Strategic Citywide Spatial Planning Summary Report
UN-Habitat’s situational analysis of metropolitan Port-au-Prince provides a thorough background to the city’s situation in terms of urban development and planning, and presents a way forward for future planning of the metropolitan area.
This publication makes a case for a participatory approach engaging all key stakeholders in urban development. Such an approach is especially needed in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, where municipalities are asking for support from central government to develop and implement local planning and to deliver basic services. Another key area is the need for institutional capacity building to better enable municipalities and their partners to deliver basic urban services to the city’s residents.
The Citywide Strategic Planning approach presents the key steps for initiating and implementing a strategic planning process in support of sustainable urban development. It attempts to address three strategic planning questions: Where are we today? Where do we want to be? How do we get there? The publication also covers the wider aspects of housing and urban infrastructure as well as the socio-economic situation which constitute key components for achieving sustainable urbanization.
