Overview :
The Global Future Cities Programme (GFCP) under the UK Foreign and Commonwealth’s Prosperity Fund (UK FCO) aims to deliver targeted interventions in 19 cities across 10 countries to encourage sustainable development, increase prosperity whilst alleviating high levels of urban poverty. The programme will also create significant short and long-term business opportunities in growing markets forecast to be regional growth hubs. In addition, the programme will make a significant contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and implementation of the New Urban Agenda (NUA).
The Global Future Cities Programme includes cities in Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Turkey, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
The programme builds upon three integrated pillars, that collectively will address key barriers to prosperity, in selected cities :
- Urban planning – technical assistance for spatial restructuring (city strategies, urban renewal, regeneration, master planning and planning frameworks) ;
- Transportation – technical assistance to support cities to develop integrated multi-modal public transport systems ;
- Resilience – technical assistance to develop strategies to address the impact of climate change (e.g. flooding) and ensure development is sustainable.
The programme is delivered in two phases: a Strategic Development Phase, followed by an Implementation Phase.
The overall result of this consultancy is to enhance the national and local governments to scale up successful local-level approaches through tools development and application, and project finance, planning and policy advise towards sustainable urbanization.
