This project was prepared as a follow-on to two previous urban development projects in Calcutta but with a stronger than before emphasis on institutional and financial reforms. The project proved too complex with an overly optimistic implementation schedule. Its components spread through four sub-programs, involving five major metropolitan organixations, 37 municipalities and a number of local level governments. - After a delay of three years, only about two thirds of the project's physical comporsnto were completed. Main reasons for the delay and less than full-scale completion are project design problems, land acquisit.io, and procurement complexities. Achievement of institutional and policy objectives were very limited. There were no improvtments in cost recovery. Overall, the project outcome is Tated as unsatiesfactory mostly on account of its failure to make progress in institutional and financial aspects, expected from a ropeater project. Its institutional achievements are rated as negligible, and the sustainability of its benefits as unlikely. The Project Completion Report is of good quality. It provides an interesting discussion on the complexity of the project and related implementation issues. The project may be audited.
