The State of Arab Cities 2012 , Challenges of Urban Transition

UN-HABITAT (2012). The State of Arab Cities 2012 - Challenges of Urban Transition

«The Arab world has played a very important role in the history of urbanization. It is the region where urban civilization was born and where urban matters have been addressed for centuries. The Arab urban civilization, as it has evolved over the past millennium, has generated some of the most beautiful cities in the world. This publication is the first ever to comprehensively analyze urbanization processes in the Arab States through the review of its four sub-regions: the Maghreb, the Mashreq, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the least-developed Arab countries of the Southern Tier. »

Handbook of Infrastructure Statistics

Handbook on Infrastructure Statistics

«Addressing inefficiencies and closing the funding gap for infrastructure are critical to Africa’s economic future. However, without dependable statistics on the infrastructure sectors it is difficult for policy makers to determine infrastructure priorities, track progress on infrastructure development, benchmark performance against peers, and evaluate the impact of past investments. The need for comprehensive, comparable and reliable information on infrastructure is widely recognized. For the sustainability of infrastructure databases in Africa, national statistical offices (NSOs) are expected to mainstream the collection and compilation of infrastructure statistics into their routine statistical data gathering and compilation activities over time, so that countries have time series data on infrastructure indicators to help monitor and evaluate key policy challenges. It is to this end that this Handbook on Infrastructure Statistics has been developed to provide a rigorous and consistent basis for the measurement of infrastructure trends in Africa and to ensure the harmonization and standardization of data collection methodologies to allow for benchmarking against regional, sub-regional, and country-level indicators and for further analysis.The Handbook is directed to four main audiences: Data providers at source (regulators, line ministers, utilities, operators, etc.); Data collectors (analysts and consultants in the field); Data managers (at the National Statistical Offices and other organizations) in charge of consolidating and disseminating infrastructure statistics); and Data users (sector specialists and specialized agencies.»

«Cities and Climate Change reviews the linkages between urbanization and climate change, two of the greatest challenges currently facing humanity in the 21st Century, and whose effects are converging in dangerous ways. It illustrates the significant contribution of urban areas to climate change while at the same time highlighting the potentially devastating effects of climate change on urban populations. It reviews policy responses, strategies and practices that are emerging in urban areas to mitigate and adapt to climate change, as well as their potential achievements and constraints. In conclusion, the report argues that urban areas have a pivotal role in both climate change mitigation and adaptation and identifies strategies and approaches for strengthening this role.»
