Urban transformation 54% of people 50% more people by 2045 80% 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
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
Progressing urban sustainability UN Sustainable Development Goals Reflect: - 2030 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
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

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: 128 2014: 201
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
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.
ISO 37101 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

USM Platform Much 37101 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 37101 framework. Tools can be used with any userselected framework.
USM Platform context: ISO 37101 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

Conclusion: a new era? ISO 37101 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 37101 is the best framework Suitable for developing countries?
