The high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda was held from 25 to 27 September 2015, in New York, during the United Nations summit. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. All countries and stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will imple- ment this plan. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets, which are integrated and indivisible, demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda, which balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental.
1 Agenda 5 Main Areas 17 Goals 169 Targets 193 Countries
PEOPLE PLANET PROSPERITY PEACE PARTNERSHIP
The new Goals and targets will come into effect on 1 Janua- ry 2016, and will guide the decisions we take over the next fifteen years. All countries will work to implement the Agenda at the regional and global levels, taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development, including national policies and priorities. Governments also acknowledge the importance of the regional and sub-regional dimensions, regional economic integration and interconnectivity in sustainable development. Regional and sub-regional frameworks can facilitate the effective translation of sustainable development policies into concrete action at the national level.

GOAL 11 – Targets
create jobs and prosperity while not straining land and resources. The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty.
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance socially and econo- mically. However, many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to

Data to not leave anyone behind – SDGs Monitorning needs
The General Assembly recognized that baseline data for several of the targets remain unavailable, and called for increased support towards strengthening data collection and capacity building for Member States, to develop natio- nal and global baselines where they are non-existent. They committed to addressing this gap in data collection so as to better inform the measurement of progress, particularly for unclear numerical targets.
A set of global indicators is being developed to assist the follow up and review required by Governments. Quality, accessible, timely and reliable disaggregated data will be needed to help with the measurement of progress and to ensure that no one is left behind. Such data is key to decision-making. Data and information from existing repor- ting mechanisms should be used where possible.
DATA REVOLUTION is the opportunity to improve data that is essential for decision-making, accountability and solving development challenges. Governments and the UN are called to enable data towards playing its full role in the realization of sustainable development, by closing key gaps in access and use of data: between developed and developing countries and between private and public sectors.
The data revolution for sustainable development is:
– the integration of new sources of data – such as quali- tative data, citizen-generated data and perceptions data – with traditional data to produce high-quality information that is more detailed, timely and relevant to foster and monitor sustainable development;
– the increase in the usefulness of data through a much greater degree of openness and transparency and minimi- zing inequality in production, access to and use of data;
– more empowered people, better policies, better decisions and greater participation and accountability, leading to better outcomes for people and the planet. (1) (1) IEAG, A World that Counts Mobilising the Data Revolution for sustainable Development, November 2014
The data revolution for sustainable urban deve- lopment is:
– data are essential for cities to take correct decisions on the best policies to adopt and the means used to track chan- ges and systematically document performance at the outco- me level. Sustainable urban development is a precondition to sustainable development;
– cities require monitoring systems with clear indicators, baseline data, targets and goals to support a city vision and a long-term plan for sustainable development;
– a global monitoring mechanism, that is adaptable to the national and local levels; one that provides a general framework and allow cities to measure progress.
LOCALIZING the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is understood as the role that regional and local governments, such as states/regions/provinces, metropolitan areas and local authorities, play in the monitoring and implementation of the new set of sustainable goals.
Monitoring
The monitoring progress on the goals at sub-national level would allow better assessment of inequalities within countries, which could include, for example, urban/rural and regional breakdowns, and where possible, disaggrega- tion for local authorities and marginal areas, such as slums. Targets will also be set in a way that makes it easier to track different types of inequalities, including spatial ones. (2)
Besides monitoring development outcomes, the global framework proposed for Goal 11 must have a multi-sectoral rationale that is capable of integrating several sectors of sustainable urban development. It should cater for the reinforcement of links of targets, players and sectors. (3)

Main Challenges:
– comparability and standardization are crucial, as they allow data from different sources or time periods to be combined. Too much data is still produced using different standards, for example, there is no standard definition of an “urban” area. Additionally too little data are available at a level of disaggregation that is appropriate to policy makers trying to make decisions about local-level allocation or monitoring equitable outcomes across regions. (1)
– data constraints are more pronounced at the local level than at the national level. This has obvious resource and capacity implications in terms of data collection. In fact, it will require strengthening national statistical offices’ capaci- ty and administrative systems.

The City Prosperity Initiative – a tool to measure sustainable urban development
UN-Habitat’s City Prosperity Initiative is both a metric and a policy dialogue, which offers cities from developed and developing countries the possibility to create indicators and baseline information. It also serves to define targets and goals that can support the formulation of evidence-based policies, including the definition of city-visions and long- term plans that are both ambitious and measurable. The City Prosperity Initiative (CPI) not only provides indices and measurements relevant to cities, it also enables city authorities, as well as local and national stakeholders, to identify opportunities and potential areas of intervention for their cities to become more prosperous. We live in a world that requires choosing the best and most sustainable options. The CPI can play a vital role in the process of informed decision-making.
Growing and ever more complex cities and their inha- bitants no longer have the option of making decisions without the benefit of international validated data and indices.
1. A FLEXIBLE MONITORING FRAMEWORK
The CPI takes into account the contextual needs and particularities of cities. Although it promotes a new urbani- zation model that is universal (cities that are compact, resilient, socially diverse, energy efficient and economically sustainable), it recognizes the need to be adaptable to different city and country circumstances, according to diver- se urbanization challenges and opportunities.
2. A FRAMEWORK THAT PROMOTES INTEGRATION
The CPI promotes integration in the implementation of a more sustainable urbanization model, in order to address the environmental, social and economic objectives of sustai- nability. This integration looks at the mutually reinforcing aspects of the different components of the urbanization process.
3. AN INNOVATIVE TOOL BASED ON SPATIAL ANALYSIS
The CPI structure provides a wealth of new analytical tools based on spatial indicators. New indicators such as street connectivity, public space, agglomeration economies provi- de clear spatial distributions that help increase value judgment and support decision-making.
4. A MULTI-SCALE DECISION-MAKING TOOL
The CPI objective is to support decision- making for multi- scale levels of government ranging from national urban policies to regional and metropolitan strategies; and city-wide interventions to sub-city districts or neighborho- ods. The CPI gives decision-makers the ability to make adequate and evidence-based decisions from a territorial perspective, thus articulating different tiers of government and sectoral interventions in urban areas.
Main Functions
NATIONAL. The CPI supports the development and imple- mentation of integrated national urban policies. Decision- makers are provided with the knowledge to make oppor- tune decisions about their cities small, medium or large – as part of a national system of cities. This helps to amalga- mate the dispersed energy and potential of urban centers, establishing a synergetic connection between urbaniza- tion and national development. This is the case with Mexi- can, Colombian and Saudi مساعدة التعيين – خدمة كتابة المقالات من قبل كبار الكتاب العرب, Arabia programs.
CITY. The CPI produces information at city level, and when data allows, at sub-city level. This information is critical to support local decision-making in key priority areas of development, such as the strengthening of urban legislation and systems of governance, harnessing the urban economy and enhancing urban planning.
METROPOLITAN. The CPI provides information at the regional and metropolitan levels building linkages between municipal governments, articulating responses that contem- plate city regional development and better integration of sectors. The Metropolitan CPI can detect which municipali- ties or districts are more advanced in the prosperity path, proposing solutions for a more harmonious urban development. The metropolitan area of Guadalajara is a good example.

The City Prosperity Initiative – a Global Monitoring Framework for Goal 11 and the SGDs
A comparative analysis of the proposed targets for Goal 11 against the City Prosperity Index shows very high conver- gence among the possible indicators. In general terms, it is clear that all of the targets of Goal 11 can be covered by the CPI framework and indicators. The CPI, as a local monitoring tool (and composite index), can be used to identify, quantify, evaluate, monitor and report on progress made by cities and countries on Goal 11. Undoubtedly, the adoption of the CPI framework and indicators represents an added value, with several advanta- ges. UN-Habitat and development partners are convinced that Goal 11 cannot be achieved in isolation, nor can the Goals of the SDGs. In this sense, while the CPI is proposed as a monitoring tool for Goal 11, several other Goals can be localized and monitored at city level. The CPI provides the framework of analysis of the interrela- tions of Goal 11 and strategic targets across the SDGs that have an urban dimension.
CPI FRAMEWORK ADDED VALUE – Propose a systemic approach of the city. The CPI offers a holistic view of sustainable urban development. It allows establishing and understanding interrelations between different dimensions of city development.
– Provide a single composite value. As a composite Index, the CPI enables the understanding of the state of development of cities in a more integrated manner. This helps local and national governments to visualize how inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements are.
– Establish global benchmarks. The CPI methodology has established global benchmarks for each one of the indica- tors, with sound standardization methods that enable comparisons among different indicators.
– Create baseline data and information. Cities already implementing the CPI have been able to create baseline data, propose local commitments for improvement and monitor progress overtime.
– Provide a global platform for comparability. The CPI offers a platform for comparability among cities, as well as within different countries. This is achieved through the use of various indicators that are homologated and grouped by thematic targets.
– Identify priorities of sustainable urban development. The CPI allows the disaggregation of the different compo- nents of sustainable development in such a manner that it is possible to identify progress and deficits. By isolating key development issues hindering success, it is possible to adopt appropriate policies and corrective measures.
– Provide evidence-based for policy-making and accountability. The CPI is not only a metric, it is also a policy dialogue that supports the formulation of more informed policies.
– Create local/national monitoring systems. The CPI offers the possibility for local and national governments to establish their own monitoring mechanisms, empowering them to monitor and report in a systematic manner.
Conceptualizing Prosperity
Productivity A prosperous city contributes to economic growth and development, generating income, employment and equal opportuni- ties that further provide adequate living standards for the entire population.
Equity and Social Inclusion A city is only prosperous to the extent that poverty and inequalities are minimal. No city can claim to be prosperous when large segments of the population live in abject poverty and deprivation. This involves reducing the incidence of slums and new forms of poverty and marginalization.
Infrastructure A prosperous city deploys the infrastructure, physical assets and amenities – adequate water, sanitation, power supply, road network, information and communications technology, etc. – required to sustain both the population and the economy, and provi- de better quality of life.
Quality of life Prosperous cities provide amenities such as social services, education, health, recreation, safety and security required for improved living standards, enabling the population to maximize individual potential and to lead fulfilling lives.
Environmental Sustainability The growth of cities and their economic development do not destroy or degrade the environment; instead, the city’s natural assets are preserved for the sake of sustainable urbanization. Well-planned cities promote environmental sustainability.
Governance and Legislation Cities are best able to combine sustainability and shared prosperity through effective urban governance and transformational leadership, deploying appropriate and effec- tive policies, laws and regulations, and creating adequate institutional frameworks with strong local institutions and sound institutional arrangements.
