STRATEGIC INPUTS TO SHAPE THE RESILIENT PUNE PROCESS
• The Steering Committee to be made more representative by including more senior individuals from academia, industry, corporate sectors and government
• The initiative to reach a wider citizen group, including the city’s youth, women and vulnerable groups; by making resilience tangible and understanding “what’s in it for them”.
• To deliver short and medium term wins before the strategy roll-out, by creating three, six and twelve months goals/ pilots.
OPPORTUNITY AREAS TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR RESILIENT PUNE
• To set up a Resilient Pune Laboratory/ Citizen Lab to kick-start pilot projects for a DO-LEARN-DO approach and build confidence in the citizens by “you said it, we did it”
• To support in deepening the understanding of the following across comparable cities and relevance to the larger Pune region-
o Land monetization and development instruments like value capture finance
o Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA)
o Municipal financing
KEY INSIGHTS FROM THE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERSInputs from the Steering Committee members on preliminary findings presented by the CRO and the project process
“How do we take climate
infrastructure and build social
capital?”
“By solving for just today’s
problems we will lose the
opportunities of tomorrow. “

LIVING LABORATORY(February 15, 2018)
LIVING LABORATORY (1/2)
*JNNURM - Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, **NMT – Non Motorized Transport
PUBLIC BICYCLE SHARING, AUNDH
Key takeaways- The Happy Streets movement in Pune and
across the country, where citizens reclaim streets and public spaces, laid the groundwork for public support of the city’s street improvement and NMT** projects
- Dock-based bike share and rental systems have been implemented in various city transportation systems, but they have been impacted by a shortage of reliable docks, expensive equipment, and inefficient operations
- Hence, Pune Public Bicycle Sharing program chose to go dockless with durable, brightly coloured bikes, provided by private vendors, that work on QR codes and e-payments
PASHAN LAKE
Key takeaways- Lake restoration project carried out under
JNNURM* faces operations and maintenance challenges after the funding ended;
- Focus on financial sustainability of other on-going large scale projects like that of Mula-Mutha Rejuvenation – opportunity to innovate
- Restoration also highlights challenges due to the lack of a singular body mandated to undertake holistic environmental decision-making in Pune. Could be one of the key areas for investigation for Resilient Pune.
LIVING LABORATORY (2/2)
MULA-MUTHA RIVER
Key takeaways- The Mula-Mutha River Rejuvenation Project is
a significant opportunity for Resilient Pune, which can assist in and influence it’s development process
- Resilient Pune can support the river to realise its role in providing ecosystem services such as flood management, species habitat, etc. as well as recreation opportunities to the city
- The CRO’s office can access the100RC network for comparable river rejuvenation projects and harness expertise (ranging from ecological sciences to infrastructure financing) to inform the development of the Mula-Mutha project.
LIGHTHOUSE, AUNDH
Key takeaways- A Pune City Connect initiative, the
‘lighthouses’ across Pune (target of one per ward) tell stories of personal resilience of the most vulnerable youth of the city, while empowering them with skills and confidence to enter the workforce stream of their choice.
- Successful example of private sector and local government working together – a potential blueprint for future Resilient Pune initiatives.
APPENDIX : MEETING NOTES FROM STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION (1/3)
MICHAEL BERKOWITZ: • We want to learn from Pune about how you do urbanization. Cities across the world source ideas from others that have
shared struggles and shared issues. • How do we take climate infrastructure and build social capital. Build stronger communities and stronger businesses.• We need to do development in an integrated manner. This is the revolution. Integrated working is the revolution, even if it
is not efficient in the short term, it is efficient in the long-term. We need to break down silos to get to higher resilient dividend.
• Communities trust institutions. The more inclusive cities are, the more successful they are in times of shock. We would not have had the Arab Spring if those cities were inclusive.
• Detroit, one of the biggest economies in America, was driven by just one sector and thus collapsed.• 3D printing is going to have a huge impact on the shipping industry. On how we produce goods and transport them. We
need to think about the impact this is going to make on cities like Rotterdam and Panama City.• New Orleans is a city that is largely dependent on the petro-chemical industry while also being very vulnerable to climate
change. A study lead by Tulane University and other partners discovered that the jobs in the petro chemical sector look a lot like those needed in water management. How do we think and facilitate these transitions?
KUNAL KUMAR:• The Steering committee needs to be augmented with representation from academia, industry, corporate and top
government officials. • The strategy will take a year, but in the meanwhile how do we engage the larger citizen body and begin with pilots
immediately instead of waiting for the final report to come out? Let us focus on phased deliverables - 3 months, 6 months and 1 year, beyond the strategy document.
• Technology will help us leapfrog into many areas. How do we use behavioral psychology?• We need to leverage economic incentives and disincentives to bring about the behavior change we desire. For example-
use high parking charges to move people away from cars. • River rejuvenation needs innovative financing. How do use levers like value capture finance and others to do this?• 98% of Pune’s budget is met by its own revenue. An assets report by Janagraha is a good resource for deeper
understanding of municipal finance and governance.
KIRAN GITTE: • This is the right time to support PMRDA. Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR) is the third largest metropolitan region in the
country. There are a number of efforts (listed below) that Resilient Pune can plug into. o Mobility is a major concern. PMRDA has consultants on board to carry out a Comprehensive Traffic and
Transportation Study. o PMRDA in partnership with Government of Singapore, is preparing a masterplan for PMR. The Environmental
Action Plan within this intends to go beyond compliance, towards proactive planning. o Affordable Housingo TP Schemes, especially along the new ring road.o UMTA- will be set up in the next 1 year.o Land monetization (which will be a major source of revenue for PMRDA).
GANESH NATARAJAN: • We need to address the problem of jobs. Manufacturing jobs will go away with automation. Are people resilient enough
to make this transition? If we just solve for today’s problems, we will miss out on the opportunities of tomorrow. • How do we look at jobs within Resilient Pune, not just as a vertical but as a cross-sectional challenge?• The artificial intelligence center in Chennai is working on what jobs will be eliminated, new jobs that will emerge and what
are the skills that we need to build out on and empower our citizens.
PRASHANT GIRBHANE:• Collective buy-in takes longer than what we aspire for.• Pune International Center resources - ‘Making Pune Smarter’, ‘Making Pune Maximum Solar City’, research on e-waste
taken forward by cabinet ministers, assessments on the skills and jobs of the future, etc.
MAHESH HARHARE:• Our efforts from the onset have been to involve and forge partnerships with key organizations and individuals. Within the
PMC too, our strategy has been to identify key nodal officers who can help shape the process from inception and become champions. Being embedded within the PMC has made this easier and is reflected from the early buy-ins we have.
APPENDIX : MEETING NOTES FROM STEERING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION (2/3)
MICHAEL BERKOWITZ :• Funders want to invest in big projects. 100RC started the Urban Resilience Infrastructure Fund with USD 500 Million. • Good policy tools must be used as levers. In Singapore, if a developer builds new green space, then ze gets additional FAR.
Land value capture is another good tool and a big focus for the World Bank Group too.• 100RC has some platform partners that can help with citizen engagement (example- Neighborland) and can also support
piloting tactical urbanism projects. • Resilient Pune could create feed back loops for citizen engagement, both at project and citywide levels, by piloting what is
important to them- “ You said it, we did it” approach to win confidence.
DCP TRAFFIC:• Vehicular population is greater than people population in Pune and citizens need to understand this when they speak of
traffic congestion.• We need to harness technology to improve traffic management- signal synchronization, etc. • Deep need for a mindset change of signal vehicle for single person. Therefor awareness plus enforcement together can
address the problem
SAURABH GAIDHANI:• We want to use this as a platform to bring in experiences of other network cities. For example what can Pune Cycle plan
learn from Mexico City’s? • How do we be tactical, put resilience on the ground and make this valuable for all Punekars? This is the journey we strive
for. I hope we all play our parts and support Mahesh and PMC. VARAD PANDE:• Resilient Pune is a very timely initiative and we should think about how we can influence the PMRDA masterplan.• Technology can also be harnessed for behavioral change through nudges, etc. • Can we also think about citizen lab.• Urban governance is another important issue. Pune is exemplar at revenue raising compared to other ULBS. What is a
resource mobilization question that the city would like to learn from other cities in the network?JEENAL SAWLA:• One of the ways in which we are thinking about engaging the grassroots youth leaders is to see how a resilience
framework can be added to the work that they care about, in tangible ways that they can understand, to almost create like a ‘ Resilience Army’ for Pune.
