 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.
The Urban Governance Index was first tested in 12 cities in early 2003. The indicators were evaluated based on findings from the field test results, responses from the participating cities and feedback from the stakeholders meeting held during the 19th session of the UN-HABITAT Governing Council in May 2003. The objectives of the second field test are: (a) to refine the indicators and (b) to build a credible basis for launching the Index in mid-2004. The documents related to the second field test are included below
