As an essential general consideration, it is clear that this report responds to the outline and tools that the NUA itself foresees for its implementation than to the outline deduced from the guidelines sent to prepare and present the corresponding report. In this way, it is understood that real progress consists (according to the NUA) in the elaboration and approval of a National Urban Policy that promotes a novel way of looking at cities from an integrated, integral and holistic perspective, in which the main tools are structured in actions of a regulatory, planning, financing, governance improvement and knowledge exchange and dissemination nature.
