2016 GGSD Forum - Opening Session: Presentation by Mr. Christian Kastrop, Dir...OECD Environment
Christian Kastrop discusses how the OECD can improve its advice on spatial planning policies. While past economic surveys have often recommended removing restrictions on land use to boost growth, this approach has been superficial. Spatial planning involves trade-offs between economic, environmental, and social outcomes that are not always quantified. To provide better guidance, the OECD should more clearly identify the multiple purposes of spatial planning and acknowledge inherent tensions between objectives.

Local fiscal policy can drive land use through government structures like fiscal decentralization or centralization. Fiscal decentralization may lead to inter-jurisdictional competition and "fiscal zoning" promoting urban sprawl. Fiscal centralization could cause complacency as sub-national governments have few incentives to develop land, limiting growth and affordable housing. Local fiscal instruments should align with land use regulation, and a well-designed property tax like a pure land tax could support sustainable land use and urban redevelopment.

This document discusses integrated and sustainable urban development. It outlines three pillars of sustainability - environment, economy, and society. Urban areas face challenges in these areas like jobs, resource use, and inclusion. True integration requires coordination across policy areas, levels of government, and neighboring municipalities. Examples are given of integrated projects addressing issues like regeneration and deprived neighborhoods. The EU supports urban sustainability through programs and requiring 5% of development funds be used in integrated urban actions. Questions are asked about measuring results and spreading learning.

1) OECD countries invited the organization to examine how to better align policies across areas to facilitate the transition to low-carbon economies. Existing policy frameworks are not automatically aligned with climate goals.
2) Policy coherence is important because climate policy objectives must be coordinated with other policy goals. Decades of fossil fuel use have impacted policy frameworks.
3) The report identifies misalignments across policy domains like taxation, innovation, trade, and climate finance that must be addressed to ease the transition. Both national and local governments need approaches to coordinate across sectors.
The document summarizes the activities of the Regional Slum Upgrading Working Group from 2014 to 2016.

The document summarizes policies and outcomes related to urban development in India and China. In India, policies aimed to reduce densities but led to very high densities, prices and low floor space per person due to lack of infrastructure investment. In China, concern over farmland loss led to urban land quotas, but high infrastructure investment resulted in decreasing densities, increasing floor space per person, and spatial dispersion of neighborhoods. Ongoing research is analyzing components of land consumption and spatial distributions of densities.

National urban policies aim to address challenges of urbanization at a national scale through coordinated efforts. A proposed universal framework recommends that by 2030, one-third of countries should have formulated, implemented, and evaluated national urban policies. Key elements of successful policies include empowering local governments, fostering multi-level cooperation, and improving investment and quality of life in cities. Open questions remain around comparing policies across different governance systems and monitoring progress while respecting local contexts.
This document provides background context on the International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning. It discusses the objectives of providing a universal framework to guide urban policy reforms and planning approaches adapted to different contexts. The guidelines are intended to complement previous UN-Habitat guidelines on decentralization and access to basic services. The document outlines the scope of the guidelines in addressing planning at various scales from supranational to neighborhood levels. It also describes the multi-stage consultative process undertaken with experts and partners in developing the guidelines.
The document discusses urban and metropolitan governance in the Philippines. It provides information on metropolitan arrangements in the country, including the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

It is headed by a chairman and also has a governing Metro Manila Council. The document also discusses other metropolitan governance arrangements in the Philippines and experiences from other countries.
The document outlines the history and process of developing a New Urban Agenda through Habitat III. It began with Habitat I in 1976 which adopted a global plan of action for adequate shelter. Habitat II in 1996 reaffirmed a commitment to integrate urban equity. Preparations for Habitat III have included engagement activities to build consensus, policy discussions, and knowledge creation through reports and papers. The goal is to agree on a New Urban Agenda at Habitat III that recognizes urbanization as a tool for sustainable development and social integration.
The World Urban Campaign is a global movement coordinated by UN-HABITAT that brings together public, private, and civil society partners to promote policies and strategies that improve quality of life in cities. Launched in 2010, the campaign aims to connect, exchange, and deliver initiatives through partnership. It establishes principles like accessibility, participation, and inclusion to guide urban development. The campaign measures its success by policies and investments adopted at national and local levels that enhance urban livelihoods for all.

Next steps mentioned include the government reporting on SDG progress to the UN in June 2019 and an SDSN conference in September 2019.
Urban and spatial planning and design play an important role in shaping sustainable and resilient cities. Effective planning promotes compact and connected urban forms that reduce sprawl, support public transportation, and encourage mixed-used development. This contrasts with unplanned urban extensions and car-centric development, which have led to less sustainable sprawling urban patterns. Good planning also fosters social inclusion, protects cultural heritage and the environment, strengthens resilience, and supports strong economies by improving productivity and land values. Public participation, multi-sectoral coordination, capacity building, and context-specific solutions are essential for successful urban and spatial planning.

The goals are to coordinate policies, promote sustainability, and secure mineral supply in the EU while improving regional well-being.
EU Critical Raw Minerals Act Presentation.pdfOECDregions
The European Critical Raw Materials Act proposes establishing a framework to ensure a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials for the European Union. It defines 34 raw materials as critical based on their high economic importance and supply risk. It aims to strengthen the EU's critical raw materials value chain, diversify imports, improve risk monitoring and mitigation, boost circularity and sustainability, and define strategic projects across the value chain to increase EU extraction, processing and recycling capacities. It would also establish a Critical Raw Materials Board to support the European Commission in law's implementation.

The agenda includes visits to mines in Portugal, panels on challenges and opportunities for mining regions, and discussions on regional priorities and expectations from the project.
The new OECD project “Shrinking Smartly and Sustainably”, financially supported by the European Commission, aims at producing a framework and associated guidelines to manage demographic change at regional and local levels.
The Netherlands: National Program Local Heat TransitionOECDregions
The National Program Local Heat Transition (NPLW) consists of two programs - the Program for Accelerating Neighbourhoods (PAW) and the Expertise Center Heat (ECW) - that support municipalities in accelerating the transition to decarbonized heating in the Netherlands. The NPLW aims to help implement around 3,000 neighborhood transition plans by 2030 to insulate or decarbonize 1.5 million homes, as called for in the country's Climate Accord of 2019. It provides knowledge sharing, stimulates regional collaboration, collects monitoring data, and communicates with municipalities and stakeholders to help different communities transition at various speeds.
Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approachOECDregions
OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach.
About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.

The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.
Post Habitat III and National Urban Policy at the OECD
1. FOLLOW-UP ON HABITAT III AND
NATIONAL URBAN POLICY

Presentation at the RIU, 26 January 2018, Bilbao, Spain
3. Why National Urban Policies?
• National urban policies (NUPs) can connect
all levels of government and relevant
stakeholders by providing forums for the
co-creation of a shared vision and a
framework which enables them to move as
one towards the same goals
• NUPs can support the alignment of
different sectoral policies and ensure all
the policies that affect urban areas are
coherent in support of cities, and the people
that live there

6. • Main characteristics
– A functional approach based on people and their daily
behaviour instead of administrative or purely
morphological approach
– Overcome administrative boundaries
– Facilitate international comparisons
– Support the design of urban policy and governance
solutions
• Methodology developed in cooperation with the EU in 2012
– Identified 1 197 functional urban areas (281 metropolitan areas) in
OECD countries
– Replicated and replicable methodology in non-OECD countries
• Colombia (8 metropolitan areas computed along with
indicators)
• Morocco (Casablanca, in progress)
• Vietnam (in progress) 6

9. Habitat III and National Urban Policies
(NUPs)
(cf. excerpt from the NUA)
“We will take measures to establish legal and policy frameworks, based on the
principles of equality and nondiscrimination, to better enable prevailing
governments to effectively implement national urban policies, as appropriate,
and to empower them as policy and decision-makers, ensuring appropriate
fiscal, political, and administrative decentralization based on the principle of
subsidiarity” (New Urban Agenda, pp. 12)
• UN Habitat and OECD co-led the Policy
Unit 3 on NUPs – The outcome (Policy
Paper on NUP) was a key input to the New
Urban Agenda (NUA).
• The NUA has put explicit emphasis on
NUPs as one of its five implementation
pillars
10. The National Urban Policy Programme
• Launched at the Habitat III
Conference in Quito, Ecuador
• Collaboration of UN-Habitat,
OECD, and Cities Alliance
• Aims to support OECD and
non-OECD countries in
developing and implementing
NUPs by providing
coordinated support through
different institutions

from a range of countries and institutions
15. Progress in 2017:
National Urban Policy in OECD Countries
• Launched at ICNUP2,
May 2017
• Providing an assessment
of the state and scope of
NUPs across 35 OECD
countries and describes
how urban policy, and its
place in national political
agendas, is evolving
• It feeds in the Global
State of NUP Report
16. Progress in 2017:
The Global State of NUP Report
• Joint work of UN Habitat and OECD
• 150 NUPs are analysed
• Some key facts:
– 76 (51%) are “explicit” and 74 (49%) are “partial”
– 92 countries (62%) already implement their NUPs, while
only 19 countries (13%) have reached the monitoring and
evaluation stage
– Climate change resilience (10%) and environmental
sustainability (26%) receive the weakest degree of attention
– 57 countries (38%) have a specialised national urban agency
to oversee urban policy
– A lack of resource (human, technical and financial) is the
most severe challenges in order to successfully implement
NUPs
