Aim of Network
“The Network will focus on the involvement
of cities in Urban Development Fund
(UDF) structures and the way these
instruments can be more effectively
embedded in future city planning and
governance. It will also strive to
demonstrate the role that financial
instruments can play in efficiently
planning, progressing and administering
urban development priorities, particularly
in the context of the current economic
and financial crisis.”
