روند شهرنشینی بسیار سریع است و تا سال 2050 میالدی، از هر ده نفر، هفت نفر در شهرها زندگی خواهند کرد. بر این اساس تاکید بر ضرورت برنامهریزی امری اجتناب ناپذیر است. سیاستها، برنامه ها و طرح های نامناسب، به توزیع فضایی نامطلوب مردم و فعالیتهای آنها منجر شده و در نتیجه گسترش محلههای فقیرنشین، تراکم نامناسب، دسترسی ضعیف به خدمات پایهای، تخریب محیط زیست، و نابرابری اجتماعی و تبعیض را در پی خواهد داشت. راهنمای بین المللی برنامهریزی شهری و سرزمینی هم به عنوان یک منبع الهام بخش و همچون یک قطب نما، مسیر را در هنگام بررسی سازوکارهای برنامهریزی شهری و منطقهای، برای تصمیمگیران و شهرسازان روشن میکند. این راهنما با ارائة یک چارچوب مرجع جهانی به دولتها و مقامات محلی، سازمانهای جامعه مدنی و برنامهریزان حرفهای از طریق ترویج شهرها و سرزمینهای متراکم تر، از نظر اجتماعی فراگیر تر، یکپارچه تر و متصلتر، زمینة توسعه پایدار شهری و تابآوری در برابر تغییر اقلیمی را فراهم میآورد.

本版《世界城市状况报告》要揭示的是，“所有人的繁荣”目前仅狭隘地聚焦于经济增长。联 合国人居署提出了一个全新的视角，超越了单一的经济重心，而包括了其他的重要维度，如生 活质量、充足的基础设施、平等和环境可持续。报告还推出了一个新工具—城市繁荣指数，以 及“繁荣之轮”概念矩阵，二者都可为决策者制定清晰的干预政策提供建议。

报告呼吁城市应该为所有民众强化公共领域，扩大公共物品供应，巩固“公地”权利，以此作 为扩大繁荣的手段。这正是为了应对目前已被观察到的不良趋势，如繁荣飞地上对公共物品和公地 的封锁和限制，以及以不可持续的方式将其耗尽。

快速城市化—与气候变化一起—正在成为21世纪最具挑战性的议题。亚洲作为在过去20年中城市人口增长率最高的地区，其持续发展面临着十分重大的经济、社会和环境挑战。不过，经过良好规划和高效组织管理的城市可以应对大多数挑战。正确的经济政策和更加公平的增长，可以实现减少贫困和贫民区的目标。如今，将城市置于正确的发展道路上才可以构建充满活力的、集聚的、绿色的、具有韧性和可持续的城市。

This report is based on the outcomes of the capacity development trainings that were undertaken in support to the implementation of the on-going Kenya Municipal Programme. The programme is mainly financed by the World Bank at a cost of US$ 129 million with cofinancing from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida); it is executed and implemented by the Kenya Government, through the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development(MLHUD). UN-Habitat’s support to the Kenya Municipal Programme is through capacity development that entails training in various key issues in urban planning and development.

This report details outcomes of the first phase of the training that was done for the Kenya Municipal Programme Counties Clusters III (Machakos, Embu & Kiambu) and IV (Nyeri & Nakuru). This section of the report provides a brief background of the Kenya Municipal Programme and UN-Habitat’s support to the Programme, and draws attention to the on-going global debate on the Habitat Agenda, Habitat III1and Urban-Rural Linkages – a key theme of the 25th Governing Council (GC25) of UN-Habitat held in April2015.

UN-Habitat believes that ICT can be a catalyst to improve governance in towns and cities and help increase levels of participation, efficiency and accountability in public urban policies, provided that the tools are appropriately used, accessible, inclusive and affordable. Research shows that ICT use by youth can have a direct impact on increasing civic engagement, giving them new avenues through which to become informed, shape opinions, get organized, collaborate and take action.

UN-Habitat’s experiences of using the video game Minecraft as a community participation tool for public space design confirms this view and shows that providing youth with ICT tools can promote improved civic engagement. Youth are at the center of the ICT revolution, both as drivers and consumers of technological innovation. They are almost twice as networked as the global population as a whole, with the ICT age gap more pronounced in least developed countries where young people are up to three times more likely to be online than the general population.

The purpose of this paper is to outline UN-Habitat’s approach to using information and communication technology (ICT) as an enabler to encourage youth participation in urban design and governance.

Dân số đô thị hiện đã đạt ngưỡng 50% tổng dân số thế giới, viễn cảnh một thế giới toàn đô thị đang ngày càng trở nên rõ ràng. Đô thị hóa đang diễn ra với tốc độ rất nhanh, đặc biệt ở các nước đang phát triển, điều đó đem lại cơ hội nhưng đồng thời cũng tạo ra thách thức cho chúng ta.Quy tụ đô thị đã đem lại quy mô kinh tế to lớn cho các thành phố và vùng lãnh thổ, nhưng điều đó có thể dẫn tới chi phí gia tăng, gây ra những tác động từ bên ngoài như tiếng ồn, tắc nghẽn và ô nhiễm. Những thách thức toàn cầu như biến đổi khí hậu, suy giảm nguồn tài nguyên đang ít nhiều tác động đến các khu vực trên toàn thế giới, và đòi hỏi chúng ta phải có biện pháp ứng phó.
