Summary of Colombo City Development Strategy

Core Content

The Colombo City Development Strategy (CDS) was formulated in February 2000 with the support of THE WORLD BANK, UNDP, UNCHS (HABITAT) and the Western Provincial Council (WPC). The project was led by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) and guided by Mr. Leo Fonseka, a consultant appointed by the World Bank. The strategy is a comprehensive, four-pronged framework aimed at improving the technical capacity of the CMC and promoting social responsibility, economic buoyancy, and administrative justice in the city.

The CDS is the first of its kind in the history of Colombo, emphasizing participatory, consultative planning involving a wide range of stakeholders, including the private sector, civil society organizations, and state agencies. It outlines a holistic approach to city development, focusing on economic productivity, social needs, environmental protection, and poverty reduction.

Main Objectives

The strategy aims to:

Enhance economic productivity of the city.
Respond to social sector needs.
Reduce poverty in the city.
Develop and improve the environment.
Ensure access to basic urban services.

Key Result Areas (KRAs)

The strategy identifies four Key Result Areas as the pillars of development:

Responding to Social Sector Needs
Increasing Productivity & Economic Buoyancy
Developing Environment, Infrastructure and Amenities
Reducing Poverty

Each KRA requires specific systemic responses such as:

Increased management efficiency
Focus on under-serviced, environmentally sensitive and heritage areas
Private-public partnerships
Enhanced legislative and enforcement support
Expansion and upgrading of physical and social infrastructure
Public education and awareness creation

Strategic Responses

The strategy proposes several strategic responses to address the identified KRAs:

Promote a port-centred economic growth for the city.
Recognize the economic importance of the informal sector and mainstream it into the city economy.
Increase the poor's capacity and accessibility to obtain lands, homes, basic services, and income opportunities.
Create an environmentally friendly society and improve the city's environmental quality.
Ensure easy and affordable access to basic urban services.

These interventions are supported by managerial actions such as:

Human resource development
Civil society participation
Law reforms and their effective enforcement
Optimizing use of available assets
Policy coordination
Skills development and incentives
