7. City profile CITIES 1.B HISTORY:
Madhya Pradesh is the second largest Indian state in size with an area of 308,000 sq. kms. When India got her independence in 1947, the former British Central Provinces and Berar and the princely states of Makrai and Chhattisgarh were made a separate state with Nagpur as the capital. In 1956, the states of Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh, and Bhopal were merged into Madhya Pradesh, and the Marathi-speaking southern region Vidarbha, which included Nagpur, was ceded to Bombay state. Then Bhopal became the new capital of Madhya Pradesh. In November 2000, as part of the Madhya Pradesh Reorganization Act, the south eastern portion of the state was carved out to form the new state of Chhattisgarh with a large tribal population. 
The completion of 1000 years of coronation of Raja Bhoj, a king of the Parmar dynasty, was marked by the unveiling of a massive statue of Raja Bhoj, the legendary king who used to rule over Bhopal in central India more than a millennium ago, was installed in the city’s iconic Upper Lake on a bastion of Fatehgarh Fort erected in the 18th Century by Dost Mohammed Khan, the first nawab of Bhopal. The vital statistics of the statue are quite impressive. Weighing seven tons with a height of 32 feet.
TOURISM HAS ENORMOUS THE POTENTIAL IN GROWTH OF THE CITY
The uniqueness of the state arises from its rich heritage, legendary pilgrim centres, scenic beauty and unparalleled wildlife.
Tourism has contributed to 16 percent of the Net State Domestic Product(NSDP) in Madhya Pradesh for the last five years ( ).

(Brief description of major urban policies and strategies that drive the city to achieve the SDG11)
Synergy between the SDGs and New Urban Agenda: Role of Local and Regional Governments
Cities globally have been selected as test beds for implementation of the SDGs, and a successful New Urban Agenda will create an opportunity to enhance the Goals’ effectiveness. Though the 17 SDGs and their 169 targets are described as aspirational, cities are where they become tangible to regular citizens.
SDG 11 aims to make “cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.” Hence, achieving this Goal depends in part on the level of engagement of local stakeholders, regional governments, community-based organizations, academia and the business sector, as well as on adequate synergies between national and local policies. The linkages between the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda may seem apparent, but there are open questions regarding: implementation and monitoring at the local level; the importance of “localization” and the connections between political leadership and technical solutions; and the means by which local governments can find solutions at the nexus of the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs.
Localizing “SDGs” refers to accounting for subnational contexts in order to achieve the 2030 Agenda, as well as prioritizing a bottom-up approach to urban development. That is, the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda provide a policy framework within which bottom-up action from local authorities can provide support.
