Kisumu Public Space Programme

Purpose The overall purpose of the project is to improve local policies, plans and designs for compact, integrated and connected, socially inclusive cities and neighborhoods in 70 partner cities by 2019 and 50 cities over 2 years 2016-2017. The specific objective is to promote progressive and inclusive planning tools and instruments at city level, and the effective creation, protection, design and management of public spaces, particularly in cities in rapidly urbanizing low-income countries, as critical preconditions for poverty reduction and the fulfillment of human rights in urban areas, through the creation of cities that are compact, socially inclusive, integrated, connected and resilient to climate change. Through urban planning, key elements of a sustainable approach will be brought together: adequate urban design that establishes and organises public spaces and urban form, the appropriate enabling legislation that supports implementation and ensure quality, and the adequate financial and economic measures that promote public revenue, private income and investment and wealth creation.
