1. Guidebook: Developing Sustainable and Inclusive Infrastructure Services in India
Municipal services and infrastructure—water, sewerage, drains, solid waste, roads, electricity, and telecommunications—are essential to developing and maintaining efficient, healthy, and sustainable cities. These critical services, plus other physical and social amenities, including housing, schools, and health care, make cities livable and allow their residents to be productive citizens. This guidebook shows the various processes, components, and skills required to develop essential municipal services and infrastructure. Both Indian and global experience demonstrate that governance, finance, and planning set the stage for good implementation.They are preconditions to physical construction, and are the focus of this guidebook.
