The Jakarta Waterfront City Development is a mission to revitalize and develop the waterfront of Jakarta and to resume its place as the front door to the city and the nation. To support this development, the government of Indonesia has issued the Presidential Decree (KEPRES) which designated the boundaries of the waterfront area and established the Jakarta Waterfront Implementation Board. The waterfront city which covers an area of approximately 5000 ha.,2700 ha of which will come from land reclamation, will be developed through some stages and by cooperation between the government public and private sectors.

The 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.

The rapid pace of urbanization and the deterioration of the environment in many areas requires effective legislation aimed at promoting the maintenance and creation of a high quality environment, both built-in and bio-physical. The functioning of the environment is better understood today and there is an ethics and dedication to environmental protection in the ranks of urban and regional planners to the growth. The task of protecting the environment is only contained in one article in the Land Use Planning Ordinance, but it is further explained in the 'Structural Planning Manual'. In essence, there is little difference with the Old Town Ordinance. Successful environmental protection, therefore, is not in the legislation itself, but in the way it is applied. Unfortunately, there is some degree of overlap in the responsibilities of different government departments in this regard.A distinction must be made between the outdated concept of preservation versus the dynamic concept of conservation. Preservation tries to keep human beings out of nature while conserving constructive symbiosis between man and his environment. In the application of the Ordinance, not only should we look at two-dimensional spatial planning, but to location creation that will integrate the interdependence of man and his environment. Environmental impact assessment is essential as part of the planning process, but it should not be mandated by legislation, because then the studies will become an end in itself. Persons from relevant disciplines, especially biophysics, designers and holists, must be part of the planning team (from the start of the planning process), but city planners who know the full extent of the process must take the lead. The authorities responsible for drafting and approving structural plans should give more clarity about the environmental expectations from the plans. However, we must guard against Long Marks, such as those given in the 'Manual', as it leads to excessive descriptive planning reports that are of no use. More importantly, the planning process establishes functional norms that measure the current environment and expected impact.
This report, City Development Strategy for Can Tho, was completed to portray the long term development strategy for the city of Can Tho in the Republic of Vietnam. The report states that within the next 20 years, Can Tho city will be a dynamic development for the whole Mekong Delta Region. As a centerpiece of the Mekong delta region, the southern part of Vietnam and the adjacent international regions. Can Tho will be a typical riverside city with a multi-center city system. It has the potential to become a center of hi-tech industry, trading, service and tourism; science and technology, healthcare and education-training, as well as a communication center for the entire Mekong delta.
This publication, City Development Strategies to Reduce Poverty, sets out the results of the technical assistance, including guidelines for the preparation of CDS and CWS programs, and summaries of case studies on the CDS and CWS approaches adopted by five cities in three countries. Each participating city faces difficulties in providing land security, infrastructure, and basic services to the poor. The case studies show that there is more than one way to prepare CDS and CWS programs. The case studies also suggest that, for cities to benefit from their comparative advantages, they must become more efficient, govern well, and establish coherent poverty reduction programs. The guidelines, case studies, and institutional arrangements for the preparation and implementation of CDS and CWS programs are intended as a source of learning about city development. It is hoped that this publication will contribute to good governance, successful management, and continuing development of towns and cities in the region.

The continuing rapid growth and development of China's cities brings many complex challenges. Tasked with supporting strong economic development that provides jobs and a good quality of life for its growing number of residents, China's cities also must ensure sustainable development in line with national efforts to transition to a less carbon-intensive economy, as outlined in China's 12th Five-Year Plan. Sustainable Low-Carbon City Development in China summarizes, through the specific lens of low-carbon development, the lessons of the World Bank's activities related to sustainable urban development in China. The various chapters present overall approaches and achievements in low-carbon city developments and highlight specific experiences across all urban sectors, including energy, transport, solid waste, water, and waste water. The book also explores cities' role in climate adaptation and opportunities presented by carbon finance and other global mechanisms to finance low-carbon city development.The World Bank project data and experience combined with the national and international experience presented in this edited book deliver both a broad picture and actionable steps for China's urban development. The chapters argue that China's cities not only need to, but also have an opportunity and the ability to integrate sustainable low-carbon development in their urban development. Low-carbon efforts align closely with the sustainable urbanization agenda and the book points to multiple benefits, such as improved air quality and urban livability, that can be derived from implementing this urgent agenda. The intended audience of this edited book is government officials of municipalities, cities, and townships in China who will be defining policies and programs to achieve the targets of economic growth and carbon emission reductions emerging from the 12th
