The dying cities of Sindh

As of late the Supreme Court-commanded commission on water and sanitation in Sindh communicated genuine reservations that town arranging couldn't be alloted to the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) as it is a body required to direct development of structures. This has featured a substantial point and brought up a few issues: Who is in charge of town arranging? What is the power and capacity of the town arranging experts and their purview? The requirement for progressively qualified proficient urban organizers in our arranging and advancement experts additionally comes into core interest.

Things are quickly changing in Sindh because of populace increments and the interest for all the more lodging, business and mechanical land, recreational chances and framework. As of now, Sukkur, Hyderabad and other significant urban communities and towns don't have long haul extensive and composed land-use designs. Therefore, the urban communities are confronting serious social, monetary and natural difficulties, for example, lodging deficiency, absence of open spaces and air contamination. 

By and large, we continue contrasting our urban areas and Western ones which offer a superior personal satisfaction for their subjects. The purposes for all around arranged and practical urban areas is a legitimate structure of arranging and improvement specialists and qualified urban organizers working in the general population and private parts. In Western nations, the arranging and improvement exercises are engaged to nearby districts by the region through the Planning Act. Every region has an arranging office and urban organizers are assuming their dynamic job to shape the urban areas and accomplish the objective of reasonable and versatile network. 

Tragically, the arranging and urban arranging calling is the most disregarded subject in Sindh. From 1997 to 2018, upwards of 22 clusters with 330 organizers have moved on from Mehran University, Sindh. Tragically, no urban organizer opportunity has been reported at the common and metropolitan dimension for the last 10 to 15 years. Contrasted with Western nations, Sindh is greater than Canada as far as populace. Canada's aggregate populace is 36.71 million while the number of inhabitants in Sindh is 47 million. Be that as it may, the qualified proficient organizers working in Canada are 7,000 enlisted proficient organizers with the Canadian Institute of Planner, and a great many them are working in the general population segment. Be that as it may, in Sindh, just 10 to 15 qualified organizers are working in arranging and improvement specialists. While in Punjab, there are in excess of 1,200 qualified organizers working at the common and metropolitan dimension. 

There is have to decentralize and engage the arranging specialist to nearby districts, and choose qualified proficient organizers in the general population division on a crisis premise as opposed to having a solitary expert for the entire area to deal with arranging issues and network needs. In Sindh, there can be two-level arranging specialists, for example, at area or territorial dimension and taluka or region level. Area or local dimension experts can be in charge of making proposals, managing and directing network advancement and development in the district, and dealing with how the locale's territory and assets are utilized. Taluka or metropolitan dimension arranging specialists can be in charge of improvement application endorsement and the long-go plans, for example, the Municipal Development Plan which gives strategy and rules to private advancement, nearby chamber and organization, and create and actualize zoning standing rules. The current common Town Planning Department can be dependable to set the tenets for land-use arranging through Provincial Policy Statement, direct how all regions execute them and function with nearby governments and accomplices crosswise over Sindh to fabricate protected and solid urban and rustic networks with dynamic neighborhood economies, and a high caliber of life for everybody.
