Infographics to better understand local and regional governments’ concerns

As the celebration of the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders and 4th UCLG Congress approaches and as the majority of local and regional elected representatives worldwide prepare to travel to Rabat, UCLG has created infographics on the main issues placed at the core of local and regional governments’ agenda.

With the purpose of representing the main trends for the future of the Towns, Cities and Regions  in relation to the contents and issues developed in the Manifesto for the City of 2030, UCLG has created infographics on the following topics: strategic urban planning, challenges of new urbanization, proximity government, resilience of cities and regions, and human rights.

UCLG encourages a careful reading of each of the following infographics that provides a quick but global glance of these issues that are both complex and inter-connected. A new section has been created on the UCLG website to host them and a summary can be found below:
