Following the deliberations of the UfM Thematic Working Groups on Affordable and Sustainable Housing and Urban Regeneration
The UfM Strategic Urban Development Action Plan 2040 (henceforth the Action Plan) is an inter-governmental initiative that complements and acts on the UfM Urban Agenda adopted by the Ministers in charge of housing, municipal affairs and urban development of UfM Member States at the Second UfM Ministerial Conference on Sustainable Urban Development, held in Cairo on 22 May 2017.
It offers a framework for integrated, sustainable urban development across the Euro-Mediterranean region by encouraging coordination of policy and action and by promoting partnerships around the planning and design of the built environment; by highlighting the role of the conservation of cultural heritage in urban regeneration and sustainable development; by promoting local empowerment and capacity building; by encouraging citizen engagement; and by supporting implementation and monitoring of urban and regional spatial interventions.
