Urban Planning
ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION ACTIONS
Urban Planning
• Encompasses the preparation of plans for and the regulation and
management of towns, cities, and metropolitan region
• Urban planning deals with physical layout of human settlements
• It is the process of developing and designing urban areas
Importance of Urban Planning
u
Urban Planning
Well balanced
social and
economic
development
Improvement of
life quality
Responsible
administration
of resources
Rational use of
land and
environmental
protection
Features of Urban Planning
Urban planning includes techniques such as
• Predicting population growth
• Zoning
• Geographic mapping and analysis
Socio economic implications for urban
planning
Impacts of population
density
Interlinkages between
urbanization and climate
change adaptations
Urban planning and
vulnerability to climate
change
Consumption patterns
Government Projects
• Urban Forestation Drive
• Clean Green Pakistan Movement (CGPM)
Implementing Institutions
• Capital and City Development Authorities
• ENERCON
• City Municipal Authorities
• Provincial Town Planning Departments
• Higher Education Commission.
Impacts of Urban Planning
• Stress on urban drainage systems
• Stress on urban potable water supply systems
• Biodiversity loss
• Damage to ecosystems
Impacts of Urban Planning
• Loss of agricultural land
• Pollution
• Burden on resources
• Global Warming
Effected Regions in Pakistan
low or no climate risk
medium climate risk
high climate risk
Lower indus plains
Balochistan Plateau
Coastal Areas
Western Highlands
Submountain
Greater Himalayas
Central and Southern Punjab
Adaptation and Mitigation
Adaptation Mitigation
Strategy for adapting to climate change Strategy for reducing the impact of climate change
Take measures to prevent climate change effects Reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases
Long term strategies Short term strategies
It is localized and specific to a region It is global and non localized
Measures such as construction of flood barriers Use of clean energy resources
Categories of Adaptation action
1. Structural and Physical Adaptation
2. Social Adaptation
3. Institutional Adaptations
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
1. Updating town planning
design principles for lower
carbon foot prints
• Short term: Undertake emission profile of major urban centres
• Medium term: Provide alternative and low-emission fuels for heating
and energy
• Short term: Enhance capacity of urban planning professionals and
facilitate researching
• Priority: Amend building laws to ensure that construction work is
appropriate to local climate
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
2. Developing infrastructure
and support facilities in smaller
agro-based towns and
periphery urban areas to check
rural-to-urban migration
• Short term: Develop small agro-based towns with modern
amenities in rural areas
• Medium term: Provide necessary infrastructure and services to
remote agricultural settlements
• Medium term: Develop industrial estates to provide job
opportunities to rural population near their homes
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
3. Promoting proper “Land Use
Planning” and vertical instead of
horizontal expansion of urban
housing projects.
• Medium Term: Increase density of town centres and suburbs near
popular business
• Medium Term: Build planned high density townships near parks,
gardens and natural reserves
• Medium Term: Build planned labour high density colonies near
factory areas to curtail shanty towns
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
4. Undertaking hazard mapping
and zoning of areas before
construction.
• Short Term: Development of Vulnerability-Index of urban areas of
the country
• Short Term: Control expansion of existing towns and construction
in ecologically fragile areas.
• Short Term: Geological and seismic surveys of any new township
location should be made mandatory
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
5. Constructing climate resilient
rural housing particularly in
natural hazard zones.
• Short Term: Design special shelters in flood prone areas
• Short Term: Identify technological innovation for reconstruction
of houses in cyclone or storm prone areas
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
6. Limiting the industries in large
urban cities to the designated
areas.
• Short Term: Build vegetative barriers and nature reserve areas as
buffers between cities and industrial areas
• Short Term: Organize regular transport between housing suburbs
and industrial areas
• Priority: Design segregated areas for industries adjacent to towns
and cities
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
7. Installing solar water heaters in
large commercial and public
buildings
• Short Term: Encourage the corporate sector to build a public
private partnership for replacing fuel based water heating and
energy needs with solar energy.
• Priority: Replacing fuel based water heaters with solar water
heaters in government/public buildings
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
8. Installing wastewater treatment
plants as an integral part of all
sewerage schemes
• Short Term: Design central sewerage schemes for all large
metropolitan areas
• Medium Term: Appropriate solid and liquid waste treatment
facilities be made an integral part of all development projects
• Priority: Install water quality measurement equipments near all
water reserves to ensure water safety
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban
Planning
Strategy Actions
9. Arranging separate collection,
disposal and re-use of recyclable,
composite and biodegradable
waste.
Short Term: Formalize solid waste collection by scavengers into a
regular and efficient system
Medium Term: Encourage recycling of all recyclable waste to reduce
the demand on natural resources
Priority: Encourage each locality to segregate glass, metal, paper and
plastic in separate containers
Climate Change Risks and Suggested
Adaptation Technologies in the Urban
Infrastructure Services Sector of Pakistan
Climate Change Risks Suggested Adaptation Technologies
• Heavy rainfall impact on urban drainage system
• Extreme hydrological events impact on urban
potable water supply systems
• Enhance capacity of urban storm drain channels
• Developing and promoting rain and roof gardens
and bioswales
• Make efficient use of water to offset the impacts
of severe drought spells in urban areas.
• Heavy rainfall-induced landslides in mountain
urban centers
• Sea level rise and storm surge impacts on coastal
towns
• Adopt both hard and soft preventive measures to
offset the impact of landslides and sea level rise
such as construction of dikes, or sea walls, and
increasing vegetation cover to minimize landslide
threats.
Conclusion
• As the developed world begins making more commitments to address global
climate change, better urban planning serves as a way for local governments
and municipalities
• It will create more efficient cites with a direct local
• It will also lower carbon emissions and address global climate change

Updating town planning design principles for lower carbon foot prints • Short term: Undertake emission profile of major urban centres • Medium term: Provide alternative and low-emission fuels for heating and energy • Short term: Enhance capacity of urban planning professionals and facilitate researching • Priority: Amend building laws to ensure that construction work is appropriate to local climate
  • 15. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 2. Developing infrastructure and support facilities in smaller agro-based towns and periphery urban areas to check rural-to-urban migration • Short term: Develop small agro-based towns with modern amenities in rural areas • Medium term: Provide necessary infrastructure and services to remote agricultural settlements • Medium term: Develop industrial estates to provide job opportunities to rural population near their homes
  • 16. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 3. Promoting proper “Land Use Planning” and vertical instead of horizontal expansion of urban housing projects. • Medium Term: Increase density of town centres and suburbs near popular business • Medium Term: Build planned high density townships near parks, gardens and natural reserves • Medium Term: Build planned labour high density colonies near factory areas to curtail shanty towns
  • 17. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 4. Undertaking hazard mapping and zoning of areas before construction. • Short Term: Development of Vulnerability-Index of urban areas of the country • Short Term: Control expansion of existing towns and construction in ecologically fragile areas. • Short Term: Geological and seismic surveys of any new township location should be made mandatory
  • 18. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 5. Constructing climate resilient rural housing particularly in natural hazard zones. • Short Term: Design special shelters in flood prone areas • Short Term: Identify technological innovation for reconstruction of houses in cyclone or storm prone areas
  • 19. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 6. Limiting the industries in large urban cities to the designated areas. • Short Term: Build vegetative barriers and nature reserve areas as buffers between cities and industrial areas • Short Term: Organize regular transport between housing suburbs and industrial areas • Priority: Design segregated areas for industries adjacent to towns and cities
  • 20. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 7. Installing solar water heaters in large commercial and public buildings • Short Term: Encourage the corporate sector to build a public private partnership for replacing fuel based water heating and energy needs with solar energy. • Priority: Replacing fuel based water heaters with solar water heaters in government/public buildings
  • 21. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 8. Installing wastewater treatment plants as an integral part of all sewerage schemes • Short Term: Design central sewerage schemes for all large metropolitan areas • Medium Term: Appropriate solid and liquid waste treatment facilities be made an integral part of all development projects • Priority: Install water quality measurement equipments near all water reserves to ensure water safety
  • 22. Adaptation and Mitigation Measures for Urban Planning Strategy Actions 9. Arranging separate collection, disposal and re-use of recyclable, composite and biodegradable waste. Short Term: Formalize solid waste collection by scavengers into a regular and efficient system Medium Term: Encourage recycling of all recyclable waste to reduce the demand on natural resources Priority: Encourage each locality to segregate glass, metal, paper and plastic in separate containers
  • 23. Climate Change Risks and Suggested Adaptation Technologies in the Urban Infrastructure Services Sector of Pakistan Climate Change Risks Suggested Adaptation Technologies • Heavy rainfall impact on urban drainage system • Extreme hydrological events impact on urban potable water supply systems • Enhance capacity of urban storm drain channels • Developing and promoting rain and roof gardens and bioswales • Make efficient use of water to offset the impacts of severe drought spells in urban areas. • Heavy rainfall-induced landslides in mountain urban centers • Sea level rise and storm surge impacts on coastal towns • Adopt both hard and soft preventive measures to offset the impact of landslides and sea level rise such as construction of dikes, or sea walls, and increasing vegetation cover to minimize landslide threats.
  • 24. Conclusion • As the developed world begins making more commitments to address global climate change, better urban planning serves as a way for local governments and municipalities • It will create more efficient cites with a direct local • It will also lower carbon emissions and address global climate change
