Abstract

According to the 2011 Report of UN-Habitat, in the coming years, this organisation will focus its work on sustainable urban development, based on three practical priorities. These priorities relate to the application of a “new urban planning”, which becomes a direct invitation to review our current planning instruments (IPT), exploring how they can be improved; and to innovate in order to bring them closer to citizens. In the same way, their next pragmatic insights refer, first, to the “local institutions, (the) governance and (the) law”, and second, to “economics and finance at city level”, which correspond to a complementary pair of unavoidable issues that creates an opportune and explicit framework oriented to a better urban development than what we currently know. This work deals with these dimensions.
