The World Urban Campaign (WUC) is an advocacy
and partnership platform to raise awareness about positive urban change in
order to achieve green, productive, safe, healthy, inclusive, and well planned
cities. Its goal is to place the Urban Agenda at the highest level in
development policies. It is coordinated by UN-Habitat and driven by a large
number of committed partners - currently 136 partners and networks - from
around the world.
The
World Urban Campaign Partners agreed on seven principles which have been
driving the WUC and its partners since 2010. Paris Principles:
- Accessible and pro-poor land, infrastructure, services, mobility and housing;
- Socially inclusive, gender sensitive, healthy and safe development;
- Environmentally sound and carbon-efficient built environment;
- Participatory planning and decision making;
- Vibrant and competitive local economies promoting decent work and livelihoods;
- Assurance of non-discrimination and equal rights to the city; and
- Empowering cities and communities to plan for and effectively manage adversity and change.
