A quick Thematic Guide for Mainstreaming Safe, Inclusive and Accessible Public Spaces into National Urban Policies

Public spaces are a vital ingredient for successful cities. They help build a sense of community, civic identity and culture. They facilitate social capital, economic development and community revitalization. They not only improve the quality of life but are a first step towards civic empowerment and greater access to civic empowerment, institutional and political spaces. For effective creation, protection and management of public spaces as a means to generate wealth, improve wellbeing and advance urban productivity, they need to be fully integrated into the National Urban Policies, which touches on all aspects of the New Urban Agenda (NUA). The guide “Addressing Public Space in Implementation of National Urban Policies,” contains action-oriented Recommendations that can assist all National Urban Policy and Public Space stakeholders to better understand the relationship between the two and consequently how Public Spaces can be mainstreamed in development of National Urban Policies.
