Project Objectives The Project Development Objective is to reduce the urban pollution generated from wastewater and solid waste through their proper collection, treatment and disposal in the selected second-tier cities, mainly located in the Han River areas of Hubei Province. This will be achieved by undertaking high priority investments in selected project cities in wastewater collection and treatment systems and solid waste management systems, as well as institutional reforms and capacity development in the areas of municipal utilities reforms and water pollution control. As its secondary objective, the project is intended to develop well-managed and sustainable municipal utilities which could be referred to as models/best practice for other similar projects or programs to be implemented under the Provincial 11th Five-year Plan. 3.
