Green City Action Plans ( GCAP) Urban Management Partnerships (UMP)
Enhancing adaptive capacity of infrastructure and communities
through integrated planning is at the core of improving
Resilience and Livability
GrEEEn City Action Plans
– Vision, goals and a time based investment plan – align with spatial development plan, socio-economic and
environmental co-benefits, – investment programme, leading to environment quality
improvements, climate resilience, and revenues – performance monitoring indicators for green targets, – institutional mechanisms – platform for leveraging innovative financial modalities, – citizen’s feedback and monitoring system for accountability
Urban Management Partnerships
Peer-to-Peer learning for urban transformation, improving efficiency in area performance, institutional change
– Engage “mentors” from “transformed cities”, municipalities, utilities, academia, private sector, local government
– Sharing knowledge, practices and processes of change
– Improving competency in integrated urban & environmental planning, climate resilience, energy efficiency and project management
– Skill development and vocational training
– innovative financing mechanisms for urban infrastructure
– Developing and adopting Decision Support Systems
The partnership can be replicated to other countries in the region.
Urban Management Partnership
Created at various levels to simplify a GCAP initiative, implement multiple actions, promote innovations through ‘working groups’.

Actions combine to generate additional co-benefits

Malaysia : Urban Management Partnership
GCAP priority : Expand the ongoing Melaka river improvements to optimize and integrate use of its waterway and catchment for water supply, water reuse, waste assimilation, storm water retention and discharge, recreation, and transportation
Partnership principles : Multi-sectora initiatives that collectively result in : Cleaner river (with lower treatment costs) and balanced use of waters ensuring
wastewater reduction, diversion and reuse; Greener urban environment, offering recreational opportunities for citizens and tourists
along the river corridor; Improved biodiversity; Reduction of flooding incidences and severity; Alternative cleaner public transportation through the river for citizens and tourists; Platform for stakeholders to learn, engage and collaborate in enhancements of their river.
