======The New Urban Agenda- Illustrated====== The New Urban Agenda emphasizes the importance of sustainable urban development, focusing on social, economic, and environmental sustainability, as well as spatial sustainability. It advocates for inclusive cities with equal access to services, infrastructure, and opportunities, and highlights the need for innovation and technology in urban planning and governance. The Agenda also stresses the importance of culture, education, health, and safety in urban environments, promoting the protection of cultural heritage and the provision of quality public services. It calls for investment in infrastructure and service provision systems, including transportation, energy, solid waste management, water, and sanitation, to improve urban resilience and quality of life. The Agenda encourages national urban policies, land policies, housing and slum upgrading policies, urban legislation and regulations, urban design, and municipal finance as key intervention mechanisms for achieving its goals. ^ Quick Facts ^^ | Report location: |[[https://unhabitat.org/knowledge/research-and-publications| source]] | | Language: | English | | Publisher: |[[encyclopedia:un_habitat_assembly|UN Habitat Assembly]] | | Authors: |Claudio Acioly, Raphaelle Vignol, Asa Jonsson | | Geographic focus: |global | | Page count: |194 | =====Methods===== =====Key Insights===== =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>equity}} | {{tag>global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>inclusion}} | {{tag>infrastructure}} | {{tag>legislation}} | {{tag>poverty_reduction}} | {{tag>resiliency}} | {{tag>sustainability}} | {{tag>sustainable_development}} | {{tag>urban_governance}} | {{tag>urban_transformation}} | {{tag>urbanisation}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
