| URBANIZATION |
Innovation in urban
development must first and foremost respond to the basic needs of stakeholders
and has to be BIHAR specific.
Bihar must begin by prioritizing
the integration of economic development, especially job growth, into the
planning process, which in turn must be flexible and future-focused. City
development programs will need to consider the natural advantages of given
urban locations, capital formation, public-private cooperation, the
connectivity quotient, as well as work-force readiness through education and
job training. “The JOBS that will provide for LIVING and then cater to LIFESTYLE”.
It should incorporate infrastructural planning for job creation, community
growth and environmental responsibility.
The state government
requires to seriously and deeply think to bring in PRIVATE players.Private
participants can contribute expertise and proficiency in areas such as urban
planning, design, construction, technology, logistics, and Sales &
Marketing. Typically, PPPs in urban development imply a long-term relationship
that spans the project’s life-cycle. Emphasis on output areas encourages
innovation focused on developing new, sustainable and cost-efficient methods
and models. Each party does what it does best; the Government can focus on its
administrative and regulatory know-how, and the private sector can focus on
operational and execution aspects. Delineating lines can sometimes blur, with
stakeholder-focused, strategic collaboration resulting in a win-win-win
situation that benefits communities, economic growth and the environment.
There is a limitless
world of possibilities for our collective urban future in Bihar. And there are
examples all around the world where Public-Private Partnerships are producing
innovative and successful urban models. For example, in 2015, Washington DC
(USA) entered a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a renewable energy partner
to prevent the release of air pollutants via alternatives such as wind
power.
Sustainable urbanization is today universally acknowledged as a vital
contributor to achieving global climate change goals. Therefore, the urban development
in BIHAR too needs to seek to reduce its emissions intensity. Patna already has
alarming levels of air pollutants. Planned and holistic urban development that
embraces both the environment and sustainable growth of the built environment
will be the key for urbanizing BIHAR. A sharp focus on adaptation and resilience,
driven by adequate infrastructural planning, clean energy, green construction,
multi-format housing and technology as an enabler can help drive BIHAR’s urban
agenda in the right direction. This will require active participation by both
the private and public sectors to promote responsible urbanization and evolve
sustainable frameworks that can collectively nurture the future of BIHAR’s
cities.
We have before us the opportunity to accord urban planning and development the
importance it truly deserves in BIHAR’s growth journey. It is an opportunity
for collaboration that has direct implications for future generations - an
opportunity for many lifetimes that we cannot afford to miss.
