Urban governance
SMC in the recent past has taken a number of steps for the development of urban infrastructure and have tried to rope in some organizations for such work here.
Recently LG Manoj Sinha underlined the need to create smart solutions, smart platforms to form a link between the public and policies to make the process of rapid change a reflection of the needs & aspirations of the people and develop a new self-understanding.
Reforms introduced by the government in urban governance aim to provide much-needed human & financial resources for improving basic services like drinking water, health care, sanitation, housing and better quality of living in the cities.
There is going to be a massive urban transformation in the cities in the coming future, which will improve the standard of living and will also attract new capital investment.
We have to overcome a few challenges while we are developing our cities into smart ones. We must formulate policies & programs to eliminate social inequality; extend benefits of development to all sections of the society; eliminate the role of multiple agencies; strengthen Municipal Corporations and accelerate local economic development to improve the quality of life in the cities, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha recently said while being at the function of SMC to sign MoU for urban development.
