Administrative and Policy Level Comparison : Pune versus Dubai

Author(s) Mr Vikas Navanath Dhakane, Dr Siddharth Jabade
Country India
Abstract How do cities determine how to manage themselves? This question may seem rather straightforward, yet analysis of its answer is highly revealing about underlying attitudes toward citizen engagement versus administrative efficiency. Urban governance systems evolve from political culture, historical institution-building, and societal value considerations cultivated through a social environment. This discussion will address such considerations through a review of two cities with very different systems of managing themselves: Pune, a democratic, metropolitan city in the state of Maharashtra, India, and Dubai, a centralized, emirate-level city within the United Arab Emirates. Through a consideration of how each respects city governance structure, decision-making process, role of implementation, citizen engagement, and current-day administrative considerations, a discussion of how such different systems might be implemented by each city will be attempted. While each of the cities, Pune and Dubai, seeks to modernize and offer necessary services for their citizens, it is apparent that one follows a set of administration fundamentals that are opposite another. While Pune follows a system respecting deliberative decision-making, electoral representation, and a separation of governing authority, Dubai respects a system with emphasis on speedy administration, central coordination, and a common goal-strategy. For either system, one might properly question a superiority principle. Rather, it is a function of a proper set of administration fundamentals to decide how a system places value upon decision-making and implementation versus citizen engagement and accountabilities. Through a look at Pune and Dubai, much about questions underlying a system for governing cities in the modern, second-first century might become apparent.
