Urban Development

Urban development covers infrastructure for education, health, justice, solid waste, markets, street pavements and cultural heritage protection. These constructions usually form part of specific sector programmes, including capacity building measures. Special attention is also paid to slums of large cities. Rehabilitation and reconstruction comprises in particular social infrastructure following natural disasters or conflicts.

A question: How can the Ecosystem be integrated into the local economic development? Any thoughts? Your input is highly appreciated.
