Innovations in Land Management and Land Use Planning to Support Land Policy Reforms and Green Growth Transformation of UzbekistanBasic InformationGrant ID: K-194 Country: Uzbekistan Region: Europe and Central Asia Sector: Urban Grant Year: Year 10 Grant Title: Innovations in Land Management and Land Use Planning to Support Land Policy Reforms and Green Growth Transformation of Uzbekistan Approved Grant Amount: $500000.00 Product Line and P-Code: Lending, P162929 TTLs: Rosanni Nitti, Nadege Orlova Grant Start/Completion: March 20, 2023 - December 31, 2024Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe objective of the requested Grant is to support the achievement of the project PDO by supporting the land reform to ensure that the current challenges in land management and forward-looking land-use planning do not become barriers to the creation of urban land markets and efficient delivery of urban infrastructure and services. To this end, the Grant will aim to (1) provide support and capacity building to the public stakeholders of the land sector by promoting environmental, economic and social sustainability of land for sustainable urban development; and (2) provide institutional, analytical, and knowledge-sharing support to the dialogue on land and urbanization reforms between the Government of Uzbekistan and the World Bank. The grant would contribute to the green resilient and inclusive development (GRID) by enabling sustainable economic and social transformations, through efficient allocation and use of land resources. The grant is well aligned with the “Green” Pillar of the WB GRID framework and will provide support and capacity building to the public stakeholders of the land sector by promoting environmental, economic and social sustainability of land for sustainable urban development. It will also support the design and preparation of a proposed new investment operation in Uzbekistan that would build upon both the experience of the ongoing Medium-size Cities Integrated Urban Development Project and that of the “Modernization of Real Property Registration and Cadastre Project” (closing in August 2023) to support the ongoing land reforms in the country through improved land management in support of sustainable and green urbanization models. The design of this integrated land management pilot intervention would be based on the good international practices of such type of reforms to demonstrate how improved land management practices in Uzbekistan could lead to a more efficient and greener urbanization. List of ActivitiesAcitivty 1. Building institutional capacity through piloting of Integrated Land Management and streamlining urban land market-creation process - This Activity will aim to build the capacities of relevant government agencies responsible for urban land reform using supporting them in the development of a modern land management system and instruments, and apply them in the design of implementable pilots that could ground-test the proposed approaches and instruments to initiate an iterative learning process that would support the scale-up at country level of the urban land reform. Activity 2: Technical assistance and knowledge-sharing to inform the preparation of a potential new investment project on Urban Land Management and Green Urbanization - This activity will aim to inform the design and preparation of a proposed new investment operation in Uzbekistan that would build upon both the experience of the ongoing Medium-size Cities Integrated Urban Development Project and that of the “Modernization of Real Property Registration and Cadastre Project”. The project is already included in the Country Partnership Framework 2022-2026 and would be expected to support the ongoing land reform in the country through improved land management in support of sustainable and green urbanization models. Outputs and OutcomesBoth activities to be financed by the KGGTF will support and complement Component 2 of the MSCIUDP for Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building for Sustainable Urbanization, and its subcomponents 2.A and 2.B. The project implementation so far demonstrated that sustainable and green urbanization Uzbekistan is hindered by outdated land management systems, complete lack of urban land markets and absence of modern instruments for efficient mobilization of urban land for sustainable urban development. Weak and outdated/Soviet-era land management and planning tools are also contributing to inefficient urban sprawl and backlog in expansion of urban services and infrastructure. Eventually, the expected outcomes from the program would include a direct contribution to the holistic roadmap of land reform for the government or Uzbekistan and support to operationalize such roadmap through a pilot project that would demonstrate innovative country models for improved land management in support of sustainable and green urbanization. Collaboration with K-Partners and OthersIn implementing the proposed grant, the World Bank will be working closely with Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), Korea Real Estate Board (KREB), National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) and Korea Land and Geospatial InformatiX Corporation (LX). The proposed program will include a number of capacity-building and knowledge-sharing events with LH and KREB for its input in the valuation of the real estate and land for developing new towns in areas like coordination among agencies on ICT systems and big data gathering to strengthen resilience, citizen participation for better public service, and real estate development for various purposes. Moreover, the TA will also include discussion sessions with experts in the Presidential Committee for Balanced National Development which will be able to share its vision and history that provided the groundwork for the implementation of projects carried out by such organizations like LH. For the activities related to the NSDI the team intends to collaborate with National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) and Korea Land and Geospatial InformatiX Corporation (LX).

Bamako is the world’s 6th fastest growing city, but it is not fulfilling its role as an engine of sustainable urban growth and service delivery. The city’s population rise averaged 5.4% between 1998 and 2009 and is expected to reach 4.2 million by 2025. Urban sprawl has been associated with unequal access to basic services and limited mobility, mostly due to the absence of adequate investments in infrastructure. There is also a lack of institutionalized support that hinders development, significantly limits access to high-quality disaggregated data, and hampers technical capabilities and administrative coordination. In consequence there are barriers to creating well-informed, inclusive urban planning, and implementing knowledge of green approaches to infrastructure. The activities proposed under this grant will inform the metropolitan-wide urban planning process and capability building. They will support the Bamako Urban Master Plan through completion of feasibility studies for green infrastructure, technical assistance, creation of a comprehensive data platform and rapid area-based diagnostics.

Improving Solid Waste Management in African CitiesBasic InformationGrant ID: K-103 Country: Sub-Saharan Africa Region: Africa Sector: Urban Grant Year: Year 5 Grant Title: Improving Solid Waste Management in African Cities Approved Grant Amount: $500000.00 Product Line and P-Code: ASA, P155467 TTLs: Ines Gutierrez (Sector Leader) Grant Start/Completion: January 15, 2018~ June 30, 2021Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe objective of this grant is to support decision-makers in African cities identify and implement sector policies, institutional reforms, and sustainable financing mechanisms to improve solid waste management across the entire waste management system. As urban populations grow in cities across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), solid waste management (SWM) is becoming increasingly challenging. Low-income countries in SSA face problems at nearly every level of the waste management value chain – from lack of proper infrastructure and inadequate collection system to financial and regulatory impediments. Without adequate collection or disposal options, garbage is typically burned or openly dumped. Resulting in air pollution and contributing to global climate change, clogging waterways, attracting vermin, contributing to the spread of disease, damaging the environment, and negatively impacting quality of life, particularly for poor and vulnerable populations. Building on previous activities, which resulted in pipeline lending projects in Senegal and Mauritania, the program will engage an additional three countries in the region to collect municipal-level data on a number of key parameters, offer recommendations on different aspects of waste management, and develop case studies to share information between cities with similar challenges. This program will benefit from completed and ongoing activities supported by KGGTF in years 2 and 3. It will expand on previous projects, as well as draw from policy notes based on Korea’s experience designing and implementing transformational waste management policies and technologies in the SWM sector. The grant will benefit from previously funded capacity building for African officials who joined study tours and targeted workshops in Korea, taking this work to the next stage where investment opportunities can be mainstreamed to boost inclusive green growth in these cities.

Greening Urban Growth in Metropolitan Buenos AiresBasic InformationGrant ID: K-107 Country: Argentina Region: Latin America & Caribbean Sector: Urban Grant Year: Year 5 Grant Title: Greening Urban Growth in Metropolitan Buenos Aires Approved Grant Amount: $300000.00 Product Line and P-Code: Lending, P159843 TTLs: Catherine Lynch (Senior Urban Specialist) Grant Start/Completion: October 11, 2017~December 31, 2019Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe objective of this grant is to support the Argentine Government to implement policies and investments to improve regional disparities and promote integrated infrastructure and transport planning. Argentina is a country of cities, with 90% of its population living in urban areas. However, the country has yet to experience the benefits of urbanization. Urban sprawl and the large volume of informal settlements means that many citizens are unable to move efficiently and access economic opportunities. This KGGTF funded program will support the development of preparatory and structuring studies of key infrastructure components to upgrade and redevelop the Regional Express Passenger Railway Network (RER) for the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. This comprehensive strategy will set the framework to redevelop the transportation infrastructure by intensifying and improving the connectivity of the entire network. In particular, the plan will include the building of new tunnels, stations, overpasses, electrification of key lines, new rolling stock and multimodal transfer facilities. Key elements of the strategy will be substantial GHG emission reductions and improved access to transportation and jobs for 40% of urban residents. This program will additionally examine potential solutions to triple the current participation of rail cargo by assessing alternatives such as dry ports connected by road and rail. Argentina is committed to replicating successful projects from Buenos Aires to other cities across the country. Because of Seoul’s expertise in bus-based public transport and non-motoroized infrastructure, the Government of Argentina is further interested in support for the creation of preparatory studies for scaling up bicycle paths, pedestrian corridors and establishing an additional 20 Metrobus corridors. It is expected that successful projects will be replicated throughout other cities in Argentina and across Latin America. This grant is linked to Lending ($200,000,000) List of Activities
