Urbanization. Goal 14 requires provisions for the orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities. Policies 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 41 and 42 of the CFP address urbanization within the Regional Urban Growth Boundary. The CDC implements the urbanization policies by establishing standards to promote appropriate urban development. The Community Plans implement the urbanization policies by designating sufficient land for appropriate development. The UGB was last expanded in 1998 to include lands surrounding King City. The expansion was subsequently acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). The County relies on the findings acknowledged by LCDC to demonstrate compliance with Goal 14. Ordinance No. 836 does not add any land to the UGB or urbanize any land. The UPAA with King City provides a process, policies and requirements for coordinating concept planning in the designated Urban Reserve Area in order to provide for the orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land uses. Goal 14 will apply to future decisions to add Urban Reserve lands to the UGB or when lands are annexed in the city’s Urban Planning Area as identified in Exhibit A, the King City Urban Planning Area map Ordinance No. 836 is consistent with Goal 14.

Urbanization. Urban India is undergoing explosive population growth, among others, due to greater economic opportunities.1 It is estimated that by the year 2011, urban areas will contribute about 65 percent to gross domestic product (GDP). However, this higher productivity is contingent upon the availability and quality of infrastructure services. Urban economic activities are dependent on infrastructure such as power, telecom, roads, water supply, mass transportation, solid waste management, among others. The urban infrastructure and basic services are under severe stress due to the increasing demand. Urban infrastructure by nature is complex and more difficult to scale-up compared to other infrastructure. Cities are unable to cope with the urban infrastructure demand because of weak municipal financial and institutional capacities to execute infrastructure project. While on one hand tariffs for urban basic services are low, the public good nature of large share of urban infrastructures makes them untenable for user fees. The perceived high and real risks of urban infrastructure investments make private investors wary and therefore private equity investments have been limited in urban infrastructure. The role of government assumes greater significance for urban infrastructure services given the sectors risks and challenges.
