In the second full year of the program, UrbanShift, the Global Environment Facility-funded partnership led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), scaled up its two-pillar approach to advancing integrated urban planning approaches through on-the-ground engagement with cities and capacity-strengthening across the sector, built around eight essential focus areas that collectively reflect best practices for creating sustainable, equitable and livable cities.
Spanning around 30 events that reached over 2,300 people and the launch of essential resources like the Online City Academy, the Geospatial Indicators Dashboard and the Guide to Public-Private Collaboration in the Global South, 2022-2023 was a momentous year for Urban Shift. This second Annual Report dives into progress made on the ground in the 23 cities within the UrbanShift network and highlights standout moments from UrbanShift's Global Platform activities.
