    Global State of National Urban Policy 2024 - Building Resilience and Promoting Adequate, Inclusive and Sustainable Housing
    (UN-HABITAT, 2024) UN-HABITAT
    Building Resilience and Promoting Adequate, Inclusive and Sustainable Housing A robust national urban policy (NUP) facilitates achieving sustainable urban development as a shared responsibility across levels of government and amongst all actors by setting a shared vision, providing adequate coordination mechanisms, and guiding investments to address national and subnational development priorities. From the analysis of 78 countries across the globe, this edition shows that NUP is increasingly becoming a critical instrument to manage urban challenges and to advance sustainable urbanization, with more than 80% of countries having a NUP in place. The report reviews how countries’ NUPs are fostering adequate, inclusive and sustainable housing. The report also explores how countries are using NUP to enhance their resilience to current and emerging shocks. The report has been co-developed by UN-Habitat and the OECD as a key outcome of the National Urban Policy Programme.
