Definition and methodologyTop
Definition

This indicator places particular emphasis on the aspect of national and regional development planning and the notion of inclusion of sectors and actors, articulated on national urban policies (NUP)

Methodological explanations

A National Urban Policy (NUP) is defined as a coherent set of decisions or principle of actions derived through a deliberate government led process of coordinating and rallying various actors for a common vision and goal that will promote more transformative, productive, inclusive, and resilient urban development for the long term. This standard definition is extended and adapted to country contexts and may include, where applicable terms such as National Urban Plan, Framework, or Strategy as long as they are aligned with the above qualifiers.

Method of calculation

The methodology uses a policy evaluation framework that assesses and tracks progress on the extent to which country level national urban policy or regional development plans are being developed or implemented to cover or satisfy the following criteria: 


a)    Responds to population dynamics 
b)    Ensures balanced regional and territorial development 
c)    Increases local fiscal space
