International Guidelines on Urban And Territorial Planning - UN Habitat

UN-Habitat has released guidelines to provide national governments, local authorities, civil society organizations and planning professionals with a global reference framework that promotes more compact, socially inclusive, better integrated and connected cities and territories that foster sustainable urban development and are resilient to climate change.

The Information Document comprises a sample of 26 international experiences in urban and territorial planning that have been developed by the Expert Group and its associated networks.

These guidelines provides a cross section of inventive, ambitious and unique cases that address common issues of urban and territorial development and highlights successful examples of how urban and territorial planning can reshape countries and regions towards more sustainable development.
