Abstract : Pune, a rapid urbanizing city, has seen a significant surge in redevelopment project driven by population growth, economic expansion, and the need for the modern infrastructure. Primarily redevelopment involves, transformation of aging and underutilized structures and areas into modern, efficient, sustainable, & technologically advanced structures. Pune’s fast-growing suburbs facing challenges of increased waste generation due to increased redevelopment projects. The study evaluates existing policies, laws, and regulations governing waste management in Pune, identifying gaps in implementation and enforcement through the analysis of primary data from interview with professionals and secondary data sources, like research papers, reports, and websites. The research aims to analyze current Demolition Waste Management Practices & highlight the shortcomings of current practices and identify the scope of improvement. Data was sourced through interviews, research papers, books and analyzed by author. The analysis revealed that lack of awareness, lack of record & a smaller number of solutions for C&D waste management is creating more difficult for its execution. No policy or rules & regulations are carried out on ground zero. The findings suggest Pune should grow more focus on sustainable practices, especially for efficiently managing demolition waste and promoting a circular economy. More awareness should be created and new solution on a large scale should be made possible to apply in practical life.

Keywords : Demolition Waste, Waste Management, Concrete and Masonry, Reuse and Recycle, Legislation and Guidelines, Circular Economy.
