Formation à la planification et à la gestion des infrastructures urbaines & au développement urbain durable

Présentation du programme

Urban infrastructure planning and sustainable development have become central priorities for governments, city authorities, and development partners as cities face rapid population growth, climate pressures, resource constraints, and rising demand for resilient services. Poorly coordinated infrastructure and city systems decisions can lead to congestion, environmental degradation, fiscal stress, and long-term urban vulnerability.

This training programme is designed to equip participants with practical frameworks and tools to plan, design, and manage urban infrastructure systems that are inclusive, resilient, and aligned with sustainable development objectives. The programme focuses on integrated urban planning approaches that connect transport, housing, utilities, land use, climate resilience, and economic development.

The training bridges the gap between infrastructure planning theory and real-world urban decision-making. Participants gain hands-on exposure to strategic planning methods, project prioritization, governance models, and sustainability principles applicable to cities in developing, emerging, and transition economies.

This Urban Infrastructure Planning & City Systems Training supports cities in strengthening integrated planning, governance, and sustainable infrastructure delivery.
