Lignes Directrices Internationales sur la Planification Urbaine et Territoriale

Le besoin de la planification ne peut être davantage accentué. L'urbanisation progresse rapidement et d’ici 2050, sept personnes sur dix vivront dans des villes. Des politiques et des plans inappropriés ont mené à une distribution spatiale non optimale des personnes et des activités, aboutissant à la prolifération de bidonvilles, la congestion, le faible accès aux services de base, la dégradation environnementale, l'injustice sociale et la ségrégation.

Les lignes directrices internationales sur la planification urbaine et territoriale servent à la fois de source d'inspiration et de boussole pour les décideurs et urbanistes amenés à évaluer ou à revoir leur système de planification urbaine et territoriale. Les lignes directrices constituent un cadre de référence global aux gouvernements nationaux, collectivités locales, organisations de société civile et urbanistes, qui promeut des villes et territoires plus compacts et inclusifs, mieux connectés et intégrés, et qui favorisent un développement urbain durable et une résilience au changement climatique.

A Practical Guide to Designing, Planning, and Executing Citywide Slum Upgrading Programmes

While 220 million people have been lifted out of slum conditions over the past 10 years, the number of people living in slum conditions is likely to grow by six million every year, to reach a total of 889 million by 2020. It is necessary to equip cities and their practitioners with the tools and capacities to anticipate and control urban growth and city officials will require knowledge, skills and methodologies that will allow them not only to upgrade existing slums but also prevent the appearance of new ones. This Guide advocates for a citywide approach to slum upgrading, which represents a fundamental shift from piecemeal project interventions to a citywide programme approach. This Practical Guide is part of a trilogy on citywide slum upgrading that includes Streets as Tools for Urban Transformation in Slums: A Street-led Approach to Citywide Slum Upgrading and A Training Module for Designing and Implementing Citywide Slum Upgrading. With the other two partner publications, the Practical Guide provides an accessible tool for practitioners, leading them through UN-Habitat steps towards a successful citywide slum-upgrading program.

Déficit habitacional en América Latina y el Caribe: Una herramienta para el diagnóstico y el desarrollo de políticas efectivas en vivienda y hábitat

De modo general, la existencia de una política de vivienda se fundamenta en la identificación de un determinado conjunto de situaciones concretas que afectan a individuos, grupos y poblaciones y que pueden ser descritas, en un sentido específico, como expresión o indicador de la presencia de necesidades habitacionales insatisfechas. Por supuesto, la observación de tales necesidades se relaciona con distintos tipos de diagnósticos, entre los que se incluye la carencia absoluta de vivienda, pero también diferentes modalidades inadecuadas o deficitarias de acceso a vivienda, entre las que se cuenta la disponibilidad insegura o no exclusiva de vivienda, así como también el acceso a viviendas que no cumplen con estándares mínimos o socialmente deseados de calidad. Reconociendo esta pluralidad de situaciones, es correcto señalar que la problemática habitacional no se reduce exclusivamente a un asunto de cantidad de viviendas, sino que implica aportar al desarrollo de condiciones que habiliten el acceso seguro, oportuno, exclusivo y equitativo a viviendas adecuadas para todos aquellos grupos e individuos que manifiestan algún tipo de necesidad.
