What we offer
Urban management
we support local policymakers, administration experts and local authority associations in managing municipal development.

Approaches
Local land management
we advise towns and communities on managing land and property and help them to create legally defined ownership structures and transparent land markets.
Interurban cooperation
we advise local authorities on forging alliances with other towns and communities that help them to assert their political interests and solve common problems more effectively.
Creating a livable urban environment
We promote environmentally sustainable development in urban settings, for instance through waste management, clean air policies and sustainable production and consumption.
Improving urban infrastructures and services
we support the improvement of urban infrastructures in the fields of waste, energy, transport and water; our aim is always to involve the population and the private sector.
Local business promotion
In cooperation with the private sector we promote the competitiveness of business locations and the local economy. We advise local authorities on promoting small and micro enterprises in the informal sector in order to reduce poverty.
Developing socially inclusive, safe cities
we promote civil society development to enable all citizens to participate in political processes. We also support peaceful forms of conflict transformation.
Urban renewal and using cultural resources for development purposes
we support towns, cities and communities in restoring their historical buildings using local knowledge – an important precondition for developing a tourism industry.
What you can achieve with us
In many developing and transition countries, urbanization is progressing at such a fast pace that the authorities' administrative and urban development capacities are unable to keep up. As cities are not just economic and political centers but also major sources of social renewal, undesirable social, economic, ecological and institutional developments can often impact negatively on the entire development process. Good 'urban governance' is hence the key to overcoming pressing development problems, above all to
Create livable urban environments offering high levels of safety, mobility, leisure opportunities and quality of life, as well as employment for millions of people
Reduce urban environmental and health risks effectively through advanced waste management, clean air, transport and urban health policies allow disadvantaged population groups to participate in the social and political aspects of urban life and benefit from economic progress offer urban integration support for migrants to the cities
Transform cities into service centers for rural regions and hubs linked into the global economy create urban networks as supraregional forums for cooperation in the fields of peace building and other global issues.
