Strengthening Environmental Reviews in Urban Development-Colombo Case Study

Sri Lanka is a medium sized island state with approximately 22 million people. The island has a total area of 65,610 km², with 64,740 km² of land and 870 km² of water. The coastline is 1,340 km long. After nearly 500 years of colonial rule, Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948. Though the country is rich with natural resources, development initiatives by various successive governments in the post-independence era have not borne much fruit, mainly due to the civil and communal strife that has lasted more than 25 years.
