Overview
Pakistan is currently the most urbanized country in South Asia. It is experiencing a rapid urban transition with growth rates that are twice the rate of increase of the overall population. Over a third of the total population of 140 million lives in urban areas, and almost half of Pakistan's residents will be urban by 2015. Pakistan's economy has experienced an even more rapid transformation. The more urbanized provinces like Punjab have recognized the potential role of cities in economic growth, and the need to make available adequate resources for investment in infrastructure and delivery of services to improve the investment climate of its cities.
Problem
The rapid urban transition in Pakistan could contribute even more to the pace of the country's economic growth and poverty reduction; if cities did not suffer from severe infrastructure bottlenecks, service deficiencies, poor local governance, and inefficiencies in land and housing markets. Water and sanitation coverage rates have almost stagnated since the 1990s at about 58% and 30%, respectively. Unaccounted for water is high, collection rates and cost recovery levels are low, existing infrastructure is run down, supply intermittent, and the quality of water dubious. Other urban services are not much better in terms of quality and sustainability. The shortfalls in urban services are not merely the outcome of aggregate resource constraints. They are exacerbated by constraints in the institutional, governance, and financial arrangements that have defined local service delivery and financing. General condition of the services being rendered by various TMAs in Punjab Province is not up to the mark. The service level is poor and people feel dissatisfied in almost every sector.
Solution
In view of this situation, infrastructure development is being carried out in the sectors mentioned below, as per priority need of the TMA. The priority is determined in prioritization workshop held at TMA with the help of PMDFC.
