Guidelines for Urban Planning (Prepared for the Republic of the Union of Myanmar)

The Guidelines for Urban Planning are based on five principles for sustainable urban development that UN-Habitat promotes for the 21st century’s urban development. It also proposes a step-by-step method for review and development of current and future plans that can by adopted by local planners. This planning and review approach is illustrated by comments and analysis on the plans of Pyay and Kalay both in citywide and city extension scales. Finally, it provides a set of references for sections and blocks that can be implemented in new developments in Myanmar.
