Introduction

The urban development investment cluster includes interventions that are crucial for:

slum upgrading and providing alternatives to the formation of new slums

urban infrastructure urban services creating a productive urban environment and

fostering private sector development

www.unmillenniumproject.org3

Key Actors

local authorities organizations of the urban poor private sector (formal and informal) central government district/state/provincial authorities line ministries

Slum Upgrading and Alternatives to Slum Formation

Interventions: Provision of land where necessary & land management

systems.

New housing.

Development of new settlement areas.

Global Targets: Improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by

2020 Provide alternatives to the formation of new slums and stop

the growth of slums by 2006

Urban Infrastructure Water Supply and Sanitation

Interventions: Infrastructure for water supply, including trunk

infrastructure and water treatment. Private sanitation facilities and public sewers, including

emptying of pits and safe disposal of sullage. Public education on water, waste, sanitation and hygiene Storm drainage infrastructure

Targets: Halve proportion of people without sustainable access to

safe drinking water by 2015. Halve the proportion of people without sustainable access

to basic sanitation by 2015, aiming for an end to the practice of open defecation.

Provide adequate storm water drainage by 2015.

Urban Infrastructure Energy

Interventions: Modern cooking fuels and modern cooking devices Electrification with a priority on schools and health

facilities Bill collection and monitoring

Targets: By 2008, ensure reliable access to electricity to all schools

and health centers. By 2015, ensure reliable access to modern energy

services (including electricity services and improved fuels and devices) to all households

Urban Infrastructure Transport

Interventions: Infrastructure for mass transport Roads and footpaths, including curbing, streetlights, and

other interventions to improve both road and pedestrian safety

Transport services for emergency health care and other critical social services.

Possible Targets: By 2015 connect all settlements by paved roads and

footpaths. By 2015 reach all settlements with reliable means of mass

transit. Adequate transport services to access emergency health

care during for childbirth complications

Urban Infrastructure Resource Needs Key Points

In comparison to rural areas:– Higher emphasis on networked infrastructure (e.g. electricity and

sewers)– Higher ability to pay among users requiring – among other –

improved financial services

Include costs of trunk infrastructure Include resources needed to facilitate cost-recovery where

appropriate (staff, financing mechanisms, infrastructure) Scope for cost-recovery and co-financing should be defined in

light of TOTAL household needs Needs assessment tools available for domestic water supply,

sanitation, energy, and slum upgrading.
