Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I2UD produced a regional assessment report of National Urban Policies (NUPs) in Arab States<\/strong> in 2014, to describe and analyze contextual factors and the evolution of policies in major Arab states. The assessment included five in-depth case studies of NUPs in Egypt<\/strong>, Jordan<\/strong>, Morocco<\/strong>, Saudi Arabia<\/strong>, and Sudan<\/strong>, which reflect the geographical diversity in the area, as well as current policy objectives, opportunities and challenges in implementation for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a related report from April 2016, Mona Serageldin and Fran\u00e7ois Vigier addressed a broader scope of NUPs, including European and global factors, in a paper titled “National Urban Policies and the Role of Sub-National Governments.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Case study analysis focused on cross-cutting themes of compact and connected cities<\/strong>, inclusive cities<\/strong>, and climate-resilient cities<\/strong>. The final outputs included these case studies, a regional synthesis report, and a table of country profiles in relation to national urban policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Documents include an initial expression of interest, inception report, case studies for each country, final assessments, an executive summary, annexes and methodological notes, and an additional memo on informal settlements in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSee related I2UD projects below<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
