The Urban Thinkers Campus “Smart planning for Sustainable cities” was

hosted at the UNESCO Headquarters, in Paris on the 20th and 21st Janu-

ary 2016.

The Campus was co-organized by three actors:

• FNAU, la Fédération Nationale des Agences d’Urbanisme, (the French

Network of Urban Planning agencies). It gathers more than 1500 pro-

fessionals from 50 agencies, partnership public tools. The urban plan-

ning agencies do observation work, as well as design public policies,

planning or foreseeing strategies. FNAU is both a professional and

an elected representatives network that allow them to dialogue and

work together on their territory. The network is fostering and spreading

innovative local policies and FNAU has a large role in national debates

about urban policies.

• IAU IDF, l’Institut d’Aménagement et d’Urbanisme d’ Île-de-

France, the urban planning agency of the Ile-de-France Region,

that acts as a counselor for the Region on planning, economic and

ecological transition, transportation, and housing. IAU also designs

regional planning programs about urban development.

• PFVT, le Partenariat Français pour la Ville et les Territoires, the

French Partnership for cities and territories, a platform to forecast

French urban expertise at the international level. It coordinates French

strategies and ways French actors participate at international events or

projects.

Introduction

Matrix of linkages - TCWN 1.0 vs. new recommendations

1) The City we need is socially inclusiveSmart planning as a permanent, integrative and participatory pro-

cess

Cities and territories have to tackle current issues: resilience, energetic

transition, climate change, new economic models, and digital revolu-

tion… Urban and territorial segregation remains a crucial problem to be

addressed towards a more inclusive and sustainable development. These

challenges require decentralized action at city, metropolitan and regional

scales, and a systemic and integrated approach in order to offer relevant

solutions, adapted to local contexts.

Smart planning is a process for building a shared vision and coherent

actions between institutions and stakeholders, for urban and territorial

policies, services and land use, through appropriate regulatory frameworks

or instruments.

Planning is mart only if it is an open and collaborative process led by

elected authorities and involving all stakeholders (institutions, economic

actors, citizens and communities, researchers, NGOs…) from initiation to

implementation of projects and services. Smart planning is really a new

way of designing the city through a permanent, integrative and collabora-

tive process focused on the quality of life and urban efficiency.

2) The City we need is well-planned, walkable and transit-friendlySmart planning should offer a matrix to articulate:

• Territorialstrategiesandlanduseregulation

• Prospectivevisionandpresentactions

• Largescaleprojectsandproximitypolicies,followingthesubsidiarity

principle to reach the “good answer at the right level”

• Infrastructures(urbanservices,publicspaces…)and“softpolicies”

(social policies, information services, cultural intermediation, educa-

tion…).

Planning allows us to organize an efficient mobility system. Led by local

authorities, it must:

• Guaranteetherighttomobilityforallandanequitableaccesstourban

resources (jobs, services, culture…)

• Organizeinfrastructuresfortransportandpublicspacestopromote

intermodality (public transport, biking, walking, informal and individual

modes).

3) The City we need is a regenerative cityPlanning is crucial to tackle climate change and environmental risks and

shall be well articulated with energy planning tools. It allows to identify

vulnerability and stakes and to implement sustainable and adaptive man-

agement of policies of urban development aiming to protect and valorise

natural resources and risk areas and to support energy transition by a

balanced urban development, the mix of urban functions, bioclimatic urban

design and renewable energy development…

4) The City we need is economically vibrant and inclusive To ensure diversity and identity, planning must promote solutions adapted

to each context, based on cultural heritage, local ways of life, economic

and natural resources. It must avoid duplicating standard urban models,

but should promote experimentation for testing solutions.

Planning appears as a relevant framework to reduce disparities, avoid

speculation and to reinforce territorial links, cooperation and solidarity

between deprived and wealthy communities, between urban and rural

areas, or within cross-border spaces, and to develop reciprocity processes

based on the responsibility of every stakeholder to manage “territorial

common goods”.

The digital revolution has introduced new ways to handle planning. It

offers opportunities for efficient management and predictability of urban

services (water, energy, mobility) and tools to promote citizens’ participa-

tion. Public authorities must guarantee access to Internet for all and trans-

parency for digital urban data used for the general interest. They must also

ensure that smart technologies address the needs of all users in order to

avoid a digital divide.

5) The City we need is affordable and equitablePlanning provides the framework for integrated housing policies in order

to guarantee the right for all to decent housing and basic services (water,

energy…) and to organize mechanisms to finance affordable housing for

low-income inhabitants.

Key outcomes of the UTCSmart planning as a permanent, integrative and participatory pro-

cess

Smart planning is a process for building a shared vision and coherent

actions between institutions and stakeholders, for urban and territorial

policies services and land use, through appropriate regulatory frameworks

or instruments.

Smart planning requires instruments and empowerment

• Knowledgesharing shouldbethebasisforsmartplanning,organizing

interoperable data, relevant indicators and permanent urban observato-

ries to provide relevant diagnosis and monitoring, measuring, evaluat-

ing and adjusting policies.

• Strategicurbanplanningprovidestheframeworkfor mediation,co-pro-

duction, regulation and formalization between elected authorities, the

private sector and inhabitants. It requires adapted rules of the game;

legislation, formal and informal processes, capacity-building and

financing, and a strong territorial engineering e.g. partnership urban

planning agencies.

• Empowerment of all stakeholders: local authorities, leaders, inhabi-

tants and communities – especially the more vulnerable ones – private

and informal sectors and professionals.

Key recommendationsPlanning is smart only if it’s an open and collaborative process led by elect-

ed authorities and involving all stakeholders (i.e. institutions, economic

actors, citizens and communities, researchers, and NGOs), from initiation

to implementation of projects and services. Smart planning is really a new

way of designing the city through a permanent, integrative and collabora-

tive process focused on the quality of life and urban efficiency.

Smart planning should offer a matrix to articulate:• Territorialstrategies and landuseregulation

• Prospectivevision and presentactions

• Largescaleprojects and proximitypolicies,followingthesubsidiarity

principle to reach “the good answer at the right level”

• Infrastructures suchasurbanservicesorpublicspacesand softpol-

icies (social policies, information services, cultural intermediation,

Planning provides the framework for integrated housing policies to guar-

antee the right for all to decent housing and basic services (such as water

or energy) and to organize mechanisms to finance affordable housing for

low-income inhabitants.

The digital revolution has introduces new ways to handle planning. It

offers opportunities for efficient management and predictability of urban

services (water, energy, mobility) and tools to promote citizen’s partici-

pation. Public authorities must guarantee access to Internet for all and

transparency for digital urban data used for the general interest. Smart

technologies must address the needs of all users in order to avoid a digital

divide.

A sustainable city requires:• Economicmodelsthatpromoteconvergenceofintereststolimit

resource consumption through public-private-people partnerships. It

requires some improvements as empowerment of local authorities or

circular economy.

• Bottom-up contributionsofallprivatesectors,throughinnovativeplat-

forms

• Openandflexiblefinancingsolutionsforallsizesofinnovativeproj-

ects Thus, the sustainability of local authorities is needed and can be

achieved through access to financial independence but also through

mechanisms of equalization that should be guaranteed by national

governments. Local authorities should mobilize loan, fiscal and taxation

resources. Those must join forces to achieve access to financing, credit

markets and loans with tools adapted to each context. Permanent fiscal

resources and land-use and building rights taxations provide sustain-

able financing but require specific legislation, tools and technical ser-

vices (cadaster and land-use rules) to generate value. Accountability of

local authorities is crucial for citizens to have a clear vision on the use

of fiscal resources and cities should engage communities in financial

decisions.

Key actorsSmart planning requires clear responsibilities for all players

Governments should:

• Defineandprovidenationalframeworks,legislationanddataforurban

policies or guarantee their coherence

• Allocateresourcestolocalauthoritiesthroughdecentralizationof

competences, fiscal and financial tools

• Applytheprincipleofsubsidiarity

• Stayinvolvedatthelocallevelwithdecentralizedservices,support

local, authorities, and encourage peer-to-peer and cross-border cooper-

ation of local authorities.

Local authorities should:

• Empowertheirleadershiponlocalpoliciesthroughcompetences,legal,

financial and technical tools and also be exemplary about accountabili-

ty, transparency and democracy

• Empowertheircapacitytoproduceavisionofthefuture,organizepri-

vate sector action and contribution of all citizens through participatory

processes

• Developtheircooperationwithotherinstitutions(suchascities,rural

areas, regions) especially in metropolitan regions

• Promotecapacitybuildingforallcitizens,especiallytheweakestones

(women, young or aging people, low-income people and refugees)

Private sector actors should:

• Empowertheir“territorialresponsibility”andcommitmentinurban

planning

• Promote“decarbonizedsolutions”andthink“smartandsustainable”

not only through a technical approach but also through uses and social

strategies adapted to local context

• Developlinksandcooperationatthelocallevelbetweenlargeand

small firms, research institutions and local authorities to improve sus-

tainability.

Academic and professional actors should:

• Contributetomakemoreintelligible socio-economic, environmental

and territorial situations

• Createnewmethodsandtoolstoimprovemoreparticipatoryplanning

• Contributetodevelopingtoolsandindicatorstoassessurbanpolicies

• Forresearchersespecially,playaroleofinnovation,watchdog

UN-Habitat should:

• Reviewitsgovernancetoincludelocalgovernments,theprivatesector

and civil society organization, inspired by the model of the ILO, to

promote this new inclusive urban paradigm

• Promoteinnovativeurbanactionsandnetworksofcooperationbe-

tween cities (e.g. the Urbact European Program) and support task force

and urban planning initiatives networking for sharing methods

• Provideguidelinestoguaranteeessentialprinciplesindigitalissues

and urban data management

• Provideguidancetodevelopclimateplansandmobilityplans

• Providemechanismsforfundingplanningstrategiesandpoliciesby

grants through international fund as Green Climate Fund for developing

countries.

Outstanding issuesSmart planning must place people at the heart of urban and territorial

development and must promote the “right to the city for all”: the right to

have access to quality of life, jobs, cultural resources, territorial services,

decent and affordable housing, affordable mobility, internet access, among

other issues, and the right to contribute to urban processes, projects

and decision-making. Smart planning must mobilize the expertise of each

person as user, producer, inhabitant and citizen.
