The National Urban Policy (NUP) is a tool that allows national governments to guide the urbanization process as well as a guiding tool that provides a clear and coordinated view of the directions to be taken by public policies on the territorial development of cities, enabling greater and better vertical and horizontal coordination. For the Republic of Argentina, the NUP presents an opportunity to lay the foundation for an urban development plan coordinated at the national level, including contributions from the provincial and municipal levels and from various entities from the public and private sectors
