Innovative Policies for the Urban Informal Economy - UNHabitat 2006

This report documents some of these innovative approaches to regulatory reform in selected developing country cities with vibrant informal economies. It also identifies good practices that could be replicated in cities and towns in other countries. The case studies and policy recommendations contained in this report were extensively discussed and reviewed during an Expert Group Meeting on “Municipal Regulation and the Urban Informal Sector” convened by UN-HABITAT in Nairobi, from 13 to 14 February 2006.
