2 Urban transformation 54% of people 50% more people by % of global GDP 70% of all global energy 70% of greenhouse gas Much pollution Urban sprawl inefficiency Need urban transformation for sustainability: - fundamental changes in land-use, energy and transport

3 Urban transformation Developing countries - 30% urban dwellers in slums - 90% of urban growth Africa urgent - not yet urban - urbanising while poor - urbanisation enables industrialisation - industrialisation not happening

4 Progressing urban sustainability UN Sustainable Development Goals Reflect: Agenda for Sustainable Development - UN New Urban Agenda requirements - COP21 Paris Agreement - development bank action areas + many public and private initiatives 232 SDG indicators - 66%: no data - 40%: no agreed methodology

5 National urban policies Lever urbanisation processes for sustainable development A framework to orient public interventions in urban areas Action areas - legislation l - economy - planning and design Processes - civil society yparticipationp - capacity development -projects

6 SD Goal 11 target: safe, resilient, sustainable cities Harassement Reported 2017 Heritage Fine particles Solid waste Inadequate housing Access to public transport Land consumption Public open space Development planning (national urban policies) Civil society participation in planning & management Disasters Sustainable building - Reported 2017

7 New (2016) Urban Agenda Global standard for sustainable urban development. Social inclusion Environmentally sustainable Basic services Spatial development Governance structures Urban prosperity Connectivity it and innovation Previous (1996) agenda: adequate housing for all Urban slum population Sub-Saharan Africa millions Urban slum population, Sub-Saharan Africa, millions 1995: : 201

8 Lessons from building and neighbourhood assessment Sustainability assessment mainly: - certification systems for established asset classes (buildings, neighbourhood developments) - tools to support planning and design. Lack: - local l stakeholder involvement - governance -culture - social coherence - innovative investment - design specific to local situation - response to more comprehensive planning requirements - evolution with time - continual improvement

9 SuRe infrastructure certification Enhance / de-risk infrastructure as an asset class Relatively few assessment systems. Infrastructure encompasses buildings and neighbourhoods. SuRe (released 2017) features: - developed with finance industry - rating based on: criteria materiality (important for finance) performance Extends criteria coverage significantly (e.g., finance, land use). Certifiable at all project phases.

10 ISO Urban Sustainability Management standard Move beyond assessment Sustainable development in communities adapted to local conditions: - smart, holistic, resilient, financially efficient framework - management system Aims to improve community: -sustainability and resilience (participation) i - contribution (effectiveness) - uptake of approaches (common language) Immediate target: neighbourhoods

11 ISO framework Cross-analysis at every stage of management system Action area Purpose Governan nce Education In nnovation n Health Culture Cohesion Economy Ambience e Security Services Mobility Ecosystem ms Attractiveness Environment Resilience Resource use Cohesion Af fundamental change: community and projects to act in 12 areas to achieve contributions to 6 purposes Wllbi Well-being

13 Short-, medium- & long-term reference frameworks Standards d Services (ISO 37120) Smart (ISO 37120) Resilient (ISO 37121) voluntary standards Assessment systems Cities (e.g., RFSC) Neighbourhoods Infrastructure Buildings (e.g.,leed) systems All used for framework

14 Short-, medium- & long-term reference frameworks It International ti lframeworks IAIA Social Impact Assessment IFC Performance Standards ILO Hours of Work Convention IPCC Climate Change Synthesis Report IUCN Protected Areas Categories IUCN Global l Register of Invasive Species OECD Indicators for Gender Equality OECD Corruption Awareness Handbook City Resilience Index Equitable Origin Standard Natural Capital Protocol Need to manage

15 USM Platform Much data to organise - Reference frameworks (indicators, benchmarks) Tools needed - SDG Mapping - Strategy (community & project) - Baseline Review - Materiality - Capacity project - Stakeholder management - Performance monitoring - Reporting USM Platform Organise using framework. Tools can be used with any userselected framework.

16 USM Platform context: ISO implementation Top-down community organization establishes: - coherent strategies, priorities, objectives and targets for each sustainability ypurposep - expected contribution of action areas to each purpose - indicators with assessment methods and benchmarks Bottom-up project to contribute to: - purpose objectives - action areas

17 USM Platform context: ISO guides ISO Implementation guide for cities -strategies, priorities, objectives and targets for each sustainability ypurposep - expected contribution of action areas to each purpose - indicators with assessment methods and benchmarks ISO 76 10? - Implementation guide for projects not in place: voluntary initiative in place: procurement process

22 USM Platform: Strategy Analysis Best strategy type Best strategy - use internal strengths to - compare PPP (1) and city- overcome external threats owned (2)

23 USM Platform: Performance Monitoring

24 Conclusion: a new era? ISO urban development framework Communities -strategies, actions and objectives address all sustainable development purposes - breaks down silos Projects -voluntary or required undertaking Many requirements: - need tools and platforms (and training) - ISO is the best framework Suitable for developing countries?
