3) DETAILS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

1) General  Introduction
Description The urbanizing cities in Punjab need to revisit and revitalize their
strategic planning processes to address their future economic, social and
environmental needs. The Government of the Punjab intends to develop
the cities of the Province as sustainable, livable and well managed
engines of economic growth. The cities are not only confronted with the
task of managing unprecedented population growth, but are also under
tremendous pressure to adequately cope with the resultant demands on
urban land and infrastructure services

Bahawalpur is an intermediate city located on southeastern side of

Punjab province, almost five kilometers on the south of Sutlej River,
with an estimated population of 666,000. Today, the city is estimated to
be the 11th largest in Pakistan and is rapidly growing. It has a steady
industrial base, mostly derived from agriculture in surrounding areas.

Despite its past cultural prominence, and huge economic potential,

Bahawalpur has lagged behind in development. The city needs to
reclaim its relevance and capitalize on the abundant opportunities that
exist in the region for diversified economic growth. In order to
reconsider the existing socio-economic development in a better and
more sustainable way, the Bahawalpur Municipal Corporation and the
Bahawalpur Development Authority is looking forward to put forth the
development of the Bahawalpur City Master Plan 2040.
 Background
The Bahawalpur Municipal Corporation and Bahawalpur Development
Authority intend to develop the Bahawalpur City Master Plan 2040.
The Master Planning exercise will be initiated with a comprehensive
visioning exercise, “Imagine Bahawalpur 2040”, which includes
identifying key stakeholders and conducting consultation sessions in the
form of brainstorming sessions, focus group discussions, interviews,
seminars, workshops and presentations. The consultation sessions will
be held with the prime purpose of determining the needs of the citizens
of Bahawalpur and incorporate their vision of what the city might look
like in 2040 and what it might offer the generations to come.

The master plan for 2040 will seek to integrate the existing governance
structure into an efficient and workable plan that can feed into a
program for sustainable development. It will focus on an overall
strategy for development of the city which in turn will guide the
development of action plans for each individual identified sector. These
action plans will be augmented by a monitoring and evaluation
framework which will enable the city to develop in an integrated and
holistic way.

 Project Area
The study area includes the existing built up area of Bahawalpur as well
as the peri-urban area likely to become part of the urban area in the next
25 years. The Master planning areaa will focus on an overall strategy
for development of the city which in turn will guide and manage the
development of Bahawalpur City including both its urban and peri-
urban and fringe rural settlements. The total area of Bahawalpur City is
96 sq km shown in Fig. 1 below.

Project: Development of Master Plan for Bahawalpur City 2040
Client: Bahawalpur Development Authority

BACKGROUND:

Bahawalpur is an intermediate city located on southeastern side of Punjab province, almost

five kilometers on the south of Sutlej River. According to 1998 census, Bahawalpur City’s
estimated population is 666,000. City with a rich culture, heritage and prominent natural
setting in Cholistan Desert attracts historians, archeologists and a large number of domestic
and international tourists. It is known for its cotton, silk, embroidery, carpets, and
extraordinarily delicate pottery.

Today, the city is estimated to be the 11th largest in Pakistan and is rapidly growing. It has a
steady industrial base, mostly derived from agriculture in surrounding areas. These
industries primarily comprise soap making and cotton spinning factories, as well as
enterprises producing silk and cotton textiles, carpets, pottery and sugar.

Despite its past prominence, and huge economic potential, Bahawalpur has lagged behind in
development. The city faces a number of challenges both socially and economically as the
provision of basic urban services remains low and the city increasingly faces problems of
pollution and unplanned growth. The only planning documents formulated for the city were
the Outline Development Plan of 1974 and the Feasibility Study of Ten Cities in Punjab (an
intervention related to Urban Development) was carried out in 1996. Unfortunately, these
plans could not be effectively implemented due to the lack of a legal framework, dearth of
professional human resources and a sound vision. The city needs to reclaim its relevance
and capitalize on the abundant opportunities that exist in the region for diversified economic
development and spur the growth of a better and more sustainable city. The complexity of
emerging dynamic urban systems and growing challenges of urbanization, pollution, climate
change and phenomenal urban growth, all call for pragmatic governance and an informed
approach to urban policy making linking primarily sectors such as integrating land uses with
transportation networks and economic generators. Crucial will be the involvement and
active participation of the citizens and professional who can contribute toward
understanding and planning for the multitude of urban problems.

The Bahawalpur Development Authority is looking forward to hire services of a reputed

firm having vast experience in strategic, and urban and regional planning.

STUDY AREA

viii
The Project area for this study, broadly includes Bahawalpur City / Municipal limits,
dependent peri-urban area and the rural fringe areas of the city of the Bahawalpur City,
however, it is desired to mark tentative planning study boundary and city boundary viz. a
viz. for Master Plan based on preliminary technical assessments, assumptions and analyzing
past growth trends and these tentative boundaries shall be shared at inception phase. These
boundaries will be refined, consolidated and finalized through a process of stakeholder
consultation and data analysis during plan finalization phase. The Study area is shown
below:

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

This project has been conceived and designed to benefit this historic abode of while
developing a long term holistic planning vision through a collaborative process which is
essentially expected to take the form of a strategic planning framework i.e. “Master Plan” to
shape city’s physical future form as desired by its residents.

The objectives of the master plan project are;

ix
1) To create a long term shared “Planning and Development Vision” for city while
taking all stakeholders on board through a collaborative process. This vision is
suggested to be titled as “Imagine Bahawalpur 2040”
2) Identify and delineate a comprehensive and common city boundary which will be
adopted by the Bahawalpur Development Authority for integrated spatial
planning, urban development, resource management and service delivery.
3) Strategies to provide affordable, diverse and environmentally sustainable housing
to cater for the demands arising from all income groups and classes from society.
Plan must focus on provision of a variety of housing including vertical condos,
mixed use, vertically shared 2-3 storied residences, low income housing and the
in-demand suburban housing.
4) Identification of areas/corridors for the future spatial growth of the city while
addressing environmental sustainable & equitable opportunities, disaster
resilience and enhanced mobility & accessibility.
5) Propose comprehensive strategies for the promotion of sustainable local
economic growth, a diversified local & regional economy and enhancing
investment climate for the region to be competitive and economically robust in
the long run.
6) Revitalizing the marred urban form of Bahawalpur City by employing
contemporary urban planning and design concepts like Mixed Use Development,
Vertical Development, Transit Oriented Development, Walkable Communities
and Robust Spaces in Public realm. Planning interventions must focus on
strategies towards social equity and inclusion by reducing social and spatial
friction.
7) Regeneration strategies for old city areas to conserve and sustain its heritage
character.
8) Formulation of plans and strategies including projects to protect the physical
environment and bio-diversity in the regional urban, agricultural & desert eco-
systems.
9) Formulation of strategies to conserve, maintain and promote the built heritage of
the Bahawalpur City and planning for conservation of built heritage while
promoting tourism to enhance livelihood opportunities.
10) Enhancing accessibility and mobility facilitated through planned growth of the
city augmented by ancillary road infrastructure. This augmentation and
enhancement should be primarily focused on pedestrian infrastructure and public
modes of commuting.
11) Strategies for the provision of improved and environmentally sustainable
infrastructure to extend essential urban municipal services at affordable price
including water, electricity, gas, sewerage, drainage and telecommunication
across the city limits to enhance quality of life.
12) Strategies to enhance urban security and resilience against natural disasters.

x
 13) Strategies for Institutional re-structuring/reforms and capital Improvement
Planning to support effective plan implementation.
14) Devising Action Plans for different areas of plan implementation and projects
development. These plans should assign implementation responsibilities, phasing
for different plan tiers and financing options.
15) Assessing the feasibilities for development of workable framework for plan
implementation and projects development through public private partnerships
(PPP), joint ventures, BOT and through standalone public interventions.
16) Further, strategies to establish an improved system of urban governance to
enhance livability, improved service delivery and financial sustainability.

RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

City of Bahawalpur with a rich historical and cultural background, is facing various urban
issues of increased urbanization, urban sprawl, decreased natural beauty & historical
character and ineffective regulatory framework. Physical infrastructure presenting a gloomy
view as there is no integration between water supply, sewerage and solid waste disposal.
Moreover, urban transport with no traffic signals, encroachments, increasing motorization,
dilapidated road network and absence of public transport adds to the dilemma. Development
Plans prepared in the past comprised Bureaucratic and project centric approach largely
affected the urban fabric of the Bahawalpur. The only planning documents formulated for
the city were the Outline Development Plan of 1974 and the Feasibility Study of Ten Cities
in Punjab carried out in 1996. In the Outline Development Plan 1974, No polices and plan
had been given to overcome these issue of water supply and sanitation. Similarly, solid
waste management and sewerage were ignored in Outline development plan 1974 as well.
Other proposals related to land use, transportation were not comprehensive and thus could
not be fully implemented as well. Similar is the case with the policies and proposals of
“Feasibility and Urban Master Planning of Ten Cities in Punjab 1996” which cannot be
brought to realization. These plans and studies kept narrow focus on land use planning and
lacked strategic vision and focus on economic development, environmental conditions,
financial and implementation arrangements. So, it is quite evident that there is a desperate
need to prepare a master plan that would regulate the development of city in a planned
manner, comprising set of statutory polices and guiding principles setting out local
authorities’ policies, programs and proposals for manageable development and use of land in
their respected areas.
