Sikkim Integrated Urban Development Project

About this project

The project will (i) improve sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban services and mobility through infrastructure investment; and (ii) build the state's capacity for integrated urban planning and sustainable service delivery. Based on a gap analysis undertaken by the Urban Development Department (UDD) and Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), seven towns are prioritized for the proposed urban infrastructure investment (i.e., Gangtok, Gyalshing, Mangan, Pakyong, Rangpo, Singtam, and Soreng towns). The project aims to strengthen climate-resilient and smart water and sanitation infrastructure by improving water supply systems in Gangtok, Pakyong, Rangpo, and Singtam, focusing on reducing nonrevenue water and ensuring continuous supply. Sanitation infrastructure enhancements will include sewerage networks in core areas along with fecal sludge management for the remaining areas of Pakyong, Rangpo, Singtam, and Soreng, and inundation control in critically affected areas across all the seven project towns. Urban mobility will be improved by (i) upgrading roads; (ii) establishing road asset management system; (iii) improving stormwater drains, footpaths, and streetlights; and (iv) establishing transit hubs with gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) responsive community facilities and smart parking. The development of smart zones with smart street lighting and air pollution monitoring systems will further enhance urban livability. A riverfront development with a…
