The development objective of this program is to test an inclusive heritage-based approach to city development planning in three pilot cities with a focus on learning and future expansion. The pilot cities include a metropolis (Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh), a medium-size city (Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) and a small city (Ajmer-Pushkar, Rajasthan). The pilot cities have been selected on the basis of population, living standards in historic areas, heritage value and reform orientation. These cities represent India s diversity in terms of settlements as well as social and cultural heritage, and provide scope for customizing the tested planning instruments, specific institutional and financial arrangements and methods at an early stage. An initial activity is the first phase of a larger program aimed at providing national policy makers, state governments, urban local bodies and sector professionals in India with exemplary practices, institutional arrangements as well as financial and management incentives that can assist them in incorporating cultural heritage into their overall city development planning framework. This activity has three components: component 1 offers institutional set-up and selection of pilot cities; component 2 provides advisory support to pilot Cities; and component 3 maintains knowledge management and learning systems. Overall, the program is expected to leverage existing public funds under national and state-level schemes that have been earmarked for urban renewal investments but are currently not being utilized for this purpose due to lack of capacities, appropriate mechanisms and tools.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTUREAIRANCIENT CITIESANCIENT HOUSESARCHAEOLOGICAL SITESARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEYARCHAEOLOGYARCHEOLOGICAL SITESARCHITECTARCHITECTURAL FEATURESARCHITECTUREARTISTSBASICBELIEFSBRIDGEBUDDHABUDDHIST TEMPLESBUILDING STANDARDSBUILT HERITAGEBUSBUS ROUTEBUS STATIONSCARCAR USECHURCHCHURCHESCITIESCITIES ALLIANCECITY AUTHORITIESCITY BOUNDARIESCITY DEVELOPMENTCITY MANAGEMENTCITY MANAGERSCITY OFFICIALSCITY PLANNINGCITY POPULATIONCLEANLINESSCOMMUNITIESCONGESTIONCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION COMMITTEECONSERVATION OF HERITAGECONSERVATION PROJECTCRAFTCRAFTSCULTURAL ACTIVITIESCULTURAL FEATURESCULTURAL HERITAGECULTURAL LANDSCAPECULTURAL LANDSCAPESCULTURAL PRACTICESCULTURAL RESOURCECULTURAL RESOURCESDANCEDEMOGRAPHIC CHANGEDEMOLITIONDESCRIPTIONDIVERSITYDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRAWINGSDRIVINGECO-TOURISMECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHENGINEERFAIRSFESTIVALFESTIVALSGARDENSGENDERGENTRIFICATIONGEOGRAPHYGREEN AREASGUIDED TOURHERITAGEHERITAGE AREAHERITAGE AREASHERITAGE ASSETSHERITAGE COMMITTEEHERITAGE CONSERVATIONHERITAGE DEVELOPMENTHERITAGE HOTELSHERITAGE INITIATIVESHERITAGE INVENTORIESHERITAGE LISTINGSHERITAGE MANAGEMENTHERITAGE MONUMENTSHERITAGE STATUSHERITAGE TRUSTHERITAGE VALUESHIGHWAYHISTORIC AREAHISTORIC AREASHISTORIC PROPERTIESHOTELHOTEL OWNERSHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHOUSING STOCKINFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADINGINHABITANTSINNER CITYINSCRIPTIONSINTANGIBLE HERITAGEINTERVENTIONSJEWELRYLAND USELAND USESLANDMARKSLANGUAGESLARGE CITIESLEARNINGLITERACYLITERATURELIVING CONDITIONSLIVING HERITAGELOCAL ARTISANSLOCAL CUISINELOCAL SKILLSMASS RAPID TRANSITMASTER PLANMETROPOLITAN CITIESMONUMENTSMOSQUEMOSQUESMUNICIPAL BUDGETSMUSEUMMUSEUMSMUSICMYTHSNARROW STREETSNATURAL AREASNEIGHBORHOODNEIGHBORHOODSNOISEOVERCROWDINGPAINTINGPALACEPALACESPERFORMING ARTSPOLICEPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOPULATION DENSITYPRESERVATIONPUBLIC UTILITIESPUBLIC WORKSQUALITY OF LIFERAILWAYRECREATIONAL ACTIVITIESRECREATIONAL AREASREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSREGULATORY MECHANISMSRELIGIOUS ACTIVITIESRELIGIOUS PLACESRESIDENCESRESIDENTIAL AREASRESTORATIONRING ROADRITUALSROADSROUTEROUTESSACRED SITESSAFETYSANITATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSEWERAGESHELTERSSHRINESSIDEWALKSSIGNAGESILVERSLUMSLUM AREASSLUM HOUSEHOLDSLUM POPULATIONSLUM RESIDENTSSLUM SETTLEMENTSSLUMSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL PRACTICESSOIL CONSERVATIONSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSPRAWLSTAKEHOLDERSSTREET FURNITURESTREET LIGHTINGSTREET VENDORSSTREETSSTREETSCAPESSUSTAINABLE CITYSUSTAINABLE TOURISMTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETEMPLETEMPLESTEXTILESTOURISM DEPARTMENTTOURISM DEVELOPMENTTOURISM INFORMATIONTOURISM POTENTIALTOURIST CITYTOURIST INFORMATIONTOURISTSTOURSTOWN DEVELOPMENTTOWN PLANNINGTRADITIONTRADITIONAL CRAFTTRADITIONAL FOODTRADITIONAL PRACTICESTRADITIONAL SKILLSTRADITIONSTRAFFICTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAILSTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION OF WASTETRAVEL TIMEUNDERGROUNDURBAN AGGLOMERATIONURBAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTURBAN DESIGNURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN GROWTHURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYURBAN PROFESSIONALSURBAN REGENERATIONURBAN RENEWALURBAN REVITALIZATIONURBAN TRANSPORTURBANIZATIONURBANIZATION PROCESSURBANIZED AREAUTILITIESWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWASTE MATERIALSWATER DRAINAGEWATER DRAINSWATER SOURCESWATER TREATMENTWEALTHWEAVINGWORLD HERITAGEWORLD HERITAGE SITESZONING10.1596/20800
