Description
ADB’s Urban Sector Group has prepared tool kits for guiding the preparation of integrated urban plans or city development plans with inclusive cities, competitive cities, and green cities as the primary focus, depending on the relative importance of the 3E agenda: economy, environment, and equity. This tool kit presents concepts and strategies for addressing technical and institutional challenges related to shelter, infrastructure, transport, climate change, and disaster risk management—all of which are essential for Inclusive Urban Development.
Tool Outcome
The toolkit presents methods to gather the required information on a particular context and location for Inclusive Urban Development (IUD); to decide priorities; and to plan, design, and implement inclusive urban projects.
The tool kit is organized around three phases of the Inclusive Urban Development process and guides the user through a three-step process: i) Understanding the urban context; ii) Identifying priorities; iii) Project and program development. The tool kit also sets out a toolbox that includes assessment methodologies, implementation tool kits, and other resources.
