Sub-National Urban Policy


Other Documents



The development of sub-national urban policies offers sub-national governments the opportunity to target their urban agenda according to the problems and needs of each territory, be that at city or regional level. The practice of sub-national governance is forging a new model of urban development that coherently integrates the national and sub-national purpose with more localized challenges. This makes more efficient multilevel governance and decentralizes skills and resources to achieve equity, well-being and shared prosperity in an urbanizing world.This guide provides a conceptual and methodological framework for those involved in sub-national government. It outlines the concept of such a framework, its objectives and the policies responses at sub-national levels. It also features a comprehensive look at the five phases of sub-national urban policy development and outlines the roles and responsibilities of the actors tasked with implementing the sub-national urban policy.
