Sustainable Habitats in India III - Final Report
Sustainable Habitats III - 05.-23.09.2011 in Pune, Mysore Bangalore and Kochi
After two GIZ-DAAD Summer Schools in 2009 and 2010, Sustainable Habitats III was the 3rd Summer School in India and the 8th within this methodological framework after Vietnam (2), Egypt, Brazil and Peru (Andean Countries).
This Summer School again focused on common learning and strengthening the dialogue between researchers, development practitioners and policy makers concerning sustainable urban development. The GIZ-DAAD-BVIEER Summer School 2011 aimed at introducing
about 30 participants from all over India, Germany, Iran and Egypt to the concept of sustainable habitats, its approaches and implementation in India.
As final product, the summer school participants produced the attached report which summarizes the research process and the findings of the 3‐weeks program.
We started our research by investigating the potential of JNNURM--‐projects to improve the quality of life in Indian cities. The reader of the report will find out though that in terms of sustainable development, JNNURM--‐projects are not in the focus of the institutions and concerned stakeholders.
Instead, by looking at three different examples: sanitation problems in the pilgrimage town ‘Alandi’, integrated solid waste management in Kochi and various aspects of urban sustainability in Mysore, we found conflicting policies, at most best practices and scattered pilot projects.
This led us to an investigation at different levels regarding policy‐, governance- and implementation-strategies to find opportunities for holistic approaches towards urban Final_Report_2011.pdf sustainability in India. This was only possible by fruitful co-operations with local partner-organizations, which are being introduced more detailed in our report.
We hope to contribute with our work to meaningful discussions on Indian cities on their way towards sustainable development.
