Abstract
Urbanisation often goes hand in hand with a rise in urban violence and crime that manifests in terms of street harassment of women and girls, stalking, sexual violence, blackmailing and extortion rackets. Children and women are seen as soft spots who can be victimized by predators. One such incident in the city is enough and the feeling of insecurity is spread like wild fire. It not only frightens girls and women, it controls every act they consider doing then onwards (UN Women, 2015).
Smart cities have to be Safe cities. Town planners, policy makers and budget experts need to do gender budgeting to ensure women-friendly civic infrastructure- water, sanitation, health care, safe transport, public toilets, helplines, skill development for crisis management and, safety at work place. While making budgets for social defense services, consideration must be given to safety of girls and women in schools and colleges in terms of prevention of child sexual abuse through public education and counselling facilities, separate toilets for girls and boys in schools, legal literacy on POCSO Act, 2012 and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Workplace Act, 2013. Provision must be made to have special cells in the police department to take action against display of pornographic images, SMS messages, cybercrimes that victimize young girls at public places or in public transport- buses, local trains, rickshaws and taxis.

Good Governance Challenge for the Local Authorities Summary of the UN HabitatDr Lendy Spires
Governance is defined as the exercise of authority over a country's affairs at all levels, including mechanisms for citizens to articulate interests and mediate differences. Good urban governance is characterized by principles of sustainability, subsidiarity, equity, efficiency, transparency, accountability, civic engagement, and security. These principles include long-term strategic visions, equitable access to decision making and basic services, efficient public service delivery, and transparent/accountable local authorities.
This is a second take on a philosophical understanding of governance, from the point of view of knowledge and power. Here I try to understand the concept and what's it for using three main thinkers: Habermas, Foucault and Merleau-Ponty. While I claim that this is not cherry-picking of concepts, the truth is that there is much more to be said about governance from the point of view of knowledge formation.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN THE STATE OF PUNJAB- INTERFACE BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS OF TO...JitKumarGupta1
Indian believes in high traditions of democracy and accordingly, is characterized by multiplicity of laws. With focus on subject specific laws, one can see multiplicity laws. Each law tries to overtake other law, when they relate to the same subject. Sometimes there exists lot of overlapping and contradictions in the legal framework. Since India legal system remain bureaucratic and institutional focused under each law, focus of bureaucracy remains to create more laws and more space number for creating institutions and jobs for the bureaucracy. Despite India , as a nation accepting the role and importance of Urban local Bodies in 1972, when 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, was enacted, still states were passing laws in 1996 to create separate/additional/ independent agencies operating in the domain of urban planning, development and management, ignoring to empower urban local bodies to take up that role. Accordingly, state scenario in urban development in the country remains multi-faceted with existence of large number of departments and agencies operating in the urban development, which dilutes the intent of planned and orderly development in human settlements.Prevailing urban development scenario indicates existence of not only large number of urban laws but also large number of urban development agencies. However, there exists concentration of development agencies operating in the large urban areas but these agencies are conspicuous by their absence in the small urban settlements. Our capacity to create rational, effective, efficient, compact planning framework and agencies for effectively implementing of planning framework, will hold the key for future planned growth of urban settlements .Write-up focuses on the State of Punjab which has put in place a legal regime providing for promoting comprehensive and integrated development of urban and rural area through the preparation of Regional Plans and Master Plans in 1996 . In the year 2006, the entire set of provisions regulating the preparation of Regional Plans and Master Plans were critically reviewed, rationalized, simplified and modified drastically to streamline the procedure by making amendments eliminating/ minimizing number of vital steps involving public participation, involving urban local bodies; printing existing landuse plans etc. First master plan came into operation in 2006, after a decade of launching the Act. Till now more than 35 cities have bbeen covered unde such plans out of 216 urban settlements recorded in 2011 census.

Strategies for Promoting Good Governanace at Local Level urban g overnance (1...JitKumarGupta1
This document discusses strategies for improving urban governance at the local level in India. It notes that while Indian cities are major economic drivers, rapid urbanization has created challenges for service delivery. Key issues include poor urban governance, with state governments controlling local bodies; a historical low priority of urban development; weak capacities of urban local bodies; a mismatch between local body responsibilities and resources; and the presence of multiple overlapping agencies. The document argues for reforms to decentralize power to local bodies and strengthen their administrative, financial, and technical capacities to improve urban planning and service delivery.
Accountability, Citizen Voice and Public Service DeliveryRidho Fitrah Hyzkia
1. After a decade of decentralization in Indonesia, sub-national service quality remains low and community needs have failed to shape government priorities, despite higher funding levels not improving local outcomes.
2. Poor service delivery is not due to a lack of capacity, authority or resources at the local level, but because local government staff and frontline workers lack incentives and accountability for their performance.
3. Reforms are needed to improve local government efficiency and responsiveness to local needs through stronger community engagement and social accountability, as well as incentives for good performance by frontline public servants.
This document discusses social accountability and civic engagement in Pakistan.

The document provides details about the Smart Cities Mission in India, including:
- The mission aims to develop 100 smart cities across India through public-private partnerships and a city challenge competition.
- Selected cities will receive Rs. 100 crore (US$15 million) annually for five years from the government to fund smart city projects focusing on areas like housing, transportation, and technology infrastructure.
- The mission is expected to transform urban development in India by making cities more livable and sustainable through the use of smart technologies and solutions.
The document summarizes the progress of the United Nations Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery in Somalia (JPLG) in strengthening local governance and municipal finance through property taxation. Key accomplishments of JPLG include developing a legal framework for fiscal decentralization, establishing GIS-based property databases and automated accounting/billing systems to improve property tax collection, which has significantly increased revenues. Moving forward, efforts are needed to standardize and harmonize property tax regimes across regions to ensure fairness and further boost revenues for local services.

The document discusses urbanization trends in India and proposes a plan for ensuring world-class civic amenities. It notes that 590 million people will live in cities by 2030, nearly twice the current US population. It proposes a governance model where the government, private sector, and academia work together under a Central Command Committee. A national urban institute would provide technical expertise and policies to municipalities. A web service would help manage civic issues, track progress, and increase transparency and citizen participation. The plan aims to facilitate systematic, long-term urban planning across all city sizes in India.
India’s urban population is currently around 30% of its total population. Experience across the world has been that as economies grow, rapid urbanization takes this proportion to over 60% before it begins to stabilize. As such, it is projected that India’s urban population would grow to about 473 million in 2021 and 820 million by 2051, as against only 285 million in 2001. Hence, cities must not only meet the mobility needs of the current population but also provide for the needs of those yet to join the urban population.
Hanoi is investing in e-mobility solutions like shared e-scooters to address traffic issues caused by the city's 5 million daily motorcycles. A demonstration project will deploy shared e-scooters connecting public transit stations to important destinations to increase ridership. Hanoi recognizes stakeholder engagement is critical to the success of this project. It is establishing relationships with diverse stakeholders and using various communication strategies like surveys and meetings to understand needs, monitor the project, and encourage use of sustainable transit options. The role of ongoing communication with residents, businesses, and other partners is seen as key to strengthening partnerships and facilitating the transition to low-carbon mobility in Hanoi.
This document provides information about several cities and their policies regarding inclusive services. It summarizes data about cities like Johannesburg, Durban, Freetown, and Edmonton related to population demographics, education, politics, economics, and issues they face. It also describes some of the strategies and policies these cities have implemented related to areas like youth, drugs, housing, employment, women, seniors and disabilities to promote more inclusive services for their residents.
The document summarizes several case studies of integrated policy projects around the world that address multiple challenges simultaneously through cross-sector collaboration:
1) In Medellin, Colombia, "Integral Urban Projects" improved quality of life, reduced violence, and enhanced public spaces by collaborating across city departments, academics, and businesses.
2) In Linköping, Sweden, an organization coordinates waste-to-energy conversion of agricultural and slaughterhouse waste to fuel the city's public transport system through partnerships between farmers, abattoirs, and the city.
3) In Sao Paulo, Brazil, an NGO promotes urban agriculture in poor neighborhoods to improve food security, jobs, health, green spaces, waste

1) Perceptions that the level of corruption has increased and that efforts to fight corruption are becoming less effective.
2) Political corruption is emerging as a strong concern, with three of the top five most corrupt institutions being political bodies.
3) Introduction of new technologies to reduce corruption is seen as the most important and effective new anti-corruption initiative.
4) Lack of transparency in high levels of government and the merger of business and political interests are seen as leading causes of grand corruption.
The Asia Foundation is helping countries in Asia meet the governance challenges of rapid urbanization through programming focused on equitable access to services, revenue generation, and urban resilience. It works with governments and civil society to improve service delivery, strengthen citizen engagement, increase revenue sources, and enhance disaster preparedness.

This document provides an overview of Mongolia's business environment and regulatory framework according to the World Bank's Doing Business 2015 report. Some key points:
- Mongolia ranked 72nd overall out of 189 economies on the ease of doing business. This was a decline of 2 places compared to the previous year.
- Mongolia scored 65.02 on the distance to frontier measure, which benchmarks economies against global best practices. This was a slight improvement of 0.67 points over the previous year.
- Mongolia performed best in getting credit (25th) and protecting minority investors (39th). It performed worst in paying taxes (157th) and dealing with construction permits (150th).
Mongolia's economic growth slowed to 4.4% in Q1 2015 due to contractions in investment and final consumption. Mining GDP growth softened to 13.8% due to slowing production, while non-mining GDP growth dropped to 1.5% as wholesale and retail sectors contracted. Inflation continued moderating while the unemployment rate declined despite the slowing economy. However, the quality of employment deteriorated as informal sector jobs increased. Mongolia's current account deficit widened in April as exports declined, while the capital and financial account recorded an outflow. Gross international reserves declined but rebounded in May due to new external borrowing.
1. Unemployment in Mongolia increased to 33.9 thousand in April 2015, up 1.2 thousand from the previous year. The labor force participation rate was 61.5% in the first quarter of 2015.
2. Household average monthly income increased to 941.5 thousand tugriks in the first quarter of 2015, up 6.4% from the previous year. However, average monthly expenditures also rose, increasing 9.3% to 963.3 thousand tugriks.
3. Registered crimes in Mongolia rose 14.6% to 10,451 in the first four months of 2015 compared to the same period in the previous year, with increases in several categories of

Oyu tolgoi underground mine developing and financing plan may 18.2015Serod Ichinkhorloo
The document outlines a plan for developing and financing the underground mine at the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project in Mongolia. Key points include:
- The plan was agreed to by the Government of Mongolia, Erdenes Oyu Tolgoi LLC, Turquoise Hill Resources, Rio Tinto, and Oyu Tolgoi LLC.
- It provides estimates of spending within Mongolia over the project lifetime, including on operating costs, underground construction, and payments to the Government. Total estimated domestic Mongolian expenditures are in the billions.
- The plan supports Oyu Tolgoi LLC prioritizing the purchase of Mongolian services, equipment, materials and supplies when available on
- Foreign direct investment into Mongolia has declined sharply since 2011, falling 85% between 2011 and early 2015, largely due to government policy decisions negatively impacting investors and lower global commodity prices.
- In late 2014, a new government took power promising to focus on restoring foreign investment by implementing business-friendly policies and moving forward with two major mining projects.
- In May 2015, the government signed an agreement for the development of the underground phase of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, signaling a potential shift toward more supportive policies for foreign investment. However, investors remain cautious and will monitor how new policies are implemented more broadly.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been Mongolia’s largest multilateral development partner since 1991. ADB has provided Mongolia with $1.6 billion in total resources, including loans, grants, and technical assistance projects. Currently, ADB's portfolio in Mongolia consists of 18 loans worth $544 million, 9 grants worth $129 million, and 30 technical assistance projects worth $25 million. ADB assistance focuses on sectors like transport, water and sanitation, agriculture, and energy to support Mongolia's economic development and diversification.
Industrial production and economic growth in Mongolia continued to slow in the first quarter of 2015, with mining and electricity production experiencing weaker growth compared to previous periods. Exports also declined significantly in February and March due to falling commodity prices, worsening the current account balance. Deteriorating asset quality and tighter credit conditions in the banking sector added pressure to the economy.

1. Urban Governance
Asia is urbanizing rapidly; in just five years, half of Asia’s population will live in cities. The governance
challenges accompanying this shift are enormous, including the need to provide services to a growing
population, generate revenue to address citizens’ needs, and create a resilient urban system that can
mitigate the effects of climate change and natural disasters. The Asia Foundation is helping countries to
meet these challenges through urban governance programming in three strategic areas: equitable
access to services; revenue generation; and urban resilience.
In recognition of the key role that cities play in
Asia’s development, The Asia Foundation estab-
lished the Urban Governance Initiative in April
2014. Economic growth in Asia is led by cities,
and yet challenges associated with rapid urbaniza-
tion, including congestion and corruption, have
the power to curb this growth. Good municipal
governance is an essential element in supporting
inclusive and sustainable development.
The Urban Governance Initiative builds on 60 years
of work by the Foundation in local and municipal
governance, politically informed approaches to
programming, and urban resilience. The Founda-
tion uses a collaborative approach to improve the
governance of cities through the concurrent engage-
ment of government and civil society: we help
urban residents advocate for their needs and support
municipal and national governments to recognize
and provide for those needs.
The Foundation’s Urban Governance Initiative
focuses on three key programming areas:
1. Equitable access to public services, to help cities
to meet the needs of their residents in an inclusive
and participatory manner; 2. Revenue generation,
to help cities raise revenue to meet the demands on
infrastructure and public services associated with
a growing population; and; 3. Urban resilience, to
enable cities prepare for climate change and natural
disasters through effective planning.
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO PUBLIC SERVICES
As cities grow in population and wealth, the
burden on services increases. Local governments
and municipal service providers can be ill equipped
to work with residents and civil society organiza-
tions to meet this growing demand in an inclusive
fashion. To ensure more equitable distribution of
resources in cities, the Foundation develops collab-
orative approaches between citizens and municipal
governments, and invests to build new capacity
and political will to reform outdated practices. In
Mongolia, Cambodia, and the Philippines, the
Foundation works with city governments to reform
and modernize their service delivery systems. This
includes engaging poor and marginalized citi-
zens in planning processes to better understand
their needs and the most appropriate delivery
mechanisms for providing essential services. Where
appropriate, Information and Communications
Technology for Development (ICT4D) approaches
are used to help citizens define and express their
needs. ICT4D also helps government better under-
stand and respond to these needs

3. REVENUE GENERATION
Municipal governments are often unprepared for
the increased demands and complex needs of a
growing population. City governments can strug-
gle with equitable service delivery, employment
generation, and sustainable economic develop-
ment. A significant challenge is cities’ reliance on
central government transfers, which can fluctuate.
Asia Foundation programs in countries such as
Sri Lanka help cities to increase their capacity to
generate their own revenue streams. This enables
municipal governments to better serve current resi-
dents, while planning more effectively for urban
growth.
URBAN RESILIENCE
People are increasingly concentrating in urban
environments that are vulnerable to natural disas-
ters and exposed to climate change hazards such as
sea-level rise and flooding. Those who lack secure
land tenure are particularly vulnerable, as informal
settlement areas are among the most precarious
and exposed to climate change hazards. New
approaches to resettlement, land-use planning,
and economic growth that bolster urban resilience
are necessary. The Foundation works with citizens,
government, and the private sector to conduct
multi-stakeholder dialogues around environmen-
tal hazards and to facilitate the development of
workable policies and plans. In countries such as
Vietnam and the Philippines, the Foundation
is working directly with communities and munici-
pal governments to forge joint disaster risk
management plans.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
INDIA: MY CITY
The Foundation’s India office has been working
with local partner CUTS to improve the quality
of services provided by urban government and en-
hance citizens’ engagement with municipal coun-
cilors in selected wards of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Under
the project, CUTS developed a Public Services
Index (PSI) to generate ward-level report cards of
urban services provided by the Jaipur Municipal
Corporation in 16 wards across the city. Citizen
report cards were also utilized to gather feedback
from citizens on the status and quality of services.
Additionally, community meetings with service
providers were organized to resolve specific urban
service delivery issues. CUTS is also now work-
ing to develop a first of its kind forum for mayors
in the state of Rajasthan to share experiences and
discuss issues and challenges in urban governance.
VIETNAM: DISASTER RISK
MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE
While most disaster risk management (DRM) pro-
grams focus on building government capacity or
reducing risks to vulnerable populations, The Asia
Foundation’s Vietnam office is collaborating with
the private sector to harness their networks, out-
reach, and resources in support of urban resilience.
This unique DRM program has trained more than
2,000 managers and CEOs representing roughly
900 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in 19
provinces on disaster risk management. The project
develops a broader DRM-focused corporate social
responsibility dialogue and best practice guidance
on philanthropic giving related to natural disasters
and community resilience, while disseminating
best disaster response practices of companies and
local communities as the basis for sustainable
public-private efforts over the long term. Research
on public private partnerships, risk assessment, and
business continuity planning as tools in institu-
tionalizing DRM. The Foundation is currently
in the process of scaling this project regionally in
South and Southeast Asia.
MONGOLIA: IMPROVING URBAN
SERVICES INTHE GER DISTRICTS
The Asia Foundation has been working in part-
nership with the city government of Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia to improve urban governance and service
delivery in the ger areas—large unplanned settle-
ments characterized by traditional nomadic homes
(gers), limited infrastructure, poor sanitation, and
a high proportion of the city’s poor residents. This
work has included a first-ever community mapping
process that used local volunteers to gather informa-
tion about service delivery in 11 ger khoroos (sub-
districts). When analysis from the initial pilot was
presented at a high-level event with City Leadership
early in 2013, the Mayor directly requested that
the process be scaled up to map services across all
ger area communities, 87 khoroos with more than
700,000 residents. The city contributed significant
human resources to the project, more than 70 city
administration staff participated in the data col-
lection process, and the Foundation managed data
entry, analysis, and production of the final maps.
Community maps have resulted in more informed
budget allocations: the city used the community
maps to facilitate its first participatory budget-
ing sessions in November 2013, and the mayor
has since committed to using them for targeting
improvements at the local level to avoid duplication
and to help address critical needs of citizens.
