and urban-planning practices through ICTs

Recommendations on STRATEGIC urban-planning PRACTICES to implement urban-sustainability POLICIES
STRATEGY Promote social inclusiveness and development

POLICY --To help globalization processes that respect cultural heritages and cultural diversity, along with
the recognition of distinct needs of various groups--
PRACTICES Policies that support innovative solutions and create a stable environment for such innovations
to take place
Recommendations on physical urban-planning interventions
 Prioritise interventions in areas needing reinvention due to lack of services, transportation, housing or job offers.
 Interventions should include a mixture of uses in a well-blended socio-economic fabric, to avoid ‘ghettoization’.
 Built spaces should carry the right proportion of accessible green spaces and multipurpose public facilities to
allow for the accommodation of services to different cultural groups.
Recommendations on non-physical urban-planning actions

 It is important to develop interventions in a PPPP (People first Public-Private Partnerships) format to ensure
future uptake at the lowest level and to help implementation.
 Develop a jobs programme which can be introduced in parallel to innovative policies aimed at promoting
liveability and minimising commuting.
