International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning

Approved by UN-Habitat in April, these new Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning are intended to inform the New Urban Agenda and the unfolding Sustainable Development Goals. They will act as a compass for decision makers and urban professionals while developing urban and territorial planning frameworks. The drafting of the Guidelines was supported by an Expert Group through a broad-based consultative and participatory process and based on evidence, good practices and lessons learnt from different contexts and at different planning scales.
