Hinweis der Redaktion
Discussion of process.
Labelled as โinformalโ โ but very structured, member-state driven process.
Admirable effort at inclusion (geography, gender, age); admirable effort at getting direct engagement between โexpertsโ and member states. Admirable effort at allowing time for engagement with specific issues.
Reasonable member-state engagement: Brazil, Colombia, Zambia, Chad, Norway, Indonesiaโฆ lesser US, EUโฆ
Science-policy interface: assumed that getting the two groups in the same room would foster dialogue, probably naรฏve. Experts spoke, member states stated their positions.
Limited NGO involvement; very limited local authority involvement.
At the end of the โLeave no one behind, urban equity and poverty eradicationโ session: โapologies to the NGO representative, we did not have time to take on your contributionโ
Discussion of content of meetings. In general, very positive about urbanisation and its role in contributing to economic, wellbeing, sustainability goals.
Mixed response to โright to the cityโ: particularly US and Canada. [US: โwe do not believe Habitat III is the correct forum for identifying human rightsโ, although Brazil said this is an โappropriate framingโ for the next 20 years]. โCorrectiveโ statement.
Constructive discussion around:
National urban policies (minimum standards, developed by people affected)
Urban governance (devolution of capacities and responsibilities)
Urban resilience (to stresses as well as shocks)
Engagement with informal housing and informal economy: adequate housing, decent work
Discussion missing around:
Details of local government
Details of financing
Data to support (and to monitor) implementation
โZero Draftโ document due this week: process of consultation transparent, process of production more opaque. [Requests for E&U papers from drafting team]
Final consultations in coming weeks: how will these be incorporated?
