Things InternAfrica has learnt from WUF3

Many new ideas are coming from the World Urban Forum 3 being held in Vancouver Canada.

The most important of which we are making plans to share with Local Government and Housing. Planning is very important to sustainable development.

Eg. Planning development with the 50-year flood plain in mind.

Important Notes:

  • Make planning the tool for effective urban governance

    • No sustainable development without sustainable urbanisation

      No sustainable urbanisation without effective and accountable planning

  • Urban planning is a precondition of sustainability

  • NO Development without open transparent public participation and consultation!
