Why urban observatories?
Institutions to help governments, local
authorities and civil society . . .
Collect, manage, analyze and use information
Understand cities as socio/economic systems
Use knowledge for more effective national and
local action planning and urban policy
What is a local urban
observatory?
Usually an existing entity. . .
City planning department
University or NGO
Other capable organization in the public or
private sector
Single entity or a multi-partner
arrangement
An LUO will have strong links to the policymaking process within the city
What is a national urban
observatory?
An existing national consultative structure
or agency that can . . .
Coordinate LUOs
Serve National Habitat Committee (NHC)
Carry out research and analysis
Initiate national consultations on national policy
in all sectors
The first goal of the NUO will be a national urban
policy framework, if it does not already exist
What is a regional urban
observatory?
An existing regional institution or
network such as . . .
Regional office or commission of the United
Nations system
International umbrella NGO
Network of research and training institutions
An RUO may be organized on a geographical
or thematic basis
