Overview
The Campaign is implemented through a combination of strategies and “flagship products.”  Through normative debate, the campaign seeks to develop and promote the fundamental principles of good urban governance.    The campaign’s advocacy strategy raises awareness of cities practicing principles of good urban governance.  Capacity-building occurs via the operational activities of UN-HABITAT Regional Offices, global programmes and partners.  The lessons-learned from the above activities support the campaign's knowledge management strategy and are used to develop new tools for good urban governance.
