Regional & Urban Development
EXPERTISE
PCI has collaborated with many nations in regional development planning targeting poverty reduction, economic growth, correction of income disparity between regions, uplifting of living standards, sustainable development, etc. Our development master plans aim to balance the objectives of economic development, social development and environmental management, and to make best use of tangible and intangible resources by use of GIS as a visual planning tool and through involvement with stakeholders. Based on the analysis of development potentials, constraints of local resource endowment and development issues, we have formulated development scenarios and strategies, and proposed many appropriate projects and programs.
PCI has also contributed to planning better urban settings to meet the growing demand for socio-economic activities in rapidly urbanizing areas, with landuse plans, redevelopment plans, public utilities/facilities plans, residential development plans, new town development plans, etc. In past years, we have created new town development plans in countries like Kuwait, Vietnam and Indonesia.
In urban development strategy programs, we have helped local governments to build their capacity to contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development through workshops to inspire the participation and ownership by local stakeholders, as in the World Bank's Proposed City Development Strategy Program.
