3 1. Mandate and Alignment with Global Agendas and UN- Habitat Strategic Plan Development of the International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning approved by UN- Habitat Governing Council (res. 25/6 of 23 April 2015) 2. Implementation and Monitoring of the Guidelines Overview
4 Introduction: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN URBAN PLANNING FAILS? ECONOMIC SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL Loss of economies of urbanization Loss of agglomeration benefits Loss of job opportunities, especially for the youth Socio-economic segregation Mobility & transport breakdown Lack of access to energy & clean water Lack of public health and increased safety risks Sprawl induced stress on land & food resources Vulnerability to impacts of climate change Loss of biodiversity and the vital system functions it supports Mass Housing in Ixtapaluca, Mexico 4

7 1. Mandate and Alignment with Global Agendas and UN-Habitat Strategic Plan
8 Background and Objective Different types and approaches of urban and territorial planning exist and have been tested worldwide without simple and universally agreed principles to guide decision makers towards sustainable urban development. The International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning (IG-UTP) intend to constitute a global framework for improving policies, plans and designs for more compact, socially inclusive, better integrated and connected cities and territories that foster sustainable urban development and are resilient to climate change. The IG-UTP complement two sets of International Guidelines previously adopted by the Governing Council of UN-Habitat: Decentralisation and Strengthening of Local Authorities (2007); Access to Basic Services for All (2009). These Guidelines have been used as a reference framework in a number of countries to catalyze policy and institutional reforms and leverage partnerships.
9 Mandate: Resolution 24/3 of UN-Habitat GC (19 April 2013) OP4. Requests the Executive Director of UN-Habitat in consultation with the Committee of Permanent Representatives to initiate the elaboration of international guidelines on urban and territorial planning and to present the draft guidelines to the Governing Council at its twenty-fifth session for approval; OP8. Requests the Executive Director of the UN-Habitat, in consultation with the Committee of Permanent Representatives, in the drafting of international guidelines on urban and territorial planning to engage in an inclusive consultative process in order to inform the drafting process with best practices and lessons learned from different contexts and at different scales.
10 Alignment with Global Agendas Post / SDGs Other UN Agendas Habitat III The Future We Want, 2012 (para 134): We recognize that, if they are well planned and developed, including through integrated planning and management approaches, cities can promote economically, socially and environmentally sustainable societies. Post-2015 / SDG-11: Several Goals and Targets (see next slides) Habitat III: Urban Agenda, 2016 Other UN Agendas (eg: 3 rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction) The IG-UTP will inform and contribute to the preparatory process of Habitat III and the implementation of the SDGs
11 Alignment with Global Agendas: Rio+20 and SDGs Rio+20 Outcome Document: The Future We Want (paragraph 134): We recognize that, if they are well planned and developed, including through integrated planning and management approaches, cities can promote economically, socially and environmentally sustainable societies. The UNGA, under the SDGs, adopted on 25 September 2015 a goal on Making Cities and Human Settlements Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable, known as SDG-11, with 7 action targets and 3 means of implementation (MOI) targets.
12 SDG-11 Targets GOAL Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable Housing/Slums/ Services Transport (incl. Public Transport) Urban Planning CORE TARGETS (OUTCOME-ORIENTED) Cultural Heritage Disaster Risk Reduction Environmental Impact Safe Public Space MOI TARGETS (PROCESS-ORIENTED) Rural-Urban Linkages Policies/Plans (incl. Resilience) Financial/Tech Assistance

21 Resolution 25/6 of UN-Habitat GC (23 April 2015) OP1. Approves the international guidelines on urban and territorial planning as a valuable guide towards the achievement of sustainable development; OP2. Encourages member States to consider UTP principles outlined in the guidelines while developing, reviewing and implementing their national urban policies and UTP frameworks; OP4. Requests UN-Habitat to assist interested member States in using and adapting the guidelines to their territorial and national contexts.
22 Structure of the Guidelines Key Urban and Territorial Planning (UTP) principles organized along 4 main pillars: 1 1. URBAN POLICY AND GOVERNANCE 2.a 2.b 2.c 2. UTP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2.a UTP and Social Development 2.b UTP and Sustained Economic Growth 2.b UTP and the Environment 3 & 4 3. UTP COMPONENTS 4. IMPLEMENTATION OF UTP Action-oriented recommendations for stakeholders involved in urban and territorial planning (national and local authorities, CSOs, professionals)
23 Key Principles of the Guidelines 1/3 1. Urban and Territorial Planning is more than a technical tool; it is an integrative and participatory decision-making process that addresses competing interests and is linked to a shared vision, an overall development strategy as well as national, regional and local urban policies. 2. Urban and Territorial Planning represents a core component of the renewed urban governance paradigm which aims at promoting local democracy, participation and inclusion, transparency and accountability, with a view to ensuring sustainable urbanization and spatial quality. 3. Urban and Territorial Planning primarily aims at realizing adequate standards of living and working conditions of all segments of present and future society and at ensuring equitable distribution of the costs, opportunities and benefits of urban development, and particularly at promoting social inclusion and cohesion. 4. Urban and Territorial Planning constitutes an essential investment in the future and a pre-condition to better quality of life and successful globalization processes that have to respect cultural heritages and cultural diversity and to recognize the distinct needs of various groups. Urban Policy & Governance UTP & Social Development
24 Key Principles of the Guidelines 2/3 5. Urban and Territorial Planning is a catalyst for sustained and inclusive economic growth through providing a framework for new economic opportunities, regulation of land and housing markets and timely provision of adequate infrastructure and basic services. 6. Urban and Territorial Planning constitutes a powerful decision-making mechanism to ensure that sustained economic growth, social development and environmental sustainability go hand in hand and to promote better connectivity at all territorial levels. 7. Urban and Territorial Planning provides a spatial framework to protect and manage the natural and built environment of cities and territories, including biodiversity, land and natural resources, and to ensure integrated and sustainable development. 8. Urban and Territorial Planning contributes to increase human security by strengthening environmental and socio-economic resilience, enhancing mitigation and adaptation to climate change, and improving the management of natural and environmental risks and hazards. UTP & Sustained Economic Growth UTP & the Environment
25 Key Principles of the Guidelines 3/3 9. Urban and Territorial Planning combines several spatial, institutional and financial dimensions over a variety of time horizons and geographical scales. It is a continuous and iterative process, grounded in enforceable regulations, thataimsatpromoting more compact cities and synergies between territories. 10. Urban and Territorial Planning includes spatial planning which aims at facilitating and articulating political decisions based on different scenarios. It translates these decisions into actions that will transform the physical and social space and support the development of integrated cities and territories. 11. Adequate implementation of urban and territorial plans in all their dimensions requires political leadership, appropriate legal and institutional frameworks, efficient urban management, improved coordination, and consensus-building approaches to respond coherently and effectively to current and future challenges; 12. Effective Urban and Territorial Planning implementation and evaluation requires in particular continuous monitoring and periodic adjustments and sufficient capacities at all levels, as well as sustainable financial mechanisms and technologies.
