Result of CPI (graphs) - Sub Dimensions

Result of the CPI (graphs), Identify problem areas • Poor scores on 1) equity and social inclusion and 2) quality of life 3) productivity and 4) environmental sustainability • The assessment of sub dimensions revealed critical deficits in health , economic equity and air quality • The low scores can be due to lack of accurate data. • However, having lived in Delhi, one can not argue that Delhi has made adequate provisions, regulations and systems required to ensure social mobility and equity.

Scenario of CPI in Delhi

Problem identification • High scores on the following dimensions 1) governance and law 2) infrastructure. • However, the CPI score is not very high and the problems are associated with poor scoring in other four dimensions

SWOT Analysis (optional) • Strengths: Decentralisation and focus on governance, Being national capital, there is good access to knowledge, skills, capital and political support. • Weakness: Lack of cohesive vision and systemic approach. Uni directional approach to economic growth • Opportunity: New government and new vision on urban sector. Deepening of democracy and increased participation of all stakeholders • Threat: 1)Rapidly deteriorating natural environment, 2) acceleration in class based prosperity.

Objective Setting - Goal Setting • Achieve multi-dimensional prosperity through sub sector policies on 1) equity and 2) environmental sustainability. • Strategic investment in these two areas can facilitate higher social dividends and ecological resilience. • These will eventually result in widening active participation in economic activities as well as creating new jobs by tapping environmental resources.

Strategy • Prepare CPI for Delhi by integrating accurate and time series data. This will help in assessing the evolution of the city and the changing dynamics between the 6 dimensions of prosperity over the period. • The CPI would also need a customization by adding new variables to critically and effectively measure equity and social inclusion along with quality of life.

Strategic Actions and Activities • Delhi has 3 Municipal Corporations (East Delhi, South Delhi and North Delhi) • It is proposed to conduct CPI assessment for all three Municipal Corporations to generate the spatial patterns within Delhi • These will enable furtherance of cooperative and competitive localism by generating discourses on multi-dimensional prosperity through strategic planning and investment to enhance social inclusion.
