Under the Indo German Bilateral Development Cooperation, the focal areas currently are:

• Energy;
• Environment and Management of Natural Resources; and
• Sustainable Urban Development

The project Climate Smart Cities is funded under the “International Climate Initiative” of the Federal Ministry of Environment Natural Resources and Nuclear Safety (BMU), Government of Germany and supports the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) Government of India and 3 cities of Coimbatore, Kochi and Bhubaneswar. The overall objective of the project is that “climate friendly solutions for urban infrastructure supply and urban development are anchored in the planning and implementation of projects within the framework of the Indian government’s Smart Cities Programme”. The project will primarily focus on the sectors of solid waste management, wastewater management, water supply including water management, storm water management, building energy efficiency/green buildings, urban green cover and renewable energy. Selected measures from the focus sectors with climate adaptation and mitigation potential will be identified for each city which will be further supported for implementation under this project.

Objective of this assignment:

The objective of the assignment is to understand the hierarchy, quality, and network of the green spaces in Coimbatore and propose a framework to develop the urban green network of the city. The study should especially focus on residential areas, mixed-used areas, commercial areas and should also consider wastelands and brownfields within the city. Also, the connections to regional natural networks and their relevance for urban climate – catchment areas for water and fresh air, cooling effects, recreational potentials– should be highlighted. It is envisaged that the analysis will lead to further development of targeted recommendations and development of urban green concept at the city level that could be implemented in the coming years.
