Abstract
Sustainability of Urban Renewal Projects: Lessons from Bhaktapur and Bandipur Projects
Highlights
Urban renewal is a new idea for the many developing countries around the world and yet to be put into practice
The immense size of the project and no flexibility from the German consulting firm (System firm) and GTZ headquarters has caused the project experts to jump into the project to meet the deadline, undermining the component of public participation
Public participation existed in form of one- way communication from the project towards the public through motivation and information campaign related to health, hygiene and sanitation
Summary
Urban renewal is a new idea for the many developing countries around the world and yet to be put into practice. The term ‘urban renewal’ is dynamic as it evolves in accordance to change in the city and its economy It is an intervention (of varying degrees) to reverse the trend of decay and decline is a city or town. In 1990’s the urban renewal process became more integrated, integrating physical, economic and social aspects This was called integrated urban renewal, which is area-based and it shows that complex interventions are required to renew a city [12]. The horizontal policies need to be put forward along with the area-based interventions to address the problem in a better way. The urban renewal policies and programme to deal with each city varies due to different problems, contexts, needs and changes in diverse and complex Indian society. In the light of above views, for an optimum scenario both area-based and horizontal policy interventions would be required to renew an area and these interventions should be decided within the framework of urban renewal strategy considering the complete urban area.The urban renewal plan and policies have to be based on the different needs and context of an area,city or town
