Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “GCC Regional Spatial Strategy”<\/strong> is an urban development plan presented by Mona Serageldin, along with I2UD, as part of a series of regional workshops for high-level municipal officials organized by the Gulf States Regional Office of UN-Habitat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serageldin authored another report, \u201cElements and Considerations,\u201d<\/strong> and a presentation the workshops held in Amman, Jordan in June 2013. Workshops discussed challenges and priorities for regional urban development among GCC countries. Topics stressed the importance of national and regional spatial development strategies for individual member countries, and aimed to utilize growth centers and development corridors to achieve better economic and social integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Documents include the general planning process framework from October 2010, a regional summary memo, a presentation on “Regional Spatial Strategy Experiences from China and South Africa,”<\/strong> as well as the “Elements and Considerations” paper by Serageldin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSee related I2UD projects below<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
