PLANNING SUSTAINABLE CITIESGLOBAL REPORT ON HUMAN SETTLEMENTS 2009
The Global Report argues that future urban planning must take place within an understanding of the factors shaping 21st-century cities including:
• Environmental• Demographic• Economic• Spatial Inequality• Urban Sprawl• Democratisation and the
rights of ordinary people
![Page 7: Global Planners Network Networking Event Spatial Planning and the Right to the City](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/568142bf550346895daf0800/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Successful spatial planning is inclusive...
Spatial planning must:– Respect difference, – Include all in the process of change;– Reduce social and spatial inequalities. Not
create new ones;– Negotiated through processes that are
• transparent, and • subject to scrutiny and arbitration;
– Result in a shared commitment to act.

rather than measure against external norms• Assess planning capacity to respond to challenges• Identify priorities • Evidence base for world wide planning capacity • Identify gaps – geographically and functionally• Helps consider resource priorities
• 1500 responses from 100+ countries
