City Resource Planning

Pune's population doubles roughly in 7-8 years. By 2015 the Pune region can be expected to be close to 8 million people and by 2025 well near to 20 million people. The information systems in Pune are not equipped to deal with this growth or volume. The government agencies are also not equipped to face the challenges.


To ensure that the city can cope with its growth and volume the city will need to ensure it can do City Resource Planning (CRP). A CRP system would work across government agencies using shared, scalable infrastructure. It would allow the agencies to have a consolidated picture of the city.

The inability of the city to track and implement its Development Plan (DP) is its biggest information gap. A CRP would ensure that all projects follow the DP and the city develops balanced and livable neighborhoods.

The ingredients of a CRP would include:

1.            Property and landuse life cycle:
