  2. Introduction The urban development investment cluster includes interventions that are crucial for: • slum upgrading and providing alternatives to the formation of new slums • urban infrastructure • urban services • creating a productive urban environment and fostering private sector development www.unmillenniumproject.org

  3. Key Actors • local authorities • organizations of the urban poor • private sector (formal and informal) • central government • district/state/provincial authorities • line ministries www.unmillenniumproject.org

  4. Slum Upgrading and Alternatives to Slum Formation Interventions: • Provision of land where necessary & land management systems. • New housing. • Development of new settlement areas. Global Targets: • Improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by 2020 • Provide alternatives to the formation of new slums and stop the growth of slums by 2006 www.unmillenniumproject.org

  5. Urban Infrastructure Water Supply and Sanitation Interventions: • Infrastructure for water supply, including trunk infrastructure and water treatment. • Private sanitation facilities and public sewers, including emptying of pits and safe disposal of sullage. • Public education on water, waste, sanitation and hygiene • Storm drainage infrastructure Targets: • Halve proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water by 2015. • Halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to basic sanitation by 2015, aiming for an end to the practice of open defecation. • Provide adequate storm water drainage by 2015. www.unmillenniumproject.org

  6. Urban Infrastructure Energy Interventions: • Modern cooking fuels and modern cooking devices • Electrification with a priority on schools and health facilities • Bill collection and monitoring Targets: • By 2008, ensure reliable access to electricity to all schools and health centers. • By 2015, ensure reliable access to modern energy services (including electricity services and improved fuels and devices) to all households www.unmillenniumproject.org

  7. Urban Infrastructure Transport Interventions: • Infrastructure for mass transport • Roads and footpaths, including curbing, streetlights, and other interventions to improve both road and pedestrian safety • Transport services for emergency health care and other critical social services. Possible Targets: • By 2015 connect all settlements by paved roads and footpaths. • By 2015 reach all settlements with reliable means of mass transit. • Adequate transport services to access emergency health care during for childbirth complications www.unmillenniumproject.org

  8. Urban Infrastructure Resource Needs Key Points • In comparison to rural areas: • Higher emphasis on networked infrastructure (e.g. electricity and sewers) • Higher ability to pay among users requiring – among other – improved financial services • Include costs of trunk infrastructure • Include resources needed to facilitate cost-recovery where appropriate (staff, financing mechanisms, infrastructure) • Scope for cost-recovery and co-financing should be defined in light of TOTAL household needs • Needs assessment tools available for domestic water supply, sanitation, energy, and slum upgrading. www.unmillenniumproject.org
