Summary

Based on experiences from the Global Future Cities Programme (GFCP), this report is one of a two-part series that shares insights and recommendations for global programmes that seek to drive transformative impact and accelerate SDG implementation in rapidly urbanising contexts. It provides guidance to urban practitioners, local and regional authorities, national policymakers, and investors on how to design urban projects that align with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda, to accelerate national and local efforts to implement the SDGs through local action in rapidly urbanising cities.
