The Campaign is developing indicators of good urban governance with
two principle aims. First and foremost, to help cities identify key
urban governance issues and assess their progress towards the quality of
city-life. Cities will be given tools to help them assess the state
of urban governance in their city. Cities can then set targets for
measuring performance on key issues. The Campaign and its partners
will provide selected cities with capacity-building support to achieve
their objectives.
A secondary aim will be to develop a global Good Urban Governance Index.
The index will draw on available urban indicators to assess the state of
urban governance in the world. The results of the index will be made
available in the UN-HABITAT State of the World's Cities Report and the
Global Report on Human Settlements. For more information on the index please see the draft concept paper.
