Municipal Council of Colombo2014-06-232014-06-232000-11https://hdl.handle.net/10986/18724The Colombo Municipal Council (CMC), in collaboration with the World Bank, UNDP, UNCHS (HABITAT) and the Western Provincial Council (WPC) in Sri Lanka, launched a project in February 2000 to formulate a comprehensive strategy framework and a perspective plan of action for development of the city. The purpose was to identify key areas and issues that need systemic and planned attention of the Council and other major stakeholders and to develop appropriate strategies to address them. A Senior Consultant was assigned to the CMC by the sponsors to help formulate the strategy through a consultative process. In formulating the strategy framework, the CMC consulted a wide variety of stakeholder groups through a series of formal and informal consultations. They included civil society partners such as NGOs and CBOs, representatives of the poor; senior municipal officials; and leading private sector representatives, i.e., major investors, realtors, developers and Chambers of Commerce & Industry. Their views, ideas and suggestions were reviewed and those compatible with the development vision and thrust identified by the CMC task forces and stakeholder consultations are incorporated in this strategy framework. All stakeholders, particularly the private sector, considered the opportunity as an unprecedented move by the CMC and WPC. They welcomed the offer to join in this unique partnership-building exercise in city management and have assured the city administration of their wholehearted cooperation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYACCOUNTABILITYADDICTIONAIRASSETSBRIDGEBUSINESS COMMUNITYCITIESCITY ADMINISTRATIONCITY ASSISTANCECITY CONGESTIONCITY DEVELOPMENTCITY DEVELOPMENT PROCESSCITY ECONOMIESCITY ENVIRONMENTCITY LIMITSCITY MANAGEMENTCITY PLANNERSCITY PLANNINGCITY POLICECITY POPULATIONCITY PRODUCTIVITYCITY REVENUECITY ROADSCOLLATERALCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUTERSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECRIMECULTURAL HERITAGEDAY CAREDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIESDEVOLUTIONDIVIDENDSDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERECONOMIC CAPACITYECONOMIC CLIMATEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICYECONOMIC GROWTHEFFECTIVE STRATEGYEMISSIONSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTEXERCISESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFLOOR AREAFOOD STORAGEFUELGARBAGE COLLECTIONGAS EMISSIONSGOOD URBAN GOVERNANCEHEALTH CAREHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH SERVICESHERITAGE AREASHERITAGE SITESHIGHWAYSHOSPITALSHOUSINGHOUSING DEVELOPMENTHUMAN GROWTHHUMAN SETTLEMENTSHYGIENEILLEGAL PARKINGINDUSTRIAL EXPANSIONINDUSTRIAL FACILITIESINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONALIZATIONINTERVENTIONLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND RECLAMATIONLAND RESOURCESLAND USELAND USE STRATEGIESLAWSLEGAL AUTHORITYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL ADMINISTRATIONLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT STRUCTURELOCAL GOVERNMENTSLONGER DISTANCESMAYORSMOTOR VEHICLESMUNICIPALMUNICIPAL BONDSMUNICIPAL COUNCILSMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENTMUNICIPAL ENGINEERMUNICIPAL FINANCEMUNICIPAL REVENUEMUNICIPALITIESOILPATIENTSPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTPOLICEPOLICE POWERSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLLUTIONPOPULATION DENSITYPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY TAXESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC PARTNERSHIPSPUBLIC SECTOR INFRASTRUCTUREQUALITY OF LIFERAILRAILROADRAILWAYRAILWAYSREBATESRECYCLINGRING ROADSROADROAD ACCIDENTSROAD CONDITIONSROAD CONGESTIONROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD TRANSPORTROADSSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSECURITY OF TENURESERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE QUALITYSERVICE SECTORSERVICE STANDARDSSEWAGESEWERAGESEWERAGE SERVICESSLUMSSOCIAL ACTIVITIESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL INTEGRATIONSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL MARKETINGSOCIAL MOBILIZATIONSOCIAL PLANNINGSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIESSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECTORSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE DISPOSALSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSTAKEHOLDER GROUPSSTAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATIONSTAKEHOLDERSSUB-DIVISION REGULATIONSSUSTAINABLE CITIESTAXTOLLTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT MANAGEMENTTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRUEUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN ENVIRONMENTURBAN GOVERNANCEURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN LIVINGURBAN MANAGEMENTURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYURBAN POVERTY REDUCTIONURBAN RENEWALURBAN SERVICESURBANIZATIONURBANIZATION PROCESSUTILITIESVEHICLEVEHICLE SPEEDVIOLENCEVOCATIONAL TRAININGWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWATER DRAINAGEWATER METERSWATER SUPPLYWATER TREATMENTWEALTHWORK PLANS10.1596/18724
