Under the JNNURM Delhi submitted its City Development Plan (CDP) to the Government of India without any consultations on the CDP with the people of Delhi. As a starting point, Centre for Civil Society has brought out the citizen's critique of the CDP with the help of various experts. The comments of these experts are not the final word on the CDP but are a part of the consultative process that we hope the Delhi government will take forward.

Contributors to the Critique

Mr. Abhijit Roy (Independent Consultant), Ms. Alpana Kishore (NDPA), Ms. Anvita Anand (TRIPP, IIT-Delhi), Ms. Bharati Chaturvedi (Chintan), Prof. Dinesh Mohan (TRIPP, IIT-Delhi), Mr. Dunu Roy (Hazards Centre), Prof. E.F.N. Ribeiro (Frederick Ribeiro Associates), Prof. Geetam Tiwari (TRIPP, IIT-Delhi), Mr. Jagan Shah (Architect & Historian), Ms. Kalyani Menon-Sen (Jagori), Dr. Nalini Thakur (SPA), Mr. Ravi Kaimal (Architect), Dr. Renu Khosla (CURE), Mr. Sanjay Kaul (URJA), Dr. Satpal Singh (PRIA), Ms. Shipra Bhatia (Hazards Centre), Prof. Shreekant Gupta (Delhi University), Prof. Subir Paul (Ecogroup)
