How to Formulate a National Urban Policy – A practical Guide

The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda (NUA) has provided strong rationale for countries to embark on developing and implementing inclusive and participatory National Urban Policies (NUP) and urban frameworks. This Guide provides a framework for undertaking the formulation of a NUP. It provides practical steps and a coordinated process to formulate an urban policy that adheres to five key principles: participation, inclusion, affordability, sustainability and implementability.
