UN-Habitat, in cooperation with institutional
partners, has initiated this Global Public Space Toolkit is a friendly guide to
provide cities, and particularly those with high rates of demographic growth
and limited financial resources, with actionable ideas on how to find resources
and solutions for improving the availability, quality and distribution of good
public spaces. This Toolkit is intended to be a practical reference for cities
to concretize principles, policies and development plans on public space.
The aim of this toolkit is to guide policies
and strategies at city level and to provide examples linking policies to
practices. This volume of the Public Space Toolkit is a first step which will
be complemented in future with additional material and tools.
