A new tool for urban policies in the Mediterranean
On June 2018, MedCities is launching MedUrbanTools, the Mediterranean Urban Development Toolbox. It is an on-line platform and it targets elected authorities, technical staff in cities, experts and other actors interested in Mediterranean urban issues. It is intended to share knowledge, tools, visual material and good practices in the field of sustainable urban development.
MedUrbanTools is structured in three main sections: Cases, Voices and Resources, including contents organized in different managing areas of urban and metropolitan policies.
During this first phase of the toolbox development, more than 50 cities have contributed with their experiences. In addition, more than 10 experts from the Mediterranean region have been interviewed for the video clips production, contributing to the debate while increasing visibility of the initiative.
MedCities has developed this new product taking into account key actors of the Mediterranean opinions and recommendations, such as the Urban Hub of the CMI, which brings together urban experts from institutions such as the World Bank, Cities Alliance, GIZ, Agence Française de Développement (AFD), IEB, UNDP, Agence des Villes et Territoires Méditerranéens Durables (AVITEM) or CODATU.
From now on, MedUrbanTools will increase its contents with more cities experiences and resources in the field of urban policies, in order to become a reference tool in the Mediterranean region.
Cities and actors working in urban policies in the Mediterranean interested in contributing to MedUrbaTools can contact Medcities General Secretary.
