room block and a boundary wall at the time that they are laid out. It was decided at an early stage that conventional sewerage would be the most appropriate option for the disposal of foul water and the scheme was used as a testing ground for some of the ideas described in this chapter. The project was implemented using the services of trainees at a technical training centre funded by GTZ with technical assistance provided by the author. |

Ths project is a World Bank-funded project which covers an area of about 270 ha on the outskirts of the city. Preliminary planning work on the project began in 1986 and implementation began in 1988 and was programmed to continue until 1994. The project area includes some older settlements, including one village with a history of almost 1000 years, but most of it has been developed over the last 20 years or so. Much of the area comprises informal residential settlements but there is also a considerable amount of industry and commerce. Rights of way are generally narrow with most residential lanes being about 3 m in width. Through routes, although narrow, often carry heavy traffic from factories and workshops. The project was implemented by a special cell formed within the Metropolitan Planning Wing of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA). The author's firm, Gilmore Hankey Kirke, provided technical assistance in the early years of the project, but in 1988 the role of consultants was expanded to include all responsibility for detailed design and the preparation of contract documents and an advisory role on implementation. Many of the standards and procedures referred to in this chapter were established in the course of this project. |
