for ULBs in Uttar Pradesh

From MDGs to SDGs – Agenda 2030

In September 2015, the world moved from MDGs – SDGs

PEOPLE PLANET PROSPERITY PEACE PARTNERSHIP

The “Agenda 2030” clearly defines the world we want – applying to all nations and leaving no one behind (LNOB)

• LNOB principle as a core component of the

SDGs

• Inequalities need to be highlighted and tackled as

central to the Agenda 2030.

• Important to identify those at risk of being left

behind by global development and explore

pathways to prioritize their progress.

• Identify key markers of social exclusion

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

1 Agenda 5 Main Areas 17 Goals 169 Targets 240 Indicators

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

• SDGs offer a ‘supremely ambitious and transformational vision’ for our common future till 2030.

People Prosperity Planet Peace Partnership

Each goal isimportantin itself …

And theyare all

connected

Urban Today:

• Are home to 56% of human settlements

• Consume 75% of the earth’s natural resources

• Produce 60% of global GHG emissions

• Produce 50% of global waste

• Produce 80% of Global GDP

• 70% of world population will be living in cities by 2050

Cities are at the centre of Sustainable Development

Cities and Sustainable Development

Goal 11, the Stand-alone goal on cities and human settlements affirmstheir importance for attainment of sustainable development

Make cities and Human Settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Success in achieving the targets under SDG 11 sets stagefor achieving targets in many other SDG goals.

Recognition that cities are a string that connects allother goals

Acknowledges importance of implementation at locallevels and the role of local governments

Cities require monitoring systems to: support urban visioning and long-term plans;track progress for informed policy and sustainable development.

SDG 11 connection to other SDGs

SDG Indicators with Urban Component

Around one third of them can be measured at the local level

Around 80

indicators

have an

urban

component

240 Indicators are part of the Global Monitoring Framework adopted by the

Statistical Commission

Direct connection to urban policies and clear impact on cities and human settlements

Indicator 1.4.2 Proportion of total adult population with secure tenure rights to land, with legally recognized documentation and who perceive their rights to land as secure, by sex and by type of tenure

In conclusion….

“Cities are where the battle for sustainable development will be won or lost.”

The New Urban Agenda

Adopted in October 2016 in Quito, Ecuador

• Extension of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (complements SDGs processes)

• Builds on SDG 11, but addresses a wider range of urbanization and human settlements issues

• Enables implementation of SDG11 in a more expansive and integrated way • by addressing essential strategic spatial and governance

frameworks • National urban policies, legislation, spatial planning and local

finance frameworks.

• Provides spatial framework for the delivery of SDGs within urban areas by focusing on local level implementation.

• Places emphasis on the need to develop capacity of local authorities and other local actors for NUA and SDG implementation at the urban local level.

environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Governments have the primary responsibility

for follow-up and review, at the sub-national and national levels, in relation to the progress made in

implementing the Goals and targets.

80 % of all SDGs

indicators:

- have a local or

urban component

- can be measured at

the local level

- have a direct

connection to urban

policies

- have a clear impact

on cities and human

settlements

▪ Defining what a city or urban area

or human settlements is?

▪ How to deal with countries with many

cities/urban centers?

▪ How to manage spatial data needs ?

▪ Different reporting levels

▪ Coordination/Partnership

mechanisms

Several indicators require to

be collected locally:

11.2 11.3 11.4

Public Transport Land Consumption Cultural heritage

11.6 11.7

Solid waste and air quality

Public Space

Challenges

Challenges

•Limited data – especially for new indicators (including poor data sharing mechanisms among ministries/ agencies)

•Acceptability of non-conventional data into mainstream data structures

•Data disaggregation limitations

•Difficult levels of disaggregation e.gs gender, age, socio-economic status, location – which are beyond level of most data collection efforts

•High costs for local level data collection

The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is an

environmental improvement, social development and

urban rejuvenation project with multiple objectives...

It creates a spectacular waterfront for the entire city....

Sabarmati has always been important

to Ahmedabad

As a place for recreation As a source for drinking water

As a place to gather As a place for the poor to build their

hutments

And yet, Sabarmati was

abused and neglected

It became a place to dump garbage Sewage was flowing into the river

Slums made the river dirty Encroachments reduced the river’s flood

carrying capacity

SABARMATI RIVER FRONT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT :

▪ The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project is a city level

intervention.

▪ It is conceived and being implemented as a pioneering multi-benefit

project with significant urban transformation potential.

▪ This project is to transform the historic but neglected river Sabarmati

into a vibrant urban Space.

▪ Vital focus to return the river back to the citizens of Ahmedabad.

▪ The riverfront development is to transform the Sabarmati into a major

asset, which will improve the efficiency of its infrastructure and the

quality life in Ahmedabad.

▪ Revitalize the river, which in fact was carrying significant sewage flow

and used as dumping yard for disposal of garbage.

▪ As a process in urban renewal, It was proposed to have the elements

like;

• Self Financing,

• Environmental improvement,

• Cultural and social sustainability

• Transform the non-perennial river stretch

It can help slow down the city’s dispersal and offer live and work options in the center

Dense mixed use, compact and high rise development has altered

the city-scape of all great cities – made them more livable

Living close to work can encourage

people to walk and cycle or use public

transport. Makes the private vehicle less

popular.

Makes the city healthy
