The
Overall objective of the project is
to enable municipal areas in Sri Lanka to become urban centres with increased
economic growth, good governance and resilience; with reduced urban and
peri-urban poverty; and be habitable spaces to live in.
The
Specific objective of the project is
to improve information and analysis of information on the provincial capitals
as the first step in promoting informed and evidenced-based policy and integrated
city planning, as well as private and public sector investment.
Based on discussions with several of the
stakeholders, it was thought best that understanding and developing the
databases of the urban sector in Sri Lanka needs to happen in stages. So while
there are 23 Municipal councils and 41 urban council areas in the country, as a
first step the State of the Sri Lankan Cities report will concentrate on
collecting and analyzing the data from the nine provincial capital cities or
the identified economic growth city in each province. This is to ensure that a manageable number of
cities is picked, that there is good geographic distribution which will be
acceptable by the provinces, as well as provide a strong basis on which the
data collection and decision making processes for other cities can also be
developed.
