Public Space and Citizenship
leading one of the UCLG Committees means working in a network that brings cities together so that we can connect local experiences and situations with national and international political dialogue, in an in creasingly urban world. The twenty-first century is facing the challenge of the rapid growth of the population in urban areas. Today, half of world's population live in cities. It is estimated that this growth will be concentrated in urban areas in developing countries. In this context, there is an increase in the responsibilities of local governments, which play a fundamental part in promoting the welfare of citizens.
The Strategic Planning Committee has the mission of implementing urban planning activities in cities, to assist in realising the development goals of the Millennium and the Habitat Ill Conference, planned for 2016. The Conference is targeted at strategic and transversal themes in urban politics, culminating with the launch of the "New Urban Agenda" UCLG document.
