MEETING OBJECTIVES The objectives of the 17th Steering Committee meeting were:

i. To review the progress of World Urban Campaign activities

ii. To exchange on WUC Working Groups’ vision and objectives

iii. To reach a consensus on the global road map and plan of action proposed by the four WUC working groups

A. INTRODUCTION Ms Rose Molokoane (World Urban Campaign Steering Committee Chair, SDI) opened the meeting and

welcomed all participants1 together with Mr Sandeep Chachra (WUC Co-Chair, ActionAid India) and Ms.

Christine Auclair (WUC Project Leader). The Global Working Group formally adopted the draft agenda2. Ms.

Molokoane primarily remarked that the World Urban Campaign is an action-oriented initiative. In the

framework of the implementation of the New Urban Agenda, she emphasized the importance to gather

collective intelligence of urban thinkers through the dissemination of Urban Solutions. Ms. Molokoane

reminded that the WUC is strengthening itself through its activities to reach out to many fields, and

mobilizing its partners to create a dedicated communication system which helps to achieve campaign

objectives. She encouraged all WUC partners to reach consensus on developing a common goal and thereby

the presenting itself as a strong entity at the 9th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF9) in 2018. She

noted that this meeting will help the WUC to develop strategies in achieving the goals set in Quito.

B. WUC SECRETARIAT PROGRESS REPORT Starting with a warm welcome to all attendees, Ms. Christine Auclair (Project Leader of World Urban

Campaign, UN-Habitat) reported on the WUC Secretariat progress report3. Ms. Auclair summarized the

current status of the WUC by elaborating on the following subjects:

a) Urban Thinkers Campus Phase 1: 26 UTCs held in 2016 and have reached 7,847 participants from

2,137 organizations and 124 countries in total.

b) The City We Need: This partners’ manifesto has been published in six languages and has been widely

disseminated. It was developed through an inclusive participation process – the Urban Thinkers

Campuses - and contains 10 dedicated principles and drivers of change. The results of the Urban

Thinkers Campus Phase 1 (UTC 1.0) have been captured in comprehensive reports, all available on-

line on the WUC website. This work has been possible through the contributions of all UTC lead

organizations which have been extremely committed in the process.

c) Urban Solutions: In 2016, the WUC Secretariat has received 170 urban solutions and classified them

into five thematic innovation areas including financing, urban space, urban access and flows, pooling

and sharing. and environmental regeneration

d) Urban Thinkers Campus Phase 2: After Habitat III, the WUC adopted a stronger orientation towards

the implementation process. From November 2016 to February 2017, the WUC Secretariat received

1 Annex A: Global Working Group Meeting List of Participants 2 Annex B: Global Working Group Meeting Draft Agenda 3 Annex C: WUC Working Group Presentation


77 UTC applications4. All UTCs are geared towards action, and aim to generate their own action plans

and commitments to adopt the New Urban Agenda. In the Urban Thinkers Campus Phase 2, an

online reporting format is available.

e) Four WUC working groups5: In order to be able to implement the New Urban Agenda, four working

groups were established in Quito at Habitat III. They focus on four different areas respectively:

Urban Solutions, Implementation and Financing, Communication Outreach & Mobilization,

Monitoring and Accountability.

f) Partnerships: The WUC currently has 190 official partners (5 sponsors, 48 Lead Partners, 112

Associate Partners, 20 members and 5 Media Partners).

g) Social Media: As a strong tool for the campaign, the WUC is currently running 7 social media

channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube, Storify, Flickr).

Following by the progress report made by Ms. Auclair, Ms. Ana Moreno (Habitat III Secretariat Coordinator)

made reflections about UN-Habitat’s past, and summarized WUC’s biennium dynamic pattern from 2010 to

2016. In the post-Habitat III era, Ms. Moreno suggested that a longer perspective should be adopted for the

WUC towards the implementation of the New Urban Agenda. She also raised the question of how the WUC

can adapt to the changes and reforms on policies, structures and implementation happening in-house at UN-

Habitat. Ms. Moreno encouraged all partners to “think big” and consider the larger United Nations

framework when deliberating about the way forward for the WUC.

C. WORKING GROUPS REPORTS The WUC Working Groups meeting aimed to bring together all four WUC working groups to propose a robust

implementation road map for the World Urban Campaign in the post-Habitat III era. During the global

meeting in Nairobi, the four groups split up into parallel meetings to deliberate on their ToRs and tasks. Ms.

Molokoane suggested that each group to also suggested 3-5 action campaigns, which should then be

presented and discussed at the Working Group Plenary Session, in order for the participants to decide on a

selection.

WORKING GROUP 1 - URBAN SOLUTIONS

Chair: Nicolas You

Participants: Joyati Das (World Vision), Marc Funda (Doppelmayr), Gregor Mews (Urban Synergies Group),

Mohammed Khamis Munyanya (UIA)

Group Task: Identify priority action areas in the New Urban Agenda. Identify initiatives, policies models and

processes that represent solution areas.

Meeting Objectives: This group will adopt an analysis on the New Urban Agenda against the 10 principles of

The City We Need, and therewith identify the key areas for an action plan. The group will also reconcile its

commitments in the New Urban Agenda. The group has proposed a few small amendments to The City We

Need 2.0, which shall be discussed during the meeting.

Meeting Results:

Mr. Nicolas You firstly introduced the objective of this working group meeting, which is collecting evidence

of changes in urban solutions, policies and project designs. As a result of the group discussion, working group

one proposed the “Solutions 2.0” which is derived from a “system approach” in the framework of the New

4 Annex D: List of Urban Thinkers Campuses

5 Annex E: WUC Working Group Concept Notes


Urban Agenda. The group believed that this “systems approach” would refocus on the key sectorial and

institutional aspects of implementation, as well as the innovation. Speaking of the WUC stakeholders, Mr.

You brought up the idea of New Business Models, a new approach of addressing the local financing and

economic development issues, simultaneously improving the social inclusion. The group also made the

suggestion that the WUC should encourage each UTC to create its own agenda and respective action plan,

and identify synergies with and across jurisdictions, disciplines and stakeholder groups. Working group one

will develop a new template and guideline for submitting “Urban Solutions” and will work closer with

working group three and four.

WORKING GROUP 2 - IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCE6

Chair: Eric Huybrechts (IAU-IdF)

Participants: Christine Auclair (WUC Secretariat), Didier Vancutsem (ISOCARP), Flavio Nunes (FIABCI)

Group Task: Define channels of implementation. Gather commitments from WUC partners. Prepare an

implementation work plan. Identify financing mechanisms.

Meeting Objectives: This group will focus on exploring implementation tools and channels. It will develop a

comprehensive methodology to support cities and help them to work on the projects in the framework of

the implementation of the New Urban Agenda. The group will furthermore look at national urban policies

and financing mechanism.

Meeting Results:

Mr. Eric Huybrechts began with the UN-Habitat three legged approach: urban planning and design, urban

financing and urban legislation. In the light of this approach, the group proposed three campaigns for the

next two years in the framework of The City We Need 10 principles. The first campaign is called “Design My

City” which is in line with The City We Need principle six to nine. Through this campaign, the WUC can

mobilize professionals, academics, communities and private sectors to work together on planning and

designing the city they want. The second campaign is “Changing the City Together”, which reflects the

concept of urban legislation in the approach. It is envisaged to involving civil society, grassroots, women and

youth, for them to exchange ideas on the rights to the city. The last campaign in terms of achieving financing

goal is named as “Invest for Fair Cities”. This campaign focuses on the funding and affordability issues which

are in accordance with The City We Need principle two and three. Speaking of the channels of

implementation, Mr. Huybrechts highlighted the importance of the continuation of Urban Thinkers Campus,

as well as showing support to the partners on their projects and activities. He also emphasized on building

dialogues with national and local governments. By doing so, the WUC can bring the recommendations made

by the partners to the said party and consequently influence local and national urban policies. This group has

furthermore developed an new global road map 7which defines the orientation of the WUC from 2016 to

2036.

WORKING GROUP 3 - COMMUNICATION, OUTREACH AND MOBILIZATION8

6 Annex G: Working Group Two Term of Reference 7 Annex J: WUC Roadmap 2016 – 2036

8 Annex H: Working Group Three Term of Reference


Interim Chair: Joseph Muturi (SDI)

Participants: Sandeep Chachra (ActionAid), Devina Meinzingen (WUC Secretariat)

Group Task: Identify communication channels. Define key messages. Define media and social campaigns.

Mobilize key media partners. Engage WUC partners on the above.

Meeting Objectives: this group has worked on several communication areas, in particular the formulation of

a new slogan for the WUC. The group presented a proposed new slogan: “Collective Action towards a New

Urban Future”. The group will further work on additions to the draft communication strategy proposal to

align with the priority action areas together with all other working groups.

Meeting Results:

Mr. Joseph Muturi (interim Chair, in the absence of Pilar Balbuena and Adam Rogers) acknowledged the

existing WUC communication channels, and emphasized that the WUC should continue to strength its social

media, and boosts its communication channels especially TV channels, publications and radios in order to

engage more stakeholders. The group also discussed on how to package messages and customizing

messages for different target groups. The group also proposed four themes for global action campaigns,

which are housing, employment, public spaces and climate changes. The medium and long term goals for the

WUC were also discussed in this group meeting. In the short- to medium-term, the group aims to develop

communication strategies for the WUC global action campaigns. In the long-term, the group suggested the

WUC involves member states more in order to strengthen the campaign itself and consequently to influence

policies. The Working Group deliberated on this proposed WUC slogans, and it was then decided by the WUC

Steering Committee during the meeting on 6 May that the The City We Need shall remain the slogan of WUC.

Members felt that this has been successful, and shall be used in future to reach out to and engage urban

actors.

WORKING GROUP 4 - MONITORING AND ACCOUNTABILITY9

Chair: Jane Katz (Habitat for Humanity)

Participants: Bingqing Hu (WUC Secretariat), Sahar Attia (Habitat UNI – Cairo University), Sri.H.Sofjan

(Huairou Commission), Hubel Christian (City of Mannheim), Paul Zimmerman (Designing HongKong), Ludivine

Cornille (CSU), Judith Hermanson (IHC Global)

Group Task: Map existing monitoring frameworks for SDGs and NUA. Monitor them to ensure that key

action areas of the New Urban Agenda are addressed. Monitor results and identify gaps in order to take

action

Meeting Objectives: This group expressed their demands for further cooperation with working group 1 in

order to better map monitoring tools and integrate indicators to match priority action areas. The group aims

to ensure that key action areas of the New Urban Agenda are addressed.

Meeting Results:

Ms. Jane Katz primarily pointed out two key target elements in the framework of monitoring: 1/the priority

to monitor and 2/the party who is responsible to do so. The group came up with an overarching framework

based on the SDGs, New Urban Agenda and The City We Need, and consequently raised three crucial

questions as the framework of indicators: How is your city performing? Does your city have strategies? Does

your city have action plans? Ms. Katz mentioned that the UN-Habitat has a role in terms of integrating the

relevant projects and policies, as well as collecting the data and information to help to address the questions

as above. She also proposed to develop a toolkit which could help cities to explore their strategies in order

to achieve the goals. Ms. Katz remarked on the importance of national government and their policies in

terms of improving the visibilities in what cities are doing. Speaking of the measurement, Ms. Katz suggested

9 Annex I: Working Group FourTerm of Reference


to corporate the Urban Thinkers Campus results into the monitoring framework. For the future, the group

proposed a possibility to target 100 cities and examine their figures which including national policy

evaluation based on the information provided by the Cities Prosperity. Last but not least, the group

proposed four global action campaign themes which are: 1/Measuring the City 2/ Livable and lovable 3/ Our

city, Our Home 4/ Our City, Our Responsibility.

D. GLOBAL ROAD MAP AND ACTION PLAN DISCUSSION (PLENARY)

Ms. Rose Molokoane reminded participants of the mission of this session, which was to come up with a

concrete action plan linked to a new global road map.

During this plenary session, Ms. Christine Auclair summarized the proposed action campaigns and

emphasized that the UTC outcomes and commitments to the future should be adopted to influence the

national and local policies. This can be done by: 1. involving local and national governments in the campaign

activities 2. each UTC should prepare their recommendations to national and local government based the

campaign result. She additionally remarked that the WUC will inform the UN-Habitat Committee of

Permanent Representatives of the UTC Phase 2. Ms. Auclair also explained the newly developed global

roadmap10, introducing the expected WUC activities and relevant milestones, covering the post Habitat III

era in the timeframe from 2016 to 2036. She highlighted the importance to incorporate the proposed Urban

Thinkers Assembly, which is set to take place every year, at the World Urban Forums and the UN-Habitat

Governing Councils respectively.

Attendees discussed on the proposed themes for the global action campaigns as well as the UN-Habitat

three legged approach. Mr. Paul Zimmerman raised a question about the linkage between one of the

proposed action campaigns “Changing the City Together” and urban policy and legislation. Mr. Sandeep

Chachra shared his thoughts on this. He said given the comprehensiveness and sophistication of urban

policy, citizens are entitled to express their thoughts on city they own, and the campaign is a platform which

is providing the opportunity for them to do so. Ms. Judith Hermanson also asked how the global action

campaigns can be reflected in the global action plan. Mr. Chachra also commented further on this, stating

tangibility is important to citizens, and the campaign was envisaged to provide the opportunities for them to

share and exchange views. The issue of whether the global action campaigns should focus on“safety” and

“housing” was also discussed.

Mr. Paul Zimmerman reiterated the three critical questions drawn out by Working Group 4. He said every

UTC should liaise with national governments on concrete actions in order to improve the monitioring

process. And he also suggested that the WUC should adopt a consolidated reporting mechanism which can

reflect the questions and indicators.. Ms. Christine Auclair agreed that such data can be a driving force for

the WUC and the global action campaign. She then reminded the attendees that the SDGs and The City We

Need principles are already defined and can be used to monitor implementation nprocesses. She said the

Urban Thinkers Campuses can be seen as a tool to measure implementation processes, and can inspire

people to get involved in monitoring and accountability discussions. Mr. Sandeep Chachra confirmed this

10

Annex J: WUC Roadmap 2016 – 2036


statement by highlighting the importance of being able to show tangible change – people on the ground

require seeing and experiencing benefits that come through the implementation of proposed actions.

Following a discussion on how to operationalize the roadmap in order to incorporate the proposed global

action campaigns, Ms. Christine Auclair suggested that the campaign should focus on the UTC results, as well

as partners’ activities, and adopt a 4-year reporting cycle. Finally, the Working Groups Meeting attendees

came to the conclusion that the following four global action campaigns shall be adopted, and brought in line

with the WUC roadmap (2016-2036) as follows:

1) Measuring The City We Need (2016-2019)

2) Designing The City We Need (2020-2023)

3) Financing The City We Need (2024-2027)

4) Governing The City We Need (2028-2031)

D. CONCLUSION & WAY FORWARD Ms. Molokoane closed the meeting by summarizing what was discussed, and thanking all participants for

their attendance, reiterating the important to act as one entity, the unified World Urban Campaign. All

attendees recognized that the World Urban Campaign is an action oriented initiative, and acknowledged the

new WUC global roadmap as the way forward. The attendees furthermore agreed that all proposals made

during this meeting will be presented formally to the WUC Steering Committee at its 17th Meeting on 6 May

for review and approval.

WORLD URBAN CAMPAIGN

GLOBAL WORKING GROUPS MEETING

5 MAY 2017

NAIROBI, KENYA

CONCEPT NOTE

BACKGROUND

Launched in Rio de Janeiro in March 2010, the World Urban Campaign (WUC) is one of the largest global advocacy platforms for cities, lead by UN-Habitat, and driven by 170 organizations around the world committed to bringing cities at the heart of the battle for sustainable development. The Campaign has played a key role in advocating and lobbying towards an urban Sustainable Development Goal since its establishment in 2010 by UN-Habitat. In 2012, Partners of the World Urban Campaign have called for a new urban paradigm based on a critical review of current urbanization patterns and practices: To make sure we have the city we need in the 21st century cities our new urban paradigm will have to be guided by a set of principles preliminarily articulated in the Manifesto for Cities (…). We will have to translate these principles into policy action areas tailored to local conditions. On the road towards Habitat III, the WUC has been instrumental in mobilizing Urban Thinkers and elaborating a new urban paradigm towards Habitat III. Together they have produced The City We Need, a ground-breaking manifesto defining a set of principles and drivers of change that describe a new paradigm, as well as a set of implementable and tangible urban solutions to deliver better cities. This has been possible through a series of Urban Thinkers Campuses held in 2015-16 and attended by 7,800 people from 2,100 organizations in 124 different countries and 25 cities around the world. Between July 2015 and Feb 2015, in six months, we have gathered in Stockholm, Kampala, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Palerme, Nairobi, New York, Geneva, Dhaka, Omaha (USA), Barcelone, Mexico, Recife, Dubaï, Paris, Vancouver, Kuching, Chitungwiza, Melbourne, Mannheim and Alghero (Italy). This has been an inclusive journey, centred around the 10 principles of The City We Need, a logical framework that all campuses have used to structure the global decentralized conversation. The City We Need 2.0 encompasses ten principles:

1. The City We Need is socially inclusive and engaging 2. The City We Need is affordable, accessible and equitable 3. The City We Need is economically vibrant and inclusive 4. The City We Need is collectively managed and democratically governed 5. The City We Need fosters cohesive territorial development 6. The City We Need is regenerative and resilient 7. The City We Need has shared identities and a sense of place

2

8. The City We Need is well-planned, walkable and transit-friendly 9. The City We Need is safe, healthy and promotes well-being 10. The City We Need learns and innovates

It also includes ten drivers of change to achieve the above principles:

1. Governance and Partnerships 2. Planning and Design 3. Finance 4. Land, Housing and Services 5. Environment 6. Health and Safety 7. Economy and Livelihoods 8. Education 9. Technology 10. Monitoring and Evaluation

Urban Thinkers Campuses have generated a series of urban solutions before the Habitat III Conference. Those implementable urban solutions are meant to be innovative, stimulating, inspiring, ambitious and grounded in the reality of communities and practice. In the post-Habitat III era the solutions were meant to be subject to further scrutiny and commitment to action. For the WUC Urban Thinkers, urban solutions have been conceived as initiatives, practices, policies and models that address urban challenges. They should range from projects to strategies that have been implemented or are in the course of being implemented, meant to have a proven impact on people’s lives, to be economically feasible, replicable and scalable, influencing transformation. From principles to drivers of changes and urban solutions, the next step is geared to action in order to

implement the New Urban Agenda defined for the next twenty years.

On 15 and 16 October 2016, the WUC Steering Committee convened for its 16th meeting (SCM16) in Quito/Ecuador prior to the Habitat III Conference and recommended intensifying its work in the post-Habitat III era on:

1) The implementation of The City We Need and The New Urban Agenda.

2) A new series of action-oriented Urban Thinkers Campuses in 2017, to contribute to the implementation of New Urban Agenda towards The City We Need, in preparation for World Urban Forum 9 (2018).

3) Continued identification and dissemination of Urban Solutions to gather the collective intelligence of urban stakeholders

4) Continued strengthening of joint communication and outreach activities as well as mobilization of WUC partners.

In view of the upcoming implementation of the New Urban Agenda, four WUC working groups were constituted, meant to engage partners towards action:

Working Group 1 - URBAN SOLUTIONS

Working Group 2 - IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING

Working Group 3 - COMMUNICATION, OUTREACH AND MOBILIZATION

Working Group 4 - MONITORING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

3

Figure 1. The four WUC Working Groups geared towards the implementation

of the New Urban Agenda to achieve the City we need

The above working groups will start mapping their action in the Post-Habitat III era. Slum Dwellers International, Lead Partner of the World Urban Campaign, also chairing the Steering Committee since October 2016 through its Deputy President Rose Molokoane, has proposed to host this meeting of the World Urban Campaign. This strategic meeting is the first post-Habitat III decision making event of the WUC that is meant to give the future direction for the coming years in order to contribute to and deliver the New Urban Agenda through partnerships. Hosted in South Africa, it will be an opportunity for SDI and its Partners to demonstrate ways to move to

action after the Quito implementation plan has been approved.

Exemplary projects will be shared with international WUC partners and UN-Habitat team.

OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING

The objectives of the Global WUC Working Groups Meeting will be:

To exchange and agree on the objectives, activities and work plan of each of the four working

groups in order to contribute to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda:

Background, Objectives and expected outputs

When the World Urban Campaign partners started to envision the Habitat III Conference as a new opportunity

to elaborate the content of a new urban paradigm for the 21st century, they had in mind a set of principles and

drivers of change in order to define the ingredients of the paradigm shift for cities. They also started to put

forward a set of urban implementable and tangible urban solutions. This has been the essence of The City We

Need process initiated in end 2015 at their first Urban Thinkers Campus.

Since the finalization and adoption of The City We Need 2.0 by the World Urban Campaign Steering Committee

(WUC SC) on 16 March 2016 in Prague/Czech Republic (DOWNLOAD ADOPTED VERSION HERE) and following the

decisions made in the 14th and 15th WUC Steering Committee Meetings (Prague/Czech Republic and

Surabaya/Indonesia respectively), this working group was tasked to peer-review the more than 160 Urban

Solutions which were submitted to the World Urban Campaign following 3 calls to submit solutions.

The partners submitted a first sample of 164 Urban Solutions, meant to illustrate how the drivers of change can

be implemented towards The City We Need, either locally or in multiple contexts, globally. In preparation for the

Habitat III conference, this corpus of solutions was analyzed and a sample list developed, which aimed to inspire

all Stakeholders at the Habitat III Conference. Urban Solutions are initiatives, practices, policies and models that

address urban challenges. They range from projects to strategies that have been implemented or are in the

course of being implemented, meant to have a proven impact on people’s lives, are economically feasible,

replicable and scalable, influence transformation. Finally, Urban Solutions are practical suggestions for the

implementation the New Urban Agenda, which was adopted by Member States at the Habitat III Conference

(17-21 October 2016, Quito/Ecuador).

At its 16th Steering Committee Meeting (15-16 October 2016 in Quito/Ecuador) the WUC SC has decided that

this Working Group should continue to focus its efforts on Urban Solutions.

As a result, the objectives and outputs of this working group will include the following:

Identify priority action areas in the New Urban Agenda.

Identify initiatives, policies, models and processes that represent solution areas.

Continue identifying new and existing localized urban solutions.

Promotion of key solutions through the WUC & all Partner outreach channels (in relation with the Working Group 3)

At the 14th WUC Steering Committee meeting (Prague, March 2016), the attendees decided to constitute a new

WUC Working Group to address the needs for mechanisms required for the implementation of the New Urban

Agenda, the Quito Implementation Agenda and The City We Need 2.0 after the Habitat III Conference,

articulated within the framework of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

At its 16th Steering Committee Meeting (15-16 October 2016 in Quito/Ecuador) the WUC SC has decided that

this Working Group should continue to focus its efforts implementation mechanisms, and identify as well as

secure the required financial resources for implementing activities.

Communication has been a key component of the World Urban Campaign since its inception. At the first

Steering Committee (Barcelona, 2009), the partners decided to form a Communication Working Group to focus

on messaging, outreach and dissemination as essential component of the Campaign. The Working Group on

communication has developed key messages over time and agreed on several modus operandi to disseminate

them. They have employed the WUC website as the main platform and the World Urban Forum as the key global

event to reach out to multiple audiences. Partners’ events and activities have been instrumental in reaching out

to larger networks in the thematic areas of the Campaign. (See http://www.worldurbancampaign.org)

At the 13th WUC Steering Committee meeting (New York City, October 2015), the WUC Secretariat presented its

various activities (new website, social media, newsletter, Urban Thinkers Campuses, National Urban Campaigns,

etc.), and the attendees decided to reconstitute the WUC Working Groups, and found that a new working group

– the Communication, Outreach and Events Group – is required. At the 14th WUC Steering Committee Meeting

(Prague, March 2016), the attendees decided that the group should continue its work. This decision was

reaffirmed at the 16th WUC Steering Committee Meeting (Quito, October 2016), and the group was tasked to

focus is efforts on Communication, Outreach and Mobilization.


● Define key messages in relation with action areas identified by Working Group 1.

● Identify communication channels.

● Define media and social campaigns.

● Mobilize key media partners.

Monitoring has been a key component of the World Urban Campaign since its inception. The adoption of the

United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG11), presents

continuous opportunities to revisit benchmarking and assessment tools to review progress, particularly to

monitor the implementation of a SDG11. The New Urban Agenda, adopted at the Habitat III Conference in

October 2016, also presents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase the remarkable advances in urban data

analysis/benchmarking tools that have evolved over the past 20 years.

At the 13th WUC Steering Committee meeting (New York City, October 2015), the attendees decided to

reconstitute the WUC Working Groups, and found that a new working group – the Monitoring and Indicators








Group – is required. At the 14th WUC Steering Committee meeting (Prague, March 2016), the attendees decided

that the group should continue its work. This decision was reaffirmed at the 16th WUC Steering Committee

(Quito, October 2016), adding that the group should identify accountability avenues to ensure that

implementation activities are taking place, and in a meaningful way.


● Map existing monitoring frameworks for SDGs and NUA.

● Monitor them to ensure that key action areas of the New Urban Agenda are addressed.

● Monitor results and identify gaps in order to take action (action areas are then relayed to

Working Group 1).

The overarching goal is to ensure that the implementation of the above listed is measured and monitored

through a strengthened process. Additionally, the group will focus identifying how the implementing actors can

be held accountable.
