With well-defined, effective, community-based land development control measures, many land-related issues can be addressed and the required space for basic services can be achieved. This will improve the quality of life of the people in urban areas and reduce the negative impacts on the natural environment and on human health. No uniform policy at the provincial level can suit all circumstances, since the socio-economic context varies from one region to another in the province. Nevertheless, an effort should be made to develop an urban land policy for the NWFP based on new initiatives such as charges for services, land improvement taxes, and public-sector participation in land acquisition and development. The urban development institutions should prepare long-term development plans based on rational land use patterns and the introduction of development planning controls in urban areas. 10.9 C O M M I T M E N T S In the next three years, a commitment is made to: ■ clearly define roles and responsibilities and areas of jurisdiction of various departments for urban environmental management; ■ establish urban environment committees in each city, including representatives of all concerned organizations and of citizens; ■ create an urban archive to keep better land records; ■ do management reviews of city administrations and organizations dealing with urban environment and undertake an institution-strengthening programme; ■ subject all development projects approvals to an environmental impact assessment; ■ revive and support local Government institutions to raise funds to address environmental problems, especially solid waste disposal, sewerage, and the supply of clean drinking water; ■ enforce existing available laws regarding environment protection, with deterrent penalties; 120 SARHAD PROVINCIAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY ■ train staff of various urban institutions, with the help of educational institutions, in urban environmental management; ■ review/amend Urban Planning Ordinance, 1978 to provide more legal power to urban authorities; ■ approve and implement the already prepared development plans for seven cities by the respective urban institutions; ■ prepare and implement more infrastructure improvement programmes for service-deficient areas in cities and towns; ■ prepare infrastructure improvement and economic development programmes for secondary and small towns; ■ include land use planning and zoning regulations in the proposed new environmental legislation; ■ facilitate the development of vehicular tuning stations in the private sector; ■ assess the feasibility of a mass transport system for Peshawar, including the option of reactivating the Peshawar-Hayatabad railway; ■ introduce lead-free fuel and catalytic converters technology for vehicles; ■ develop and implement transport plans in each city; ■ ban pressure horns and the misuse of loud speakers in public places; ■ initiate programmes for the greening of open spaces and for urban forestry; ■ promote cleaner brick kiln technology introduced under a German development agency (GTZ) support project; ■ consider shifting the Peshawar Airport outside the residential area; ■ complete implementation of the SUDP; ■ put the World Bank Community Infrastructure Project (CIP) into operation; ■ increase the availability of clean and waste water treatment in the urban areas; ■ based on experience with the SUDP action plan for Peshawar, undertake similar programmes for waste disposal in other towns; ■ protect water bodies such as the Kabul River from pollutants; ■ carry out studies on water quality and quantity, and on the solid waste generation rate; ■ initiate programmes for handling special waste;
■ assess the feasibility of dividing Peshawar into two or more municipal administrative units; ■ implement the GTZ project for improvement of the urban environment in Peshawar; ■ implement an action plan for solid waste management for Peshawar; ■ arrange to improve the potable water quality and distribution network in urban areas; and ■ approve and implement the development planning control system already prepared for P e s h a w a r . Over the long-term, a commitment is made to: ■ study and privatize the solid waste collection and disposal systems for Peshawar; U R B A N E N V I R O N M E N T S & S U S T A I N A B L E C I T I E S 10 ■ review the implementation of the SUDP and the CIP: ■ conceive and implement a third urban project, and continue implementation of the CIP; ■ implement the action plan for relocation of industries located in residential areas; ■ improve implementation of traffic management and transport plans; ■ implement the programme for a mass transport system for Peshawar; ■ continue the institution-strengthening programmes; and ■ implement urban improvement and economic development programmes in smaller cities.
