1 City Prosperity Initiative Conceptualization and Application Antony Abilla ; UN-Habitat Bangkok, Thailand

2 The Origin of the Initiative In 2012, UN-Habitat created the City Prosperity Index - a tool to measure the prosperity and sustainability of cities As a response to the demand of local authorities in need of a tool which measures the prosperity and sustainability of cities. In 2013/2014, Mayors and other decision-makers wanted to know how to improve living conditions in their cities using the CPI In 2015, the City Prosperity Index became a global initiative City Prosperity Initiative - with more than 300 cities adopting it around the world.

3 The Origin of the Initiative Defining Urban Prosperity A sense of general and individual socioeconomic security for the immediate and foreseeable future, which comes with the fulfilment of other, non-material needs and aspirations. Success Protection of commons and provision of Public Goods Wealth Thriving conditions Well-being Opportunity

4 The Origin of the Initiative Expert Opinion on Prosperous Cities R ating Africa Asia LAC Arab States All regions Quality of life Productivity Infrastructure Equity Environmental Sustainability

5 The Origin of the Initiative A tool based on Six Dimensions The Wheel of Urban Prosperity

6 In summary. A global monitoring framework to measure progress on city/urban goals in a comprehensive manner The City Prosperity Initiative is a platform for urban data collection, developed to formulate evidence based decision making and monitoring for cities.

7 The CPI: A global Monitoring tool Prosperity Index Classification 36% of the analyzed cities has a solid prosperity index and present an overall balanced development of the prosperity dimensions Oslo Sydney % of cities with a moderately solid prosperity index belong to the Latin American region and exhibit a less-cordinated development of the prosperity dimensions Sao Paulo % of the analyzed cities have a weak prosperity index and feature contrasted patterns among the dimensions in the CPI Karachi 37.00

8 The CPI : A Global Monitoring Tool Index Ranking The City Prosperity Index allows the comparison among cities with similar level. It shows the strong relationship between balanced development of all the dimensions of prosperity and the overall performance of cities.

9 The CPI: A Global Monitoring tool Regional Comparison Cities can be compared within the same geographical area, showing common and differentiated challenges

10 The CPI : A Global Monitoring Tool Prosperity Dimension Ranking The analysis shows the relationship among the different dimensions of prosperity. Studies prove that in most cases the different dimensions interact and influence each other through various linkages, reinforced by multi-sectoral policies.

11 The CPI: A global monitoring tool Adopted in more than 400 cities around the world (2017)

12 The CPI: A Global Monitoring tool The Creation of local and national monitoring mechanisms for accountability, prioritizes the selection of key areas and relevant issues for more efficient investment planning

13 The CPI: A multi-purpose platform Data, Information and Policy Making MONITORING INSTRUMENT A POLICY DIALOGUE A DECISION MAKING TOOL BASELINE SETTING GLOBAL MONITORING

14 The CPI: A multi-purpose platform 1. A flexible monitoring framework that takes into account the contextual needs and particularities of cities and countries 2. The CPI promotes integration in the implementation of a more sustainable urbanization model 3. An innovative tool based on spatial analysis that integrates indicators such as street connectivity, public space, urban expansion 4. As a multiscale tool the CPI supports decision-making from national urban policies to regional to citywide interventions 26 th 29 th CITY March PROSPERITY 2018 INITIATIVE (CPI), September 2015

21 The CPI: A multi-purpose platform 4. A Multi-Scale Decision-Making Mechanism INTRA-CITY / METROPOLITAN LEVEL As a multi-scale tool the CPI supports decisionmaking from national urban policies to regional to city-wide interventions WITH INDIVIDUAL CITIES WITH CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS WITH A GROUP OF CITIES AS A TRANS-NATIONAL INITIATIVE

22 The CPI: Tools and Products 1. TOOL: Perception Survey PRODUCT: City Profile Briefing Governments will receive a systematic feedback based on how people understand and feel about the different dimensions of prosperity of the city, facilitating a greater collaboration between the government, private sector and civil society. 2. TOOL: City Prosperity Index PRODUCT: State of the City Report The Report offers a detailed assessment of the contextual aspects of the city, proving greater understanding of the interrelations between different dimensions of urban development by measuring the creation and distribution of socio economic benefits. 3. TOOL: Policy Evaluation Model PRODUCT: City Action Plan The City Action Plan will propose a limited number of transformational interventions, designed according to the main components of the New Urban Agenda.

23 The CPI: How does it work? Process of the CPI MEASURE components by producing critical mass data and information using the following tools: Perception Survey City Prosperity Index MEASURE UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND factors which generate or inhibit prosperity and as a result : City Profile Briefing State of City Report CHANGE components by formulating policies, strategies and action plans through the: City Action Plan Best Practice Program CHANGE MONITOR Monitor the outcomes of the implementation through the use of CPI tools and methodology.

24 The CPI: How does it work? Implementation in cities Assessing Urban Prosperity Urban Prosperity Analysis Action Plan Definition Institutional strategy Towards urban prosperity Promoting welfare Identifying data sources, information gathering and indices calculations Identifying urban prosperity weaknesses and strengths in the city. Urban Prosperity Action Plans will allow local governments to monitor their progress and take each task step-by-step, therefore allowing them to handle the project efficiently. The expected results will strengthen an evolution to new housing approaches, including new comprehensive solutions, with enhanced institutional coordination towards shaping better cities.

25 The CPI: How does it work? A way forward to more prosperous cities Selected Strategies Areas of Action Suggested Methods Expected Outcomes

26 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 1 Agenda 5 Main Areas 17 Goals 169 Targets 193 Countries

27 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals The CPI has the characteristics to be the Global Monitoring Framework for the New Urban Agenda and SDGs Using the CPI, cities will be able to identify, quantify, and evaluate the progress on these agendas, avoiding duplication and systematizing the monitoring and reporting process The CPI is an ad-hoc tool for coordination, implementation and monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals and New Urban Agenda at local level

28 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals SDG Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable 10 Targets 11.1 Housing and Slums 11.2 Sustainable Transport 11.3 Participatory Planning 11.4 Cultural Heritage 11.5 Disaster Reduction 11.6 Air Quality and Waste Managment 11.7 Public spaces 11.a Rural-urban and regional planning 11.b Mitigation of Climate Change, Resilience 11.c LDCs support buildings

29 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals Connecting the CPI and the SDGs

30 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals CPI Framework for the SDG 11 Monitoring All 10 targets and indicators of SDG Goal 11 are integrated in the CPI; 23% of all SDGs targets that can be measured at the local level are covered by the CPI; The CPI can therefore be used, to identify, quantify, evaluate, monitor and report on progress made by cities on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

31 The CPI and the Sustainable Development Goals CPI Framework Added Value to SDGs Monitoring Propose a systemic approach of the city Provide a single value of the city for national reporting and disaggregated by indicators for policy purpose Establish global benchmarks and standardization Create baseline data and information Provide a global platform for comparability Identify priorities for sustainable urban development Connect to database on best practice Provide evidence-based for policy-making Create local/national monitoring mechanisms

32 In conclusion. BENEFITS AND RESULTS Using evidence-based information, the CPI provides technical and substantive support to municipalities for innovative solutions Methodology for a systemic and comprehensive approach to city development Creation of a globally comparable baseline of Urban information and data Guided dialogue for evidence-based policymaking Formulation of Action Plans and Policy recommendations Creation of local/national monitoring mechanisms for accountability Prioritization and selection of key areas and relevant issues for more effective and efficient investment planning

33 In conclusion... The CPI is a powerful tool for measuring city prosperity in a more holistic manner The CPI help countries and cities identify, quantify, evaluate, monitor and report on progress made towards achieving SDG Goal 11 in a more structured manner
