  5. Trends of Urbanization 2 Components of Urban Growth in Asia and the Pacific, 1990-2005 Rate of Urbanization in Asia and the Pacific, 1995-2030 Out of 33 world’s largest cities, 27 will be in this region by year 2015

  6. Solid Waste Municipal and industrial solid waste generation

  7. Solid Waste 2 Disposal methods

  8. Water and Sanitation Urban water and sanitation coverage Source: World Bank 1997

  9. Water and Sanitation 2 Water availability and water pollution

  10. Air Quality Ambient levels for TSP and SO2

  11. Air Quality 2 Ambient levels for NO2 and Regional Share of CO2

  12. Environmental Impact • Solid waste, including hazardous waste, is responsible for major health impacts. The water resources are being polluted and methane emissions contribute towards global warming. In various cities scattered waste creates havoc and accidents. • Water related diseases have a major impact on the quality and quantity of labor and on the health related costs. The pollution of water sources and saline due to intense water drawl rates are jeopardizing agricultural and industrial requirements, in addition to marine and aquatic losses, and leading towards huge economic losses. • There are enormous health and socioeconomic losses due to air pollution. For example, World Bank (1996) estimated that in Bangkok, Jakarta, and KL, the annual costs from dust and lead pollution were US$5 billion or about 10% of combined city income. Furthermore, only in Jakarta, 1,400 premature deaths, 49,000 emergency room visits, and 600,000 asthma attacks could be avoided annually, if particulate levels were to be brought down to WHO standards.

  13. Urban Environmental Management Policy Interventions Geographical Coverage Environmental Issues over Time

  14. Capacity for Urban Air Quality Management • Assessment of the problem (current or future)Pollution levels, sources, and the impact(Monitoring cause and effect analysis) • Planning and implementation of the responseIdentification of the responses (options)Prioritization of the options (short-term & long-term) Implementation of the options

  15. Social Capacity for Problem Assessment • Monitoring and prediction of of pollution/ambient levels (current or future)In-house capacityLinkages with private sector (Industries, etc.) and civil society (NGOs, Academia) • Cause and effect analysisPollution sources (Household, Transport, Industries, etc.)Health & productivity impact (morbidity and mortality)Socioeconomic impact (water sources, land values, visibility, maintenance costs, time savings, leisure, etc.)

  16. Local Capacity for the Response • Urban Planning • Institutions (formal and informal) • Regulatory standards and jurisdiction (CAC and MBIs) • Public Participation (policy making & implementation) • Financial mechanisms (decentralization, municipal bonds, revolving funds, public-private partnerships) • Appropriate technology

  17. Critical Path Analysis Challenges Necessary condition(s) Essential condition(s) • Zoning and land-use • Titling • Future growth Urban Planning Environmental Problem(water pollution/ scarcity, air pollution, solid waste, industrial pollution, etc) Sources(households, private sector, transport, energy, etc.) Impact(quantitative and qualitative) • Logical and suitable • Human resources • Jurisdiction & Implementation Regulations & Institutions • Public awareness • Information systems • Formal & Informal framework Public participation • Government & donor funding • Economic instruments (MBIs) • Public-private partnerships Financial Mechanisms • Monitoring • Production • Repair and maintenance Appropriate Technology

  26. Section - III Analysis

  27. Dhaka 1 Features: • Population and growth rate 6.61 million (5.52%) • Water and sanitation 80% and 44% • Solid waste management: Generation 4750 t/d Collection 50.3% Landfill 1540 t/d (Matualil) + 380 t/d (Mirpur) Illegal dumping 2400 t/d Recycling 140 t/d (at source) + 290 t/d (scavengers) Composting 2 t/d by Waste Concerns (NGO)

  28. Dhaka 2 Innovative Composting • Objective: To overcome conventional constraint of compost material, being used at small scale due to its quality and marketing beyond the generation limits • Methodology: • Agreement with Map Agro Ltd. BangladeshTo enrich the compost in accordance with the soil and crop demands and also to market throughout the country • Agreement with a local NGO (PROSHIKA) for organic farmingThis NGO buys the compost for organic farming and sells the products at three outlets in the city

  29. Dhaka 3 Lessons: • Urban Planning: Primary to final disposal sites and process • Regulatory: Regulations on solid waste management including hazardous and industrial waste • Institutional: Proper human and physical resources • Financial: Charge system (MBI) to promote proper waste disposal as well as to cover the costs. However, due to larger poor community, a good subsidy system (from other sources) could also be added to cover the costs • Public participation: Public participation in primary collection, including segregation for recycling and compost materials, is very important. Moreover, the awareness to share the costs for final disposal is also very important to implement the regulations.

  30. Metro Manila 1 • Targets for PPP based concession agreement: • Non-revenue water to decrease from 56% to 32% in 10 years. • The one third of service area for the poorest. • Wastewater program to attain over 80% coverage within 25-year. • 24 hour service (WHO standards) within 10 years • No increase in real tariff. • Non-revenue water to decrease from 56% to 32% within 10 years • $7.5b to be invested to with in 25 years • Upstream treatment plants to be managed/financed by concessionaires Water Supply 67% 92% 97% 98% 98% 98% Gravity (sanitation) 7% 7% 10% 17% 23% 33% Sewerage (sanitation) 26% 23% 21% 24% 22% Total (sanitation) 7% 33% 33% 38% 47% 55%

  31. Metro Manila 2 • Outcomes: • The privatization process was highly successful and speedy • There is no pressure on the public sector funds • Unaccounted-for-water was reduced considerably • The crises due to El Nino effect (drought) was managed well • Lessons: • Urban Planning: Interconnection agreement for two concessionaires was not resolved • Regulatory: Regulatory body was not in place • Institutional: Bulk water rights and trading in MWSS • Financial: The community sees a sharp increase in tariff; however, devaluation and high debt for MWSS is a factor. • Public participation: Public hearing prior to raise the tariffs.

  32. Bangkok 1 Air Quality Management: Transport Sector Year Lead content( gm / liter ) • Before 1984 0.84 • 1984 0.45 • 1989 0.40 • 1991 premium ULG available • 1992 0.15 • 1994 phase out regular leaded gasoline • 1996 phase out premium leaded gasoline Year Sulfur content (% by weight) • Before 1993 < 1.0 % • 1993 < 0.5 % • 1996 < 0.25 % • 1999 < 0.05 %

  33. Bangkok 2 Major actions: • Vapor recovery system by July recovery system by July 2001 • After 1996, annual vehicle inspection for passenger vehicles (above 7 years old) and motor cycles (above 5 years old) • Electricity operated sky train for mass transit since 1999 • Sub-way will be operated from 2003 (2004) • All new gasoline cars to install Catalytic converters • Most of the taxis and trucks converted to LPG • All in-use buses and trucks are subjected to inspections during annual registration renewals • Penalty on polluter vehicles during surprise inspections • Public awareness campaigns • Training of mechanics of repair and maintenance garages • Monitoring stations for continuous monitoring

  34. Bangkok 3 Lessons: • Urban Planning: Zoning and land-use, especially for mass transit system (sub-way, sky trains, and bus lanes) • Regulatory: Appropriate standards for fuel and vehicles • Institutional: Clear role of PCD and BMA • Financial: Economic incentives for cleaner technologies and fuels, and penalty on the polluters • Technology: proper monitoring stations and proper vehicle repair garages • Public participation: Public campaigns to promote the proper implementation of the regulations and use of mass transit system

  35. LAQM in UK 1 • The local air quality management (LAQM) framework in the UK was initiated by the Environment Act 1995, Part IV • Part of national air quality management (NAQS): policies with respect to the assessment and management of local air quality • Air quality regulations 1997 based on the ambient air quality assessment and management directive 96/62/EC (Daughter Directives of EU) • First Daughter Directives came into force in 1July 1999, establishing legally binding limits for SO2, NO2, particles, and lead to be achieved by 2005 and 2010. The proposal on 4th Daughter Directives (heavy metals and PAHs) were adapted in July 2003

  36. LAQM in UK 2

  37. LAQM in UK 3

  38. LAQM in UK 4

  39. Overall Policy Related Lessons • Political will and public will are the most crucial elements, as hard decisions, having temporary hardships, should be taken and implemented • Communities can put pressure leading towards environmental management decision-making • Zoning and infrastructure development are the fundamentals for improving current and future environmental quality • Success of public-private partnerships require strong regulatory setup • Regulations and institutions constitute the basis for UEM, where a mix of economic and command and control measures, with clear jurisdiction are required • Appropriate technology should be explored in accordance to local problems

  40. Recommendations • For overall UEM: the capacity of local governments should be strengthening through an active support for national and international agencies as well as through an active local stakeholder participation • For SWM: recycling and composting through segregation at source, and integration of various informal and formal initiatives/actions are vital • For UWM: involvement of private sector and communities at various levels of production and management as well as strengthening the regulatory role of the government • For UAQM: phasing out of leaded gasoline, strengthening the local capacity, and a mix regulatory and economic instruments are vital

  41. Section - IV Conclusions and Considerations

  42. Conclusions • There is no universal recipe, which can work well for all the cities, or for all times in the same city • There are quite a few good “examples” those can be transferred with little modification, including phasing out of leaded gasoline, segregation of recycling waste at source and integration of formal and informal sector, voluntary agreements to start effective UEM, and stakeholder participation in decision-making and various activities including provision of the services • Try to avoid finding ready-made solutions without analyzing the local conditions

  43. Future Considerations The major limitations, so far, for our SP are: • Their scope and transferability into local actions/policies • Involvement of local partners in collection and analysis of “successful practices” Considerations: • Promotion of city-to-city level cooperation for learning from their experiences • Single format to be adapted for SP database with one section on the transferability, with the assistance from the local stakeholders • There may be some monitoring process to see how “successful practices” are being transformed into “local actions/policies”
