We advocate to improve public transport systems, to upgrade telecommunications to preserve green spaces for public use, and the responsible use of water and the elimination of toxins in urban areas. Political Participation Political participation may be achieved through which consult with and involve community groups, NGOs and the private sector in the planning and developing or adopting structures and processes management of public services and facilities. This requires a clear process and structure for popular participation. If given the opportunity, people can govern themselves through participation in existing structures or by creating alternative ones. The challenges of human resources regionally, the rights of informal sector s must be addressed in a constructive, productive and humanistic way.
Economic productivity is the heartbeat of any community.
Cultural Vibrancy Cultural vibrancy may be achieved by conserving traditional communities, historic enclaves and structures of cultural, architectural, historical, political, economic, spiritual and religious significance. The creative development of new communities and the building of new structures and cities can be inspired by these efforts. Goals and Principles, Commitment and Global Plan of Action provide a universally agreed set of standards and commitment of our work. It provides for all of us a common platform for advocacy, organising and making our demands. Let us use it to make us work for cities and communities.
