The Achieving Sustainable Development Programme (ASUD) represents for UN-Habitat a pilot experience at country level to address the urbanization process from a new paradigm.
The new vision makes a shift in focus and incorporates three essential urban elements into a new, integrated working methodology: Urban Legislation, Urban Design and Urban Finance, as a three-legged strategy in advancing sustainable urbanization.
ASUD uses evidence-based knowledge to tackle urbanization as a complex process and builds on the potential of urbanization as a powerful transformative power when properly managed. ASUD is the integrated strategy for urban improvement, in five pilot countries.
