URL-GP Development Process

In January 2018 UN-Habitat convened a participatory process for developing “Guiding Principles for Urban-Rural Linkages” for advancing integrated urban and territorial development with a first working session in the margins of the World Urban Forum (WUF) in Kuala Lumpur. Twenty five participants in the first consultation provided inputs to a zero draft of the Guiding Principles (found at the bottom of the “Draft Versions” page.

Over 100 stakeholders in UN agencies and regional commissions, international development partners, national and local governments, private sector and donor organizations, academic and research organizations, civil society and private sector actors were invited to comment on the zero draft between January and April 2018.

These participating actors and new actors reached through this online consultation are now invited to list their names and organizations by filling out the information on the “contact” page on this website. Even if individuals or organizations choose not to be listed on the “Participating Actors” page, it is necessary to enter your contact information to comment on the current draft and to submit experiences and case studies related to urban rural linkages to advance integrated territorial development.
