Description
The Urban Governance Survey is an initiative by LSE Cities, UN-Habitat and the UCLG Committee on Decentralization and Local-Self Government and supported by the MacArthur Foundation. These institutions have been working together since 2014 in an effort to identify trends in the way cities are governed. Local governments all around the world continue to face critical decisions about how to face current demands and plan for their immediate urbanfuture in a situation where urbanization rates are influencing development dynamics on a global scale, posing unprecedented challenges for urban governance.
The session will be a perfect opportunity to present the results of the urban governance survey and the features and usefulness of the platform, as well as to offer a space for cities to engage and discuss about current urban governance trends and challenges.
