- 10:30-11:30 UCLG Financial Management Committee [S1] (Members only) 10:30-12:00 Workshop The contribution of public transport to the competitiveness of cities [S2] [International Association of Public Transport (UITP)] By directly contributing to the competitiveness of cities, public transport enables savings and creates value for individuals, businesses and public authorities, notably through higher tax revenues. Public transport also helps leverage private investment in the city. When public transport schemes are integrated into economic development strategies – urban development and

housing policies, education and employment strategies, as well as the tourism sector – cities are able to truly flourish.

Sustainable City [S5] This Permanent Working Platform dedicated to the Right to the City aims at creating a guide of strategies for its implementation, based on practices and experiences that civil society is pursuing in cities. It is complementary to the Policy Dialogue on the Right to the City. How do we promote the Right to the City in the policies of local governments? In UCLG we believe that the Right to the City is a wager which has to articulate the new governance necessary to achieve the kind of society that can face the uncertain future challenges and achieve the development goals agreed jointly in the 2030 Agenda. The first session will address the right to the sustainable city. The proposals for remunicipalization of sanitation services in some Spanish cities and even the establishment of clean energy entreprises show the challenges that local governments need to face with regards to sustainability. At the same time, the “caring city” model broadens the sustainability concept, positioning “life” and the conditions that sustain it at the center of public policy. Furthermore, the right to the sustainable city interacts with social economy, commons management, collaborative production models in cities, and changes in consumption patterns. The right to the sustainable city guarantees the social function of tenure, land and



the city. The right to the sustainable city relies on the responsible and shared management of the ecological commons. Moderator: Bernardo Gutierrez, Journalist 10:30-12:00 Meeting Metropolis Secretaries General Meeting [S6] (By invitation)

Metropolis, World Association of the Major Metropolises, is the largest association gathering the governments of major cities all over the world. As part of the global movement that advocates for democratic local self-government, Metropolis recognizes that local governments are the key actors to respond to the urban challenges of our century. Created in 1985, Metropolis currently represents the authorities of 137 great cities and metropolitan areas in Africa, the Americas & the Caribbean, Asia & the Pacific, and Europe. Metropolis is as well the metropolitan section of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). 10:30-12:00 Elevator Pitch Inclusive and Transparent City Development: To Share Seoul’s Policies and Best Practices [Network Hub] Led by the Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda, global society has turned its focus to promoting inclusive cities. In this worldwide trend, Seoul will present its “Inclusive City Policy”, focusing on housing and urban regeneration, as well as its innovative e-government system for transparent public construction management. More concretely, the session will debate the following best practices as examples of inclusive and transparent urban development policies: Seoul's public rental housing expansion; Seoul's urban restoration and vitalization strategy; Transparency through the "Clean Construction System" (CCS) for public construction management; Creating a network supporting policy exchanges to promote shared prosperity for world cities.

11:30-13:30 UCLG Committee on Statutory Affairs [S1] (Members only) 12:00-13:30 Workshop Cities: the future of humane, evidence-based and effective drug policies [S2] [Global Commission on Drug Policy]

Cities have been and will continue to be innovation hubs for social development policies, including drug policy reform such as decriminalization of personal use of drugs and small-scale cultivation by municipal police, citizen security initiatives and harm reduction programs. Harnessing the power of cities and local government in positive change, including reducing inequality, and supporting economic and educational opportunities will be crucial in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2011, the Global Commission on Drug Policy has been a key reference for drug policy on a local, national, regional and international level. This session aims to attract current city and local government officials so that they can better understand their capacity in addressing drug use, trafficking and production, as well as providing concrete lessons learned. The Global Commission will also be discussing its local cities initiative at this event, during which specific cities will be asked to commit to implementing effective decriminalization and harm reduction programs on the local level.

12:00-13:30 Permanent Working Platform Co-creating the city - Right to the Living City [S5] The living city, based on neighborhood and territorial human networks, has become crucial for many local governments and urban social movements. The living city, permeated at the same time by the struggle for human rights and the right to decent housing, has become one of

the most inspiring narratives to advocate against gentrification processes, real estate speculation and public spaces privatization. 12:00-13:30 Workshop Connect [S6] [Platforma] The objective of the CONNECT Mechanism is to facilitate effective transfer of specific local and regional government know-how, in particular via brokering, which will allow local and regional governments in partner countries (the demand side) to find available expertise in European countries and beyond (the supply side), in order to contribute to capacity development. This workshop will shed light on the background and context of this initiative, highlight the next steps to be taken, as well as describe the relevance of the CONNECT Mechanism to the audience. - Peter Knip, Director of VNG International - Sokun Dara Pok, Director of National League of

[S1] The success of the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda will depend on effective, accountable and transparent institutions. That's why local democracy must be the foundation of both agendas. Because it is at local level, where government is closest to the people, that citizens engage with their institutions every day. We want a world in which all local governments are equipped with the powers and resources

necessary to respond to the needs and priorities of their communities. In which local democracy is made a reality through ongoing, effective citizen participation in decision-making. In which local budgets, procurement and hiring, and decision-making mechanisms are transparent. And in which citizens can hold local institutions accountable for their decisions. Elected local and regional leaders are uniquely placed to promote collaborative, participatory and integrated governance. This policy dialogue will explore how to empower local leaders to work with their communities to co-create their cities and territories. - Khalifa Sall, Mayor of Dakar, President of

Meeting of the Latin American members of UCLG, in order to consult, coordinate and adopt the section’s policies towards UCLG. 16:30-18:00 Workshop Migration and mobility [S4] Cities and metropolitan areas are the main locus of integration and should play a relevant role in



the migration governance, as they implement local policies to ensure the social cohesion of their territory. Furthermore, the increasing urbanization of migration flows in the recent years implies new challenges for the strategic planning at urban areas level. Nevertheless, this issue could be tackled through innovative, inclusive and participative approach in order to turn migration into an opportunity for social and economic development at local level. At this regards, the workshop on Migration and Mobility will allow Local

Authorities to share their specific experience and to generate a common reflection on our role as local governments in this field and also to take advantage of experiences and innovations of each other as a source of learning. Co-organizers: - UCLG Working Group on Migration and Co-

16:30-18:00 Elevator Pitch The "Lancet Series" on Urban Design, Transport and Population Health [Network Hub] Major global health challenges are being confronted in the 21st century, prompting calls to re-think approaches to disease prevention. City planning that reduces non-communicable diseases and road trauma, while managing rapid urbanisation is part of

the solution. The Lancet series focuses on the health impact of city planning through transport mode options and choices. The three papers unravel the complexity of urban design, the transport system and population health and provide a paradigm shift in our approach to responding to the growing burden of chronic disease and injury in our cities. The series offers key recommendations that urban and transport planners and policymakers could implement to improve the health of urban populations. Organizers: - The Lancet - University of Melbourne 16:30-18:00 Permanent Working Platform Co-creating the city - Future of Cities: Eight Forces Foresight [Grand Saloon] This session will aim to foresight the major changes that cities will face over the coming decades, as well as suggest how local governments will need to adapt to cope with them. Proceding from scenarios closely involved with futuristic thinkers, the speakers will contribute to introduce ideas and ways of thiking that are not properly included in the official discussions and yet will have a direct impact on our urban future. - Jason Tester, Research Affiliate of Institute

for the Future (IFTF) - Boyd Cohen, Professor of EADA Business

School

Moderator: Jason Tester, Research Affiliate of Institute for the Future (IFTF) 18:00-19:30 Community Forum – Intermediary cities [S1]

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call

explicitly for role and functions of all types of cities

to be more clearly defined, and for systems of

cities to be managed more efficiently. These goals

are vital for intermediary cities (i-cities), which

support more than one-third of the world’s urban

population. In developed economies, while many

i-cities are facing economic uncertainty, others

have grown into dynamic actors of the new global

economy. In most developing economies, on the

other hand, i-cities are growing rapidly and facing



significant development pressures from

urbanization.

In all world regions, intermediary cities – despite

their significant potential – are struggling to

manage the impacts of global economic

transformations and urban development, as well

as to take advantage of their human scale to offer

a better quality of life to their citizens.

Their pivotal role in the achievement of more

balanced and sustainable urbanization processes

and the reduction of territorial inequalities

requires, in particular, that i-cities are given more

attention within the global debate towards the

New Urban Agenda.

These institutions have been working together since 2014 in an effort to identify trends in the way cities are governed. Local governments all around the world continue to face critical decisions about how to face current demands and plan for their immediate urban future in a situation where urbanization rates are influencing development dynamics on a global scale,

posing unprecedented challenges for urban governance. The session will be a perfect opportunity to present the results of the urban governance survey and the features and usefulness of the platform, as well as to offer a space for cities to engage and discuss about current urban governance trends and challenges.

09:00-10:30 Community Forum – Metropolitan and peripheral cities [S2] The world is moving towards a “metropolitan age” characterized by large, growing urban agglomerations, with a complexity and diversity

that are unprecedented for our civilizations. An emerging and more integrated global system of cities, megacities, urban regions and corridors is changing and re-shaping the global urban landscape and the future of our societies. There were just five mega-cities of more than 10 million inhabitants at the time of Habitat I in 1976. Today there are 31, three quarters of them in the global South. Many metropolitan areas host massive concentrations of wealth and offer promising opportunities for growth while, at the same time, denying or failing to ensure a number of fundamental rights, like decent housing and access to quality basic services. Many large cities aim to compete for growth and investment in a globalized world but, at the same time, are unable to effectively address their own inequalities, which entrench exclusion and marginality. Many areas that bear the promise of an improved quality of life are at risk by the irreversible depletion of their natural resources and life-support systems. However, if adequately empowered and managed, metropolitan areas are where many of the world’s most pressing challenges can be addressed and solved.

International action by local governments is always

subject to heavy political debate. What are the most innovative arguments in favor of engaging in decentralized cooperation? How do the arguments differ across the world? 10 students from Universidad del Rosario engage in a simulated council debate on an international partnership between the fictitious city of Plato de Forma and the equally fictitious city of Escuerra. Four fictitional political groups practice their arguments on each other – and on the participants of the Congress. The workshop is based on the Model UN, adapted to fit the reality of a local political council. Debates will be lively and you can participate by sharing your experience and give advice to these future decision makers. Chairing: - Íñigo de la Serna, Mayor of Santander, Acting

At the same time, in the age of ubiquitous connectity, smartphones and proactive citizenship, any corner of a city can become a learning and exchange space. The learning city, according to the definition of the urban planner Domenico di Siena, implies “shifting from models based on efficient goods and services

production that oblige us to constantly move (and consume) to models based on information management and knowledge production (self-organization)”. The “right to the city of learning” relies on the free access to and free movement of knowledge and culture. 09:00-10:30 Learning Forum Practical Sessions - The art of Strategic Facilitation

eThekwini Facilitation is essential for any learning event. Facilitators carry the responsibility to ensure that the audience, the methodology, and the speakers are linked together. In order to be efficient, facilitators need a series of soft skills to share

observations, gather outcomes, plan and adjust the learning methodologies to meet the needs and achieve the expected results. For these reasons, this session will be a training workshop on “The Art of Strategic Facilitation”. In this workshop participants will actively explore some of the essential skills for good facilitation. MILE will coordinate this workshop.

Adequate national urban policies combined with a territorial approach to development are instrumental in driving a more balanced and powerful national development. To harness local potential, national governments must ensure an enabling environment in which local and regional governments can experiment, innovate, and tap on the resources and competitive advantages offered by their locations and populations. - Clark Somerville, President of Federation of

concept of “right to the city” to the one of “right to the democratic city”. Citizen participation in urban planning processes, communications privacy, citizen deliberative processes, civic hacking movements for transparency, commoning data and direct democracy in urban environements expand the horizon of the “right to the democratic city”. 11:00-12:30 Learning Forum

Practical Sessions - Mobility [S6] Co-Organizers: - Connective Cities

The Learning session on Mobility facilitates the exchange among cities’ representatives and their learning from experience. It focuses on different issues of urban transport systems and urban mobility. To this regard, a participatory method, using a mixture of Gallery of Good Practices and Practitioners’ corner will shape the workshop.

The International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning serve both as a source of inspiration and a compass for decision makers and urban professionals when reviewing urban and territorial planning systems. The Guidelines provide national governments, local authorities, civil society organizations and planning professionals with a global reference framework that promotes more compact, socially inclusive, better integrated and connected cities and territories that foster sustainable urban development and are resilient to climate change.

12:30-14:00 Lunch [Lunch Pavilion] 14:00-15:30 Plenary - Links between the 2030 Agenda and the New Urban Agenda [Grand Saloon] Over the span of one year, the international community will have adopted three ambitious agendas; the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and, next October in Quito, the New Urban Agenda. Local and regional governments have strongly advocated for these agendas. In a fast-urbanizing world, they argued that the SDGs need to further take the urban and territorial dimensions of sustainable development into account – going well beyond Goal 11 – and that the New Urban Agenda should be fully embedded in the achievement of the SDGs and the Paris Agreement. Local and regional governments have shown that they are essential for the achievement of these agendas but that their role need to be redefined to ensure adequate governance and follow-up at national and global levels. - Denis Coderre, Mayor of Montreal, President of

take a more active role in defining and driving the development of prosperous, inclusive and sustainable territories. Cities and regions across the globe are leading the way in reducing their environmental footprints, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, and working to promote the use of renewable energies and protect bio-diversity. Local governments are also collaborating internationally to set shared targets and to measure their progress in tackling climate change.

Subnational governments are also increasingly involved in local economic development. One of the key challenges for the future is link up the creation of decent jobs and poverty reduction with the quest for environmental sustainability. The use of new technologies and cultural initiatives to develop new patterns of production and consumption at local level will be a vital part of this process. - Dina Oyun, Mayor of Kyzyl - Federico Gutiérrez, Mayor of Medellín

18:00-19:30 Workshop UCLG City of Bogotá Peace Prize Finals [S3] The UCLG City of Bogotá Peace Prize is a triennial award for (a coalition of) local governments that have implemented initiatives in conflict prevention, conflict resolution or peace building, that are proven to have had a significant positive impact. The prize aims to contribute to full

acknowledgement of the important but often overlooked role of local governments as peace building actors, thus creating a more effective approach to conflict resolution. Supported by UCLG and its members, the UCLG Peace Prize has been made possible by contributions, financial and in terms of content, by the City of Bogotá, the Provincial Council of Barcelona, the Dutch NGO PAX and VNG International, the international cooperation agency of the VNG. The high-level jury of the UCLG City of Bogotá Peace Prize has selected the five finalists for the prize. In this session, these finalists will present their initiatives for the jury and audience. The jury will decide on the winner after the session and the prize will be awarded during the General Assembly on 14 October. Jury Members: - Rafael Grasa, Former President of International

The workshop aims to review how to bring back territorial development at the heart of the food system evolution and also how to implement at the local level the SDG 2 on food security. The food transition that regional leaders hope relies on two transformations highly correlated: the relocation of production and the food consumption as well as the development of a social, environmental and cultural responsibility of actors from the agro-food chain.

The complementarity between the urban and the rural can be achieved by considering the agricultural land as a creator of economic activities and jobs, but also as a factor of positive social and environmental externalities. This is one of the central elements that constitutes cities’ food policies and in the same line, the quality of life of their inhabitants. - Benoit Faucheux, Vice President of Centre-Val

18:00-19:30 Workshop HIV and Cities: a contribution to healthy and

inclusive societies [C2] [Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)] Urban strategies and actions are central to achieving the SDGs, including ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Since World AIDS Day 2014, UNAIDS jointly launched the Paris Declaration on Fast-Track Cities Ending the AIDS Epidemic, more than 200 cities and municipalities around the world



have committed to accelerate, focus and scale up their AIDS responses. Integrating the HIV response into the Sustainable Development agenda provides further opportunity to ensure better health, reduce inequality, advance human rights, and promote inclusive and equitable societies. Many cities, with their unique understanding of the socio-cultural differences and vulnerabilities of their populations, are also in a position to demonstrate pillars of the New Urban Agenda in action by supporting and strengthening HIV prevention

services and responding to the stigma and discrimination of people most affected by HIV and AIDS. The Cities of Bogota and Medellin are examples of local governments implementing innovative strategies to respond to the HIV epidemic putting them on the Fast Track to end the AIDS epidemic. - Martín Santiago, United Nations Resident

These changes in political and territorial structures have forced regions and intermediary governments to voice their demands before the international

community and forge a natural alliance with local authorities.



Regions are key actors in the achievement of the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda; their competencies range from to territorial planning to economic development, to the provision of infrastructures, environmental management, equality, education, health, and food security policies, among others. This debate will focus on regions’ role in multi-level governance and the achievement of more balanced territorial development, as well as a strengthened cooperation among urban and rural areas.

Yet, it also refers to three different issues: diversity, remembrance/heritage and creativity. Public policies for diverse cities also need to address a key consideration: the exercise of cultural rights and the access to culture. The presence of cultural manifestations accessible to everyone, either in public spaces or facilities (libraries, halls, etc.), stand for a traditional approach of it. The new responsibility of public authorities implies highlighting, facilitating and acknowledging autonomous cultural manifestations in cities. In this way, interculturality can become a tool and place for dialogue among the different cultures and cultural manifestations

that inhabit the city, and public authorities can shift its logics and interact with “the commons”. 09:00-10:30 Workshop From Compact of Mayors to Global Covenant of Mayors: how local climate action will deliver on the Paris Agreement [S6] [Compact of Mayors, Global Covenant of Mayors for



Climate and Energy] The moderated discussion will introduce the new Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy to an audience of mayors and city officials, many of which are already part of either the Compact of Mayors or the European Commission’s Covenant of Mayors. Pulling on first person testimonials from participating mayors of Compact and Covenant cities, the session will go through the various stages of the Compact and GCM and discuss what the goals

and mission will be once the merged effort goes live on January 1, 2017. - Tri Rismaharini, Mayor of Surabaya - Mohamed Sefiani, Mayor of Chefchaouen - Paris (TBC) - Seoul (TBC) - Quito (TBC) 09:00-09:30 Presentations Corner Digitizing Rio and Porto Maravilha [Network Hub] [Cisco] The Porto Maravilha Urban Innovation Legacy Project, a partnership between Cisco and the City of Rio de Janeiro, will help transform the Porto Maravilha region into a smarter and more human neighborhood, where citizens connect to one another, to the city, to the government and become “makers” of the city. By deploying an Internet of Things (IoT), Cisco is also helping transform the Porto Maravilha region into a living lab and innovation hub, enabling fast deployment of future smart services including those developed by citizens themselves, as well as fostering social entrepreneurship.

09:30-10:00 Presentations Corner Metropolis Policy Transfer Platform [Network Hub] [Metropolis, Berlin] The Metropolis Policy Transfer Platform (PTP), developed by the city of Berlin in partnership with the

The platform offers urban administrators, experts, practitioners, researchers and journalists the tools to exchange around innovative case studies and to become part of a growing global knowledge community. For the first time, urban professionals can now search shortlisted and award-winning projects and policies from different urban awards and annual editions within seconds. 10:00-10:30 Presentations Corner Bilbao city of opportunities [Network Hub] [Bilbao] The presentation aims to show how a city, traditionally considered an industrial one, had to face the decline of the industrial era, making way to become a post-industrial metropolis. During the last 30 years Bilbao has become a competitive, modern, efficient and attractive city to live, work and visit. Currently, the social and economic climate of the city stimulates the development of new technologies, promotes industrial innovation with a high value added and encourages tourism, culture, leisure and other services of an advanced society. 10:30-11:00 Networking Break It is your chance to visit the Network Hub 11:00-12:30 Policy Dialogue - The Right to the City at the heart of the New Urban Agenda [S1] [UCLG Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights] Local and regional governments have called for the Right to the City to guide all the dimensions of the New Urban Agenda.

This is particularly true in the case of women, who are still vastly underrepresented; it is estimated that women make up fewer than 20% of councillors and just 5% of mayors worldwide. UCLG hopes its 2016-2019 mandate will be a tipping point for women presence in the organization and to its work fostering women participation across the world. There has never been a more exciting time to bring together locally elected women from across the world. All women and girls in our cities and territories must be empowered to participate in economic, cultural and political life. Female empowerment is both a goal and a means of sustainable urban development and integrating a gender perspective into all local policymaking is essential to the achievement of SDG 5 and the New Urban Agenda.

11:00-12:30 Learning Forum Practical Sessions – City-to-City and South-South and Triangular Cooperation for Decent Work [S3] Co-Organizers:

- International Labour Organization (ILO) The thematic session will explore the value of City-to-City cooperation linked to the challenges of the SDG 8. City to city cooperation has been increasingly linked to, and has benefited from the practice of South-South and triangular cooperation as an innovative means to develop local solutions to often global issues. SSTC constitutes an exchange among equals, the identification of innovative practices, and promotes collaborative initiatives at the national, regional, and interregional levels. Participants will work on topics related to local economic development and decent work on which they have already engaged or wish to engage in the future. They will be asked to identify synergies and possible linkages in order to reinforce City to city cooperation on decent work. A final debate, building on the discussions, will help examine potential topics and partners. - Kesarralal Gunasekera, Former Deputy Mayor of

Co-creating the city - Future of Cities: Experimental Cities [S5] Cities are taking the lead. Cities have the potential of being the bold thinkers of our urban times, the experimenters, the idea-makers, the ones implementing change that is capable of affecting millions of lives on a daily basis. With this experimental mission for their cities, several



forward-thinking Mayors have seen the need to create mechanisms for new ideas to be tested; sometimes even creating new types of government offices within government, immersed both in day to day solutions as well as thinking about the future of cities. In this panel both directors of Labs as well as organisations working closely with government will jointly speak about their journey, the projects, possibilities and risks of Lab-type practices; as well as visions of the future and the potential of an

experimental and creative society. - Jean-Christophe Choblet, Public Space Lab, Paris

[Network Hub] [Mayors for Peace, Granollers] The purpose of this session is to present the network of Mayors for Peace, created in 1982 by Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the aim of promoting international demand for a world at peace and free of nuclear weapons. Currently the Network, recognized as an NGO with consultative status by the United Nations, is formed

by more than 7,000 cities around the world, which has enabled the concept of peace to go beyond the dimension of the disappearance of Nuclear Weapons.

11:30-12:00 Presentations Corner Taipei - Gender Equality [Network Hub] [Taipei] The Committee of Women’s Right Promotion, established in 1996, aims to promote gender equality . Since its establishment, the committee has prompted the creation of the Office for Gender Equality in the Taipei City government and has constantly pushed for gender equality. Examples of successful cases include making awareness of sexuality equality part of policy development. Through our intervention, Taipei City has become more egalitarian, and the committee is now directly planning and supervising policy implementation in Taipei in areas such as the metro system, design in the metro and pedestrian sidewalks. Taipei City continues to be fully committed to advocating for gender equality and implementing CEDAW to striving to be a world-class city. 12:00-12:30 Presentations Corner Towards the Human City [Network Hub] [CAD] -Continued- 12:30-14:00 Lunch [Lunch Pavilion]

According to previous studies, the amount



of funding dedicated to investments should be, on average, doubled or even tripled over the next 15 to 20 years. With the general process of decentralization, local governments are currently on the front line when it comes to meeting the needs of the population, supporting economic growth, and implementing the necessary mitigation and adaptation strategies to face climate change. The UCLG World Congress in Bogotá will unveil the first edition of a study on the state of local finances in 100 countries around the world realized jointly with UCLG

and OECD, with financial support from AFD. It will be a first step towards the Global Observatory on Local Finances which will be an essential tool for the follow-up of local government. Luiz de Mello, Deputy Director at Public

The accelerating trend of urbanization is paralleled by an increasing number of crisis-affected populations residing in cities. By 2050 over 70% of the global population will live in urban areas. Cities and their inhabitants can be directly impacted by natural disasters or conflicts; they can also become a safe haven for forcibly displaced populations. Either way, cities are profoundly affected by crisis and the resulting pressure and competition over scarcer services, housing and livelihoods opportunities. Reinforcing local governments role in all stages of

crisis management will enable a continuum between emergency relief and reconstruction planning toward sustainable development. It will ensure the sustainability of the urban planning; help to assess and plan to reduce vulnerability; and foster the development of resilient territories. - Richard Vargas, Director of Risks Management

(CUSP) The session on public space links to the Learning Agenda directly as the information influencing the content - namely the Policy Framework - was developed using some of the material obtained during Learning Exchanges. This session provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of learning exchanges and to showcase how learning can be used to influence and shape policy development at the local level. The thematic session on Public Space will be designed using a modified version of the world cafe methodology. For the Public Space workshop we want to develop together with all co-organizers a common question related to the importance of learning in relation to the SDG 11 in particular public space. All co-organizers will have time to present and explore more concrete questions related to learning and Public Space as a key lever for urban development. - Cecilia Andersson, UN-Habitat - Pietro Garau, National Institute of Urban

- Guangzhou - UCLG - Metropolis Every two years, cities and regions are invited to participate in the Guangzhou International Award for Urban Innovation, and this year the number of applications has reached a new high with over 400 initiatives from more than 200 cities from all corners of the world. As urban areas continue to grow, cities around the world face new challenges, from

improving their infrastructure to dealing with population growth and climate change. These challenges need to be tackled with innovative approaches to allow us to adapt and to prosper. Learning from each other provides one of the best ways to inspire each other to adopt and adapt new policies, strategies, business models and partnerships to improve the quality of life and resiliency of our communities. This workshop draws on the experience of panelists that are involved in urban innovation and will present and discuss what makes urban innovation successful. - Song Jingwu, Vice President

Guangzhou Award Moderator: Nicholas You, Adviser of the Guangzou Award 18:00-19:30 Permanent Working Platform Co-creating the city - Right to the Fair City [S5] Human rights respect and protection is a cross-cutting issue in several public policies at local level. The right to a fair city pays special attention to gender and equality. At the same time, in the digital era, the right to privacy guides the fight for human rights by many movements in fields such as “human right by design” platforms or problems such as videosurveillance by public WIFI devices. Furthermore, the income redistribution mechanisms

and the polycentrism of cities are key to shed light on the territorial debate and fight against the socio-spatial segregation resulting from the market-based processes that build cities. A decentralized approach to put resources and decisión-making mechanisms in the popular peripheries is essential to address “the commons” and guarantee the fulfilment of human rights.

18:00-19:30 Workshop Governing with the citizen: transparent and accountable local governments in an increasingly urban world [S6] [UN-Habitat, UCLG-MEWA, Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP)] The aim of this session is to discuss a holistic approach to strengthening local government integrity

by highlighting innovative measures that local governments are experimenting to improve transparency and accountability in the field of urban planning and the provision of basic services while ensuring access, quality affordability and safety in the provision, on one side, and the control over the speculative physical development of the city. - Murat Aydin, Mayor of Zeytinburnu, President of

18:30-19:00 Presentations Corner Sustainable city lighting: How digital lighting is

shaping tomorrow’s sustainable cities [Network Hub] [Philips Lighting] Cities are turning to state-of-the-art technology to enhance livability and quality of life of citizens. The increasing integration of networked technologies enables new opportunities to utilize light to enhance public spaces through the connected digital lighting solutions which became an important factor in



Intelligent Cities, especially when combined with a comprehensive urban plan to engage citizens and stakeholders alike. Connected lighting is a unique resource that enables cities to reap the benefits of cost-cutting and energy saving technology while enhancing neighborhoods that support vibrant city life and attract economic activity and tourism. And, it supports city stakeholders to meet their ambitious carbon emission targets. - Barbara Kreissler, Director of B2G Professional

Saturday 15th October 2016 09:00-09:30 GOLD Launch [S1/S2/S3/S4] Since the publication of its first edition in 2008 (GOLD I), the Global Report on Local Democracy and Decentralization (GOLD) has become an international benchmark in the analysis of local governments worldwide. The focus of the GOLD IV report is to place local and regional authorities at the centre of the New Urban Agenda, strengthening the links with the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement, translating its normative horizon into practical policies that will transform human settlements with the involvement of citizens and communities. With this

purpose, the analysis presented in this Report moves away from traditional sectoral approaches, favouring, instead, a broader territorial approach that builds on the vision, experiences and practices of local and regional leaders in charge of metropolises, intermediary cities, small towns and regions. GOLD IV presents the foundation of the Global Agenda of Local and Regional Governments for the coming decade, a set of policy recommendations for all actors and stakeholders in the local and regional governance system, drawn from the vision of local and regional leaders, practitioners and experts. This agenda for metropolises, cities and territories is UCLG’s contribution to the global debate, and an invitation to take the next step: fostering alliances based on strong policies and actions to achieve prosperous, inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and territories. 09:30-11:00 UCLG World Council [S1/S2/S3/S4]
