The main thrust of the City Development Plan (CDP) is on major infrastructure projects relating to water supply, sanitation, sewerage, solid waste management, road network, urban transportation and re-development of inner (old) city areas. The vision is upgradation of infrastructure, development of heritage areas, drains/storm water drains and preservation of water bodies.

The choice of Nashik as the venue for the 20th IPC by IPA is appropriate for various reasons:(a) it happens during Nashik’s rapid developmental stage (b) it coincides with the city’s vision of growth (c) it complements the city’s aim of providing better plumbing

installations, safer sanitation practices and water management. IPA has aptly chosen the Conference’s theme as “Plumbing Systems for Emerging Modern Cities”. The Conference will be held at Hotel Express Inn, Nashik on September 10 & 11, 2015.
