The main objective of this study is to provide local governments and planning departments with a rational approach to Planned City Extension (PCE)1 by integrating the three fundamental principles behind sustainable urbanization proposed by UN-Habitat’s Three-Pronged Approach: good planned city extension, efficient municipal finance and proper legal framework.
Through a quantitative and qualitative assessment of how these principles affect urban productivity, it aims at illustrating the following points:
- Well-planned cities have higher urban productivity in the long run
- Financial and legal factors are key for a successful implementation of plans and for creating an urban ecosystem with steady and resilient value creation
patterns
It is meant as a practical tool as it provides the methodology for measuring the economic impacts of different decisions in spatial planning, urban financial management and legislation. It supports the promotion mof a comprehensive integrated urban planning agenda among policy makers and urban managers; strengthens the understanding of present and future gaps in urban strategies and creates a scientific methodology for developing and managing urban space, creating a comprehensive legal and institutional framework,
prioritizing investments and evaluating the impact of long-term spatial planning decisions and infrastructure investments.
