OF TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN

• NO ATTENTION TO LANDSCAPINGURBAN DESIGN URBAN FORM

• TENDENCY TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE INDIVIDUAL

17

Challenges…Drawbacks in Planning Process

Challenges …

• DIRTY AND UNKEMPT

• INADEQUATE AND SUBSTANDARD SERVICES AND FACILITIES

• POOR MAINTENANCE

• WEAK ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS

• INADEQUATE PROVISION OF HOUSING FOR WEAKER SECTIONS

• AD HOC FIXES RATHER THAN LONG TERM SOLUTIONS

• SHORTAGE OF FUNDS

18

Drawbacks in Existing Indian Cities

In Greater Noida, focus and emphasis In Greater Noida, focus and emphasis was given on controlled planning, was given on controlled planning,

development, regulating unplanned development, regulating unplanned development and on efficient development and on efficient

maintenance of the city infrastructure,maintenance of the city infrastructure,all this from day oneall this from day one

Therefore, learning from our existing cities………..

EVOLUTION OF THE CONCEPT STRUCTURE PLAN

Land Suitability Analysis

• Proximity to linkages• Proximity to existing settlements• Ground water availability• Soil type and soil bearing capacity• Drainage pattern• Proximity to ecologically sensitive areas.

Superimposition by weightage method to identify

• Areas most suitable and moderately suitable for urbanisation.

• Ecologically sensitive areas not suitable for urban development.

• Ground water re-charge areas not suitable for urban development.

• Areas away from main approaches and should be taken up as last priority for urbanisation.

Elements of City Planning• Sector layouts critical in defining a city’s life

style.

• Parks and playgrounds---- Flowing Greens--- 45% area under roads and open spaces.

• Daily Needs at Walking Distances

• Equitable norms for social infrastructure defined for each sector; provided from the beginning

34

…Thought-through plan addressing the likely problems of today's cities

• Informal Sector planned as an integral part of the city

• Provision of Kiosks at Strategic Locations • Convenient earmarked places for hawkers • Weekly markets• Sites for housing for informal sector: 5% of

residential area • Urbanisation and Integration of Villages with

the city

Roads built for almost full traffic from the startNo direct access on arterial roads Design and maintenance norms specifiedPedestrian/Cycle Movement Plan Liberal Parking NormsNo parking in Road Right of WayParking areas identified/developedBus bays as part of road designBus shelters

…… Smooth Flow of Traffic

The distinguishing characteristic of Greater Noida

… Urban Design Plan

• Emphasis on City Aesthetics

Manicured Landscapes.Solid Waste Management System.Well planned Street Furniture.Harmony of form and colour of buildings.Development of Focal Points.

…. Environmentally Sustainable …The Landscaping Plan

• Key Features

About 25% area reserved for Greenery Interlinked green spaces – continuous lung spaceGreen belts along arterial roads to control development, improve aesthetics and environmentIntroduced innovative concept of institutional green areasDetailed tree plantation plan to ensure shade & flowers round the year

• Ensuring StreetscapeDetailed Signage PlanNo hoardings permitted in the cityControlled Signages and Display BoardsNo-Bills / No Painting on walls - Heavy penalties Large Plot owners to install illuminated boardsProvisioning for Public ConveniencesWell laid out avenues

…… Pleasing Environment

• Harmony of Urban FormNorms defined for ramps, design / height of boundary walls, plantation, plinth height

Predefined Colour Scheme for buildings on main roads

All services provided inside individual premises at the time of initial development

Building Lines Specified through detailed Zonal Plan

…. Ensuring Urban Form

Elements of City Planning

• City Level Infrastructure• Land Use Plans/ Zoning regulations • Sewerage and Solid Waste• Environmental Impact– Water

Harvesting• Institutions/Industries • Soft Infrastructure• Shelter for the poor• Life style requirements

The City

• A Human Enterprise • A segment of land where people have

chosen to live and work • Mosaic of activities and buildings • Woven together by a network of

streets, transportation, utilities • Held together by social bonds and

economic conditions42

Role of City Planning

• A City Plan has to arrange all these elements properly as the city develops

• Not simply about the construction of buildings and parking lots on isolated parcels, and the physical infrastructure

• In the aggregate it is about something much larger and significant to all citizens: community building.

Governance and Regulation Model

• Greater Noida was Set-up in January 1991 under the UP Industrial Area Development Act 1976

• The Act mandates Planning, Development, Operations & Maintenance as well as Regulation functions

• GNIDA as the Investment Promotion Agency

…… GNIDA’s Mandate

• Lean Management & Operative Organisation Structure

Outsourcing of activitiesFollowing the Management contract route to Operate and Maintain the servicesComputer based operative and implementation systems

Lean Management Structure

…. Evolved the Concept Structure Plan

• Strong Regional Linkages• Linear City, with Central Spine• Grid Iron Pattern• National / Regional Activities on periphery• Industrial Areas located on Periphery• Well distributed Commercial / Institutional• Interlinked Greens• Ecologically Sensitive Areas• Ground Water Recharge Areas

54

Guideline and Systems• Minimal Regulation --- Strict Compliance• Emphasis on ‘Envelope Concept’

Periphery of building (Setback, Ground coverage, FAR, Building height)Internal details are prerogative of Owners

• Well defined Bye-laws, guidelines & directions for development

• Clear time frames for various clearances

• Certification of Plans by Architects• Deemed Completion

Setting Performance Standards

• Quantitative standards defined for services (Downtime, complaint response time, periodicity & frequency of service, preventive maintenance)

Power SupplyWater Supply & Sewage TreatmentSolid Waste ManagementConvergence Network Road MaintenanceSecurity of public & private properties

• Strict penalties defined for violation of these standards by operators

Transparent Administration

• Simplified regulations

• Uniformity in enforcement

• Exceptions only in very rare cases

• System for land allotment and tendering well publicised.

• Transparency

Powers have been decentralized and given to Neighbourhood

Management Councils, ensuring compliance of laws relating to

planning and maintenance of services

Enhanced Role for Community

Powers, Duties and Responsibilitiesof NMCs

• Implementation of regulations, Bye-laws, guidelines, directions

• Supervising and organising maintenance of all services and amenities as arranged by Authority

• Educate and motivate the residents to follow ‘good practices’

• Ensure that the appointed operators perform their duties in the their neighbourhood, viz. Solid Waste Management, Security Personnel(s), etc.

• Change in land use subject to NMC concurrence

3 Fund(s) Management

Challenge of Managing Capex and Revenue Expenditure

• Capital expenditure plan synchronized with the Master Plan of the City

• Capital Budget and Profitability Analysis on long term basis to ensure financial sustainability of the city

• Fix on Revenue Expenditure through management contract policy to ensure better control

• Accounting Policy in placeAchieved double entry system Policy on accrual basis, gives product-wise profitability Separate reserve funds for expansion and maintenance of services provided for

Financial Management

ADEQUATE FINANCIAL PROVISIONING FOR:-

--- CREATION OF ASSETS

--- SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE

Financial Provision for Creation

• Long term corporate plan prepared --- fund created for future development

• Special funds created for future development and city level projects and facilities

• All costs loaded in pricing of land

63

Provision for Maintenance

• Part provision made in the capital cost

• Specific items earmarked for each fund---- For landscaping---- For urban services

64

Funds Created for …

Urban services1) Lease Rent2) User Fees3) Fees and Penalties4) Interest from urban services fund

Greening and landscaping1) Charges for special projects2) Income from sale of green areas.

• Enhancement of Revenue BaseDifferential pricing mechanism for commercial, residential, industrial and institutionalLoading cost of special projects on the basic sale price, loaded upfront..User fee for maintenance of infrastructure and landscaping, pay as you use concept (for water)Have built in enough reserve funds to manage the major overhaul and rehabilitation of assets

Innovative ways to ensure sufficient fund flows

Private SectorAn Equal Partner in City’s

Development

Private Sector to be a Major Player in Civic Services

• To avoid experience of other cities:-bloated staffpoor services

• Mobilise Private Sector Finances

• More efficient services

• State of art technology

• Substantial Private Sector ParticipationPrivate Power distribution since 1993 (NPCL)Convergence Network (Now Citi Cable)Solid Waste Management - waste collection, segregation at source, transportation, mechanical sweeping of main roads Residential Colonies and Group Housing Malls and Commercial Development

• Participation within the framework of the City Plan

…. Facilitated The Development Processthrough private sector participation

• Very Few Players for Civic Services• Too risk averse: risk sharing vs. no risk • Guarantees for 10-20 years required• Emphasis on short-term benefits

Disregard for quality of servicesTemptation to violate norms with disastrous long-term effects

• Need to develop private sector as a good brand

Experience of the Privatisation Process

• Commitment needed of all the players, public and private

• Private Sector Participants to be equally conscious of maintaining norms

• Necessary to devise a system to act as a continuous watchdog

• Concerned & informed public opinion needs to bring its weight to ensure

continued adherence to the vision drafted for the CITY
