Urban Development Department signs MoU with SPA Delhi

Lucknow, May 29 (UNI) In a step toward strengthening urban development in Uttar Pradesh, the Urban Development Department signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Delhi, official sources said here on Thursday.
Sources said that the agreement was formalised at the Directorate of Urban Local Bodies in Lucknow, under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. "This initiative, supported by Tata Trusts, falls under the Urban Development Department’s Akanshi Nagar Yojana and aims to address the challenges faced by smaller urban local bodies in urban planning training and capacity building. For this, the Department will run special training programs for the officials of local urban bodies in collaboration with SAP, Delhi," they said.
Sources said that this initiative is an important step towards addressing the lack of urban planning expertise in smaller towns of UP. "Following CM Yogi's, the goal is to ensure that cities in the state grow in a sustainable and inclusive manner. The effort focuses on building a strong network of trained urban managers to deal with the unique challenges faced by smaller urban local bodies, such as infrastructure development, resource management and sustainable growth," they said.
