Rapid #urbanisation necessitates the role of public-private-people partnerships in urban development.     Engaging communities in urban infrastructure projects isn't just about construction — it's about creating spaces that resonate with the community’s residents.     PPPs offer a unique opportunity to combine the strengths of each group to achieve common goals. Governments provide regulatory support, private organizations provide expertise, funding and innovation, and the local community offers valuable insights and perspectives.     A successful model of the PPP model pioneered by UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) and HBD is the #Sustainable & Participatory Resettlement Project of the Roça Sundy Community to Terra Prometida resulting in 133 houses enhancing living conditions in the resettlement area.

Future Development Strategies: How and where we should we be developing our towns and cities? Are we too focused on just a few? We assess the Future Development Strategy regime, which obligates Councils to identify sufficient capacity for development. We have major efficiency issues within our cities and urban centres. Are future development strategies the answer, how should Councils be formulating them and what should they consider when seeking to drive development? We use Warkworth and Switzerland as examples of how we can stimulate positive urban development outcomes. The Swiss example is telling. With almost double our population and yet a quarter of the land area, the Swiss have one of the most efficient urban forms in the world. How? As controversial as it is, we question whether the use of zones is the right mechanism for planning and land-use. The key message - infrastructure first! #propertydevelopment #infrastructure #realestate #housingmarket #urbandevelopment #propertydeveloper #propertyadvice #construction #planning www.capstoneprojects.co.nz 021 221 6776

Why is it necessary to talk about city management? ·       Urbanization requires effective management by national and local authorities. Cities currently occupy less than 2% of the world's total land area, but produce 80% of global gross domestic product (GDP) and more than 70% of carbon emissions.  ·       The speed and scale of urbanization poses challenges to ensuring adequate housing, infrastructure and transportation, and contributes to conflict and violence.  ·       Nearly one billion people are classified as "urban poor" and the majority live in informal urban settlements 🌎🌏🌍 #urbanmetabolism #sustainablesmartcities #architecture #dataintegration
