State of the world’s cities 2012/2013: The prosperity of cities

From: Yona Maro

This Report focuses on the notion of prosperity and its realization in urban areas. It calls for a new type of city one that: (i) is more ‘people-centred;’ (ii) includes vital dimensions such as quality of life, adequate infrastructures, equity and environmental sustainability; (iii) reduces disaster risks and vulnerabilities for the poor; (iv) builds resilience; (v) creates harmony; and (vi) promotes prosperity; and stimulates local job creation and social diversity. It recommends that those engaged in development work need to explore a more inclusive notion of prosperity and development.
