1 66 th NATIONAL TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNERS CONGRESS Urban Environmental Planning: Consequences and Challenges 2 4 February, 2018 Taj Krishna, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad INSTITUTE OF TOWN PLANNERS, INDIA 4-A, Ring Road, I. P. Estate, New Delhi
2 Urban Environmental Planning: Consequences and Challenges In India more than half of the population is expected to live in urban areas by 2050, due to increase in level of urbanization from 31 percent in 2011, to over 50 percent by 2050 which will open up opportunities as well as challenges for the country. As India is urbanizing fast, serious environmental issues have taken the center stage in planning and governance discourses. World as well as India is facing extreme climatic conditions like intense rainfall, drought, heat wave, etc. Infrastructure development became a puzzle for the cities, as they are struggling with infrastructure inadequacy. The consequences of lack of environmental approach to urban planning can be seen through intense rainfall in Chennai and Mumbai, air quality issues of Delhi, droughts in Maharashtra, floods of Bihar and Orissa and many more. Lack of sustainable management of urban basic services and transportation; and inefficiency in the land policy increasing land pressure beyond their carrying capacity are some of the major issues of environmental degradation. A sustainable society needs resilient ecosystems. Planning policies generally are not able to fulfil deficiency of services and provide services in an environment friendly way. One of the major threats for achieving an urban environmental friendly planning is inadequate governance i.e. weak institutional capacity, poor inter-sectoral coordination, lack of effective public accountability, inadequate regulatory policies, inefficient economic policies, insufficient knowledge and information, shortage of qualified and experienced professionals. We need to adopt general principles and pragmatic approaches to integrate environment in urban planning. Policy imperatives and environmental sustainability of urban form should aim at energy efficiency in transport and green built environments. New Urban Agenda Habitat-III is also aimed at achieving environmental sustainability by promoting clean energy, sustainable use of land and resources in urban development focusing on building urban resilience; reducing disaster risks; and mitigating and adapting to climate changes. India is an integral part of this UNHabitat III Agenda and has made its own contribution to the Agenda. In line with the global and Indian concerns about the environment. The Institute of Town Planners, India (ITPI) has decided to focus on the theme of Urban Environmental Planning: Consequences and Challenges in its 66th National Town and Country Planners' Congress to discuss and exchange the ideas on the topic which has critical significance for the human race. To supplement the main theme, three sub-themes will focus on: Environmental Challenges of Urbanization: It is well known from the modern history of city development that rapid urbanization and industrial development leads to environmental degradation. Inspite of inclusion of sustainability in plans, planning guidelines and persistently talking about climate change, risk and resilience, we have been observing constant environment degradation world over. Increasing rate of urbanization with migration to urban areas, urban sprawl leading to acquisition of agricultural lands, deficiency of infrastructure, lack of open spaces and parks, pose serious environmental challenges.
3 Continuous building activity eventually spills over to choke waterways causing floods during monsoons, as is being faced by citizens presently in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. Infrastructure deficiency also causes pollution as unplanned resource management, depletes natural resources and creates unhealthy environment. However, filling these gaps attracts more people to cities causing over crowding, many times, haphazard growth manifested in the form of unauthorized development and slums. Solid wastes production and sewage wastes increase proportionately with population growth without adequate management capacities. Global temperature is increasing every year causing uncertainty in weather conditions. Rapid increases in the number of vehicles and industrial (air, water and land) pollution degrades air, land and water quality. Environmental issues of urbanization are very critical and need to be dealt with sensitively. Environment and Development Plans: Development Plan is located at the core of planning practice, making planning policies and development control regulations the key elements of the day to day business of planning practice. However, Master Plans and Regional Plans generally have chapters on the environment, it is worth considering whether inclusion of a separate chapter on environment in a Development Plan is a good idea, environment being such a crucial part of city planning practice. Some view that a separate chapter on environment in a Development Plan shows the seriousness with which planning agencies take environmental concerns into account. Others who posit a contrarian view stress that instead of one dedicated chapter to environment in a Development Plan, various facets of environment should be embedded in all planning policies of a plan, making environment as an overarching principle for guiding development. If planning is considered a spatially orientated and integrative discipline, it goes without saying that environmental concerns should be embedded in all policies of a plan. Local Sub-Theme: Urban Flooding: Urban floods can strike any where without warning, occur when a large volume of rainfall is experienced within a short time period. Human activities are more responsible rather than meteorological factors for urban flooding. Overgrazing, over cultivation, soil erosion and deforestation were traditionally considered causes of flooding. Areas which were essentially created for storm water drains to let their flood waters pass freely, are encroached by haphazard development by blocking the access to run off of the rain water. So called development overtakes natural drainage systems. Urbanization also, reduces surface run-off due to paved surfaces which decrease ground absorption and increase speed and amount of surface water flow. Urban flooding not only affects environment but also has economic costs and infrastructure losses. About Hyderabad Hyderabad is located in southern parts of the newly created Telangana state with geographical area of 217 sq km and population of 39,00,000 as per Census of India Hyderabad offers a combination of rich
4 traditional ambience and most traditional-modern, progressive and developed urban center in India. It is an emerging information technology and biotechnology hub of India. Hyderabad is well connected by air, rail and by roads to all major cities of India. Hyderabad has a tropical climate and is characterized by hot summer and dry winter except during the south-west monsoon season when it is wet. During the conference time climate in Hyderabad would be pleasant with temperatures ranging from 15 C to 30 C. Exhibition An exhibition on Urban Environment is being organized during the Congress. It would provide an opportunity to various stakeholders to showcase their efforts and success stories. In order to book space in the exhibition and to secure other details, please contact Shri K.
