Delhi currently houses around 17 million 1 people. The populaon has been growing with a staggering 50% each decade since 1950. Since 2000 this growth has slowed down to a sll impressive 21% or 2.800.000.000 people between 2000 and 2010. The greater Delhi urban region (Naonal Capital Region) has currently around 40 million inhabitants on 33000 sq.km., making it one of the world’s most populated regions. 1: Census India 2011: Delhi populaon: 16.753.235, NCR populaon: 43.5 million ? This increase in populaon puts immense pressure on the city in terms of energy and water supply, infrastructure and (public) space. In addion there is an even more rapid growth of the number of middle class households and their increasing demand on mobility, housing, leisure and consumer goods. Especially the middle class is becoming more and more crical on the environment they live in, since they are in a posion to choose where to live and work. It’s therefore vital for Delhi to start thinking about its ambions for the long term future. The demands of the future - the growth of the populaon, economic growth, consumpon, car use, household size etc. - cannot simply be calculated based on stascs and historical developments. Especially in today’s global economy there are countless factors which cannot be controlled. Therefore it’s important both to define long term ambions such as the desired quality of life in the city and to disnguish certain and uncertain developments. The current planning pracce in India lacks the capacity and experience to deal with the expected immense growth of populaon and prosperity, the pressures on space and the city this gives and the uncertaines of future developments. current water-related issues in Delhi: ground water depleon, monsoon floodings, insufficient treatment capacity and poluon of the river. www.rainwaterharvesng.org This was the reason that in 2009 a project was iniated to reflect on and discuss about the long term future and ambions of Delhi. Delhi 2050 invited Dutch designers, experts and planning professionals to share the experse of the Dutch century-long integrated planning tradion coined recently as The Dutch Approach. By combining this approach with Indian planning instruments and scienfic research, future scenario’s where developed, tested and debated with both a local and internaonal audience. Delhi 2050 is the starng point of formulang its ambions for the long term future. But it is only the starng point, much work sll needs to be done. Research, planning, communicaon, but most importantly execuon of all the dreams. This is all not just to turn Delhi into a sustainable and compeve metropolis but also to transform the region into a metropolitan conurbaon with a high quality of life. due to congeson people have to travel up to three hours to reach work 5
