This document’s goal is to contribute to the international conversation about youth and cities governance and it’s importance to the urban sustainable development agenda. The work is specially aimed to contribute to the discussions of The Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) - The New Urban Agenda (NUA), but it should not be restricted to it. Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, Population and Development Agenda, Human Rights Agenda, and other international agendas are also agendas to which the urban issue is central, since we live in an urban world and cities are core to achieve more just and sustainable societies.

3. YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN CITIES’ GOVERNANCE - TAKING
THE DISCUSION TO THE GLOBAL LEvEL
INTRODUCTION
This
document’s
goal
is
to
contribute
to
the
international
conversation
about
youth
and
cities
governance
and
it’s
importance
to
the
urban
sustainable
development
agenda.
It
is
part
of
the
Youth
and
Land
–
Young
perspective
for
city
governance
project,
which
was
developed
in
the
city
of
São
Paulo,
Brazil,
aiming
to
research
and
approach
the
relation
between
youth
and
land
in
urban
contexts
from
the
perspective
of
participation.
After
the
end
of
the
systematization
and
analysis
of
the
project,
it
was
commonly
understood
that
the
next
step
of
the
initiative
should
be
link
the
results
of
the
local
level
to
the
international
discussion,
in
order
to
foster
knowledge
exchange
and
enhance
the
existing
collaboration
networks
among
youth.
The
way
we
chose
to
do
it,
was
to
systematize
the
demands
young
people
have
for
their
cities
around
the
world
and
create
a
content
to
serve
as
a
reference
for
youth
improve
and
articulate
their
own
discussions,
as
well
as
advocate
in
national
and
international
urban
discussions,
and
make
their
voice
heard.
The
work
is
specially
aimed
to
contribute
to
the
discussions
of
The
Third
United
Nations
Conference
on
Housing
and
Sustainable
Urban
Development
(Habitat
III)
-­‐
The
New
Urban
Agenda
(NUA),
but
it
should
not
be
restricted
to
it.
Agenda
2030
for
Sustainable
Development,
Population
and
Development
Agenda,
Human
Rights
Agenda,
and
other
international
agendas
are
also
agendas
to
which
the
urban
issue
is
central,
since
we
live
in
an
urban
world
and
cities
are
core
to
achieve
more
just
and
sustainable
societies.
Currently,
a
large
number
of
our
cities
are
young,
but
not
for
too
long.
Today,
about
one
quarter
of
world
population
(24,7%)
is
between
15
and
29
years
old
(U.S
Census
Bureau,
2014)
and
by
2050
it
is
expected
that
there
will
be
more
people
aged
60
or
over
than
adolescents
and
youth
aged
10-­‐24
years
(DESA,
World
Population
Ageing
2015:
Highlights,
2015,
p.1).
So,
young
people
are
an
asset
–they
are
the
ones
that
are
key
to
our
demographic
transition,
but
they
are
also
subject
of
rights
–the
ones
who
will
suffer
the
consequences
of
bad
decisions.
And
they
need
to
be
heard.
It
is
mandatory
to
be
accountable
to
them
and
make
sure
they
participate
to
the
construction
of
the
cities
and
societies
they
want
to
live
in.

4. The
following
content
was
developed
based
on
the
results
of
various
documents
–
consultations
results,
position
papers,
declarations,
project
reports
and
event
reports
–
written
and/or
subscribed
by
youths.
The
systematization
was
classified
in
thematic
areas,
further
detailed
in
an
objective
list
of
the
demands
youths
have
for
the
implementation
of
a
Sustainable
Urban
Agenda
and
for
the
cities
they
want
to
live
in.
It
should
also
be
a
reminder
that
no
challenge
faced
within
cities
can
be
overcome
without
young
people,
nor
any
model
of
a
great
city
can
be
achieved
without
them.
WHAT Youth WANTS
Ground
zero
Universal
access
to
opportunity
and
infrastructure.
Right
to
the
City.
Human
Rights.
Crosscutting
principles
People-­‐centered,
Socially
Cohesive,
Equitable,
Inclusive,
Intergenerational,
Environment-­‐friendly,
Healthy,
Democratic,
Collaborative.
Coexistence,
Diversity,
Gender
justice,
Intersecctionality,
Livelihood,
Sustainability,
Systemic
and
Holistic
approach.
• Recognition
of
youth
as
an
asset
and
a
marginalized
group
Recognize
youth
as
a
key
asset
and
include
young
people
in
the
planning,
implementation
and
monitoring
of
the
sustainable
urban
agenda,
as
well
as
recognize
that
young
people,
especially
young
girls,
is
a
historically
marginalized
group.
Understand
young
people
as
subjects
of
rights
and
guarantee
their
rights
are
implemented.
Stop
stigmatizing
youth
as
problem-­‐makers
or
as
any
social
representation
that
express
a
negative
and
discriminating
perspective
towards
young
people.
Fight
generational
prejudice.

5.

all
basic
services
are
easily
available,
affordable,
non-­‐discriminatory
and
adequate

and
accessible
birth
registration
systems

cases,
cartels.
Secure
good
conditions
of
roads
and
street
to
prevent
accidents
and
flooding.

• Poverty
and
inequality
End
poverty.
Recognize
that
urban
poverty
is
multidimensional
and
must
be
addressed
across
different
levels
of
government,
taking
into
consideration
intersecctionality
and
the
different
contexts
people
live
(which,
includes
economic,
social
and
environmental
dimensions).
Recognize
inequality
is
not
restricted
to
the
economical
dimension
and
exclusion
occurs
not
only
based
in
income
but
also
due
to
other
factors,
such,
gender,
race,
ethnicity,
age,
territorial
infrastructure
(geographical
distribution
of
opportunities
and
services),
vulnerability
to
natural
disasters,
among
others.
Increase
awareness
that
poor
people
are
not
the
cause
of
their
own
poverty.

development

as
a
synonym
of
economic
growth.
Guarantee
the
fair
distribution
of
the
costs
and
benefits

right
of
people
having
different
“Sexual
Orientation
and
Gender
Identity”
(SOGI).
Promote
affirmative
policies
and
give
special
attention
to
the
greater
vulnerability
of
young
women,
girls
and
LGBTIQ,
indigenous,
ethnic
minorities,
black,
disabled,
and
migrant
youths.

6. Improve
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
gender
policies.
Review
fiscal
and
tax
systems
and
implement
systems
with
progressive
and
just
approaches

high

of
basic
commodities,

progressive
income
taxes
etc.).
Promote
corporate
social
responsibility.

family
planning
education

rent;
rent
subsidies;
public
housing

Provide
housing
for
particular
young
populations,
like
students

housing
and
student
accommodations).

and
collective
ways
of
living
such

efficient
and
integrated

serve
the
entire
city
and
allow
