Metropolitan governance can be defined as collaboration between governmental and non-governmental agencies to ensure quality of living through services and policy implementation within a metropolitan area. There are 8 known metropolitan arrangements in the Philippines, each with their own governing bodies. Models of metropolitan governance include a metropolitan city with a single LGU responsible for all functions, jurisdictional fragmentation with a second-tier structure like a council or authority, and functional fragmentation with autonomous entities undertaking specific services. Key elements for effective metropolitan planning are a common vision, unified economic and political base, and an appropriate governance structure.
The document discusses ensuring world-class civic amenities in urban India. It notes that India's urban population is growing rapidly and will account for 50% of the total population by 2025. However, current civic infrastructure is inadequate, with most cities lacking proper sanitation, roads, transportation and other amenities. Providing housing, water, transportation and managing waste are some of the major challenges faced. A strong, well-managed infrastructure is needed to support this urban growth and ensure access to basic services and amenities.

The document discusses an Open City Portal (OCP) proposal for cities to implement e-government strategies. It describes the OCP as having 5 main features: 1) a citizen-centric portal that categorizes services by citizens' needs rather than government structures, 2) easy creation of a portal with just a few clicks, 3) inclusion of all citizens in content development, 4) lower transaction costs, and 5) promoting transparency and administrative reform. A key feature is knowledge sharing between partner cities to exchange best practices. The OCP aims to give even small cities with limited budgets and resources a way to create an effective government portal.
The document discusses an Open City Portal (OCP) proposal for e-government strategies in cities.

State and Local Government:
Chapter 10:
Local Government: Types and Functions
Unit Lesson
Local governments have a long history in this country. As settlements began to develop there were common
or public needs that were identified. These local needs included the provision of potable water sources,
managing waste water, building roads and bridges and protective services like fire and police. Clearly, the
adoption of the services were aimed at providing local services. To identify and respond to these local needs
the US adopted a model that was far different than the central government model that was prevalent in
Europe. In particular, the US model of governance is based on two tiers in the Constitution (federal and state).
Local governments (which are not specifically identified in the Constitution) are under the jurisdiction of the
states and the state legislature.
As communities developed in the US the model included the use of regular, public gatherings of citizens to
consider the types of services and functions that the community was prepared to initiate. These "town hall"
meetings became a hallmark of American democracy in action. Over time, the increasing complexities in
development patterns required more formal structures and organizations to manage communities properly.
For a more detailed discussion of some of the current challenges and solutions related to local government,
see the National League of Cities (NLC) web site at http://www.nlc.org/. The NLC represents more than
19,000 towns and cities across the US.
Local Councils
On a practical basis, most communities have a physical Town Hall which serves as the operational center for
a local government. As we see in the readings, the role of the local government is to provide local services
that serve the best interest of a community from the perspective of both property related services and
services of benefit to the residents. Of course, this part of the system using locally elected officials is very
similar to that used in state legislatures and the federal system. The main difference is that local officials live
in the communities that they govern full time. Hence, they are more readily available to their friends,
neighbors, and citizens. In many cases, local officials are elected on a district or ward basis allowing them to
represent a specific sub-area of the community. Alternatively, we do see some communities where officials
may be elected at-large, representing the entire city.
Practically, decisions are made by locally-elected officials operating as boards or councils. The spokesperson
for local governments usually takes the role of mayor. Again, this is an elected positi ...

The document discusses urban infrastructure development in India and provides recommendations. It notes that India's urban population is projected to grow rapidly which will strain existing infrastructure. Current infrastructure faces issues like inadequate water supply, sewage treatment, and solid waste management. Recommendations include building urban infrastructure capacity, shifting to performance-based maintenance contracts, creating regional infrastructure funds, and monetizing underutilized public lands to fund development. A case study of Delhi highlights opportunities to optimize land use through measures like reducing the land allocated to ceremonial areas and relocating unused facilities.
This document discusses building sustainable cities in urban India to meet the needs of a growing population. Some key points:
- India's urban population will grow significantly in the coming decades, putting pressure on existing cities and infrastructure.
- New "eco-polis" or satellite cities need to be developed that are self-sufficient, minimize environmental impact, and provide accessible housing and public transport.
- A "People-Public-Private-Partnership" model is proposed to involve citizens more in city planning and maintenance for better outcomes.
- Recommendations are provided for ensuring sustainability in areas like housing, transportation, sanitation, healthcare, and leveraging public-private partnerships.
The document discusses several challenges facing urban development in India, including lack of empowerment of urban local bodies, outdated city planning, lack of qualified planners, revenue generation issues for municipalities, need for affordable housing and improved health services, water and sanitation problems, traffic issues, environmental concerns, urban crime, poverty, and need for employment. It also outlines steps the government has taken to address these issues, such as the 74th Amendment Act, National Urban Transport Policy, National Urban Renewal Mission, metro projects, monorail projects, the Smart Cities Mission, and other initiatives.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTSShashank Arun
Urban renewal is done to meet the increasing need of infrastructural services in the urban agglomeration due to increasing population (city population & migration). The areas comes under urban renewal are,
Up-gradation of existing infrastructure.
Decongestion of dense urban zones (old city areas).
Providing basic amenities to the citizens (urban poor).
When we say ‘infrastructure’, it does mean the services provided for the better living, basic framework for economic growth, facilities designed for public gatherings, transportation within city etc.
To identify these projects is one part & to execute them is the other. Management of the urban renewal project is different that from normal building projects as they are large in size & scale, they affect not only the people living in the vicinity but also the users. If they are not completed in time, then may increase problem of the users.
Ensuring World Class Civic Amenities in Urban India discusses challenges facing India's major cities like housing shortages, waste disposal, and power issues due to rapid urbanization.

Improving utilities like water distribution is prioritized through exploring water sources and building infrastructure like dams and canals.
The document discusses urbanization trends in India and proposes a plan for ensuring world-class civic amenities. It notes that 590 million people will live in cities by 2030, nearly twice the current US population. It proposes a governance model where the government, private sector, and academia work together under a Central Command Committee. A national urban institute would provide technical expertise and policies to municipalities. A web service would help manage civic issues, track progress, and increase transparency and citizen participation. The plan aims to facilitate systematic, long-term urban planning across all city sizes in India.

Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. 1.1 Introduction
Infrastructure is one among most important factors for any citizen. A large number of
population stays in Mumbai. As large number of population stays in Mumbai so we find
many types of infrastructure. In Mumbai not only infrastructure is important there are
different things which drive people crazy for Mumbai. Most of the people like to come to
Mumbai due to various facilities like gardens, parks, beautified lake, greenery, continuous
supply of electricity, continuous supply of water, etc.
The Municipal Corporation is a body which under takes different initiatives to maintain the
infrastructure in Mumbai. Municipal Corporation takes much initiative but is unsuccessful
because the initiative it takes does not fulfill the needs as what the citizens require. Most of
the time many of the Municipal Corporation officials indulge in corruption which indirectly
leads to failure or deteriorated infrastructure for the citizens. Best example is the roads of
Mumbai, which gets flooded during rains and potholes are formed. None of the Mumbai
citizens are happy with the work done by Municipal Corporation. Not only the roads have
problem but even the drainage system is not good. The MC officials just fill their pockets
rather than working satisfactorily for the wellbeing of the citizens. Many of the people always
keep on complaining about the MC. We always keep on blaming them but we never take any
initiatives to solve the problem. Many times we hear different people complaining about the
work of MC but never see any one doing anything for those issues. Even the young
generation people just keep on complaining but we never see them doing anything for the
city.
1.2 About Municipal Corporation:
Bombay was the first British Indian possession, which came as a part of the royal dowry in
1661 to King Charles II of England on his marriage to the Portuguese princess, Infanta
Catherine de Braganza. Ironically enough, Bombay also set the stage for the birth of the
country's historic freedom movement, as well as for some of its major landmarks, including
Gandhiji's 1942 call to the British to "Quit India". It was in Bombay that the Indian National
Congress was born in 1885. It led the country's struggle for political independence and
indirectly to the liquidation of the British Empire.
The name "Bombay" was changed to "Mumbai" by the Corporation Resolution No.512 dated
August 12, 1996, Maharashtra Act, XXV of 1996
Page 2
3. During the period between the rise and fall of the British Empire, Bombay gradually
developed into a town, a city and a metropolis of world renown. Today, the Brihanmumbai
Mahanagarpalika covers an area of 480.24 sqkms. with a population of 1,19,14,378 as per the
census of 2001. The metropolis accounts major portion of India's international trade and
government revenue, from being one of the foremost centers of education, science and
technological research and advancement
It is also pertinent to note that Mumbai's all-round growth owed a lot to the early
development of the system of local government under British rule.
1.3 Services Offered by MC:
In order to bring transparency and smooth collaboration within various departments of
MCGM and for the benefit of the citizens MCGM has embraced E-Governance and
facilitating most essential citizen services through this Portal. The portal offers information
about various aspects of the city, its governance and facilitates citizen services such as
Birth/Death Certificate, registration of complaints, etc.
Initially those services, which do not require any documentation, will be offered on this
portal, other services will be offered subsequently in a phased manner.
On this portal, Citizens can file online complaints and subsequently track the status of their
complaints. Citizen can apply online for Birth and Death certificate, provided the Birth
Registration data of the applicant is available with MCGM and the data is post 1995. It is also
possible to pay property and water taxes through electronic clearance system.
Citizens can search for the licenses & registrations given by MCGM through the link "Data
Lookup".
In addition to the services mentioned above soon it will be possible for a Citizen to apply for
Shop and Establishment registration, apply for Trade License under section 394, 313, 328A,
apply for Heath License u/s section 394, 412 and MPFA License, apply for factory permit,
etc.

The main objective of doing this project is as follows:
To know different view of people regarding work of MC
To know different suggestions
To know actual progress of MC
To know whether people actually expect from MC

6. Governance in general and urban governance is the flavor of the season. In this piece
we take the view that it has to do with the strategies that deal with identification of the
lacunae and to make operational (including the ability to do so from economic/
financial point of view) the policy initiatives to be undertaken given the objectives of
the government. The framework of policy regimen is constructed through principles
of governance. The focus of this article is on Mumbai (MCGM). We argue that what
is required is a massive capacity building exercise requiring a change in mindsets,
creation of a feeling on the part of all the agents of being real stakeholders with the
end-result of improved governance. Further, we argue that the governance process has
to be Simple, Transparent, Accountable, Responsive, and Technology enabled. What
is clearly of essence is that we must exercise the political will – whether inherently
available or externally injected – to START the process of getting governance right!

The operative term needs to move from “managing” Mumbai to “governing”
Mumbai, because this not only encompasses the function of managing but also locates
it in a larger context. The problems of urban governance in the Mumbai Metropolitan
Region are not trivial. There are technical issues, such as urban planning, design and
management of mass transport systems, and access to such resources as water and
power along with their pricing and distribution. There are public finance issues of
ensuring that the local bodies in the region get access to the resources they need to
provide services of acceptable quality. There are regional issues too: how does
Mumbai relate to the larger region in which it is located and the other local bodies in
the region, and how can the relationship between these be managed? Examples of
gaps that arise out of these “governance” related issues include:
→ Affordable housing: the lack of sufficient affordable housing is driven by a complex
set of inter-related issues:
1. Complexity of current regulations and control on urban land
2. Social issues of the poor and how they are oppressed
3. Challenges in enforcement, due to political interference and criminal politician nexus
4. Poor urban planning that extends from the neighborhood to the metropolitan level
Page 6
7. 5. Weak design and implementation of urban infrastructure projects, resulting in time
and financial costs
6. Lack of opportunities for citizens to participate
7. Insufficient financial resources available to urban local bodies
Due to the increasing gap between infrastructure demands of urban citizens and their
actual provision, Indian cities are confronted with an immense pressure. Most cities in
India have a deficient sewerage and sanitation infrastructure that cause enormous
damage to the natural environment and public health. Even in metropolitan cities such
as Mumbai, only a small amount of wastewater is collected and treated adequately
before its disposal into rivers, lakes and the sea. Furthermore, especially
underprivileged urban citizens such as pavement and slum dwellers suffer from
lacking or inadequate sanitation facilities. Despite Mumbai’s status of being the most
important economic and financial centre of India, the sewerage and sanitation
infrastructure is far behind in meeting the needs of the urban citizens. The existing
sewerage infrastructure is not able to cope with the huge amount of incoming sewage
which is thus discharged mostly untreated into water bodies. Furthermore, half of
Mumbai’s citizens are faced with inadequate sanitation facilities within the slum
areas. In 1993, an additional constitution article was implemented at the federal level
to improve the urban governance of Indians cities. The implementation of this
74thConstitution Amendment Act aims to strengthen the participation of urban
dwellers in city management, especially in infrastructure provision. This is embedded
in a worldwide debate about the disputing top-down city planning, specifically
infrastructure provision.This Master’s Thesis is focused on the analysis of the
governance form of Mumbai’s wastewater and sanitation sector. The aim of the study
is to deliver insight into the governance structure of Mumbai’s wastewater and
sanitation sector by analyzing two ongoing wastewater and sanitation projects, the
Technical Sewage Project and the Slum Sanitation Project. The study is based on the
following questions: to what extend have the ideas of the theoretical concepts of
urban and adaptive governance been implemented in the ongoing wastewater projects
in Mumbai? In addition, the focus is concentrated on the question of how these
governing forms of the projects have influenced the sewerage and sanitation
infrastructure in Mumbai. In order to find answers to these questions, the main
assumptions about the theoretical concepts of urban and adaptive governance are used
Page 7
8. and transferred in governing dimensions which can be analyzed in the wastewater
projects. These dimensions were investigated by interviewing 22 experts who are
involved in the TSP and the SSP and have the best knowledge about their governing
forms. Furthermore, 20 interviews were conducted with local people from Mumbai in
order to get an impression about their experiences and perceptions of the wastewater
sector. The analysis of the two projects shows that they differ in their governing
forms. The SSP meets many more of the governance criteria than the TSP, which has
a considerable lack of integrating actors from civil society within the decision-making
processes. In contrast, the SSP is based on the participation of actors from civil
society such as NGOs and CBOs and would never achieve success without their
involvement. Despite their different governing forms, the SSP as well as the TSP are
faced with some difficulties such as conflicts in goal setting, lacking accountability of
the involved actors and the existence of uncertainties and complexities within the
project. On the other hand, all of the involved actors have clear responsibilities, are
legitimized by the political system and accepted by the actors. In order to be able to
cope with difficulties and challenges within the project, the actors of the SSP and the
TSP must improve in managing and governing the projects more flexibly and
adaptively. Another considerable difference of the projects can be seen in their
solution approaches. While the TSP only integrates hardware approaches to improve
the sewerage infrastructure (such as the construction of wastewater treatment plants),
the SSP combines software approaches like capacity-building approaches along with
the construction of slum toilets. The experience shows that the combination of these
approaches has more prospects for success. The analysis of the governing dimensions
of the TSP and the SSP shows that their performances have noticeable influence on
the projects’ outcomes and therefore on Mumbai’s sewerage and sanitation
infrastructure. The lacking integration of civil society within the TSP caused
enormous time delay, which could lead to unfinished work steps in infrastructure
provision at the end of the project. In contrast, even if the involvement of
environmental NGOs was not intended by the key players of the project, their
participation results in the implementation of more adaptive wastewater treatment
plants. Through the participation of civil society within the SSP and their
implementation of software approaches, the acceptance of the project was increased.
However, this acceptance of the design of the SSP could have been better if the
process of choosing the toilet design was more adaptive and more participatory. It is
Page 8
9. fair to mention that the implementation of the SSP and the TSP will not make a
significant change in the wastewater and sanitation sector if these efforts are not going
to be continued with subsequent
projects.(http://www.eawag.ch/forschung/cirus/lehre/diplommaster/abgeschlossene_arbei

22. 5.1 Places Visited:
I visited the Central Railway Quarters
5.2 Suggestions:
They should avoid corruption. The amount of money sanctioned by government & the
amount received through taxes should be utilized only in wellbeing of the citizens.
They should not fill their pockets by the money which they collect.
The raw materials used for building or constructing should be good there should not
be any type of mixing or use of poor quality of materials.
If poor quality of materials is used for building towers or apartments it can impact the
people staying in those houses.
The materials used to make roads should also be of good quality no mixing of any
unwanted substance or degraded quality of material.
The drainage system should be cleaned after a gap of 3 months & mostly before the
commencement of the monsoons which can avoid flooding and over flowing or
blockage.
The Municipal Corporation should undertake such programs which motivate people to
plant more and more trees and this should not only be on paper but should be

should employ highly qualified Teachers to teach them & also provide them with
different facilities which should be given them.

5.3 Conclusions:
The UGI indicates the following:
a) Physical Index denotes the following:
The review of the respondents for this index is below average.
The respondents have given very poor rating for the physical infrastructure.
So as per the analysis individual rating is above 50% but overall rating is average.
b) Social Infrastructure denotes the following:
The ratings given by the respondents are not as good as the respondents are not
satisfied by the performance of the Municipal Corporation.
They need to improvise more on this area as it is important to gain the confidence of
the people in the society.
c) Environmental Infrastructure denotes the following:
Over here the ratings given are more than half.
But the people staying in the chawls don’t have the same as compared to the people
staying in a good area.
