Using a Wiki for Governing Pune




The growing city
Just 10 years ago Kothrud, Warje, Hadapsar, Viman Nagar, Sinhagad Road, Satara Road, Kondhwa, Mundhwa, Aundh, Baner Road, Wakad etc. were yet opportunities for planned development. Just two years ago the JNNURM was an opportunity to renew Pune.

With two Municipal Corporations and three Cantonment Boards in addition to a dozen or more other Governance agencies constituted to implement an act (rather than govern the city), it is no wonder that the bounds of the act wall the city’s ability to govern itself.
