Localizing Agenda 21 in small cities in Kenya, Morocco and Vietnam

UNCHS (Habitat), PO Box 30030, Nairobi, Kenya; raf.tuts{at}unchs.org

This paper describes a Localizing Agenda 21 programme in three small cities which sought to enhance the local capacity for urban planning and management, for the benefit of the citizens and the quality of their urban environment. It explains the focus of this programme within a growing worldwide Local Agenda 21 movement and describes its two methodological cornerstones the strategic structure planning approach and the capacitybuilding strategy. This is followed by a description of the contexts and thematic action plans in Nakuru, Essaouira and Vinh City, including both the successes and the constraints which limited or slowed progress. The paper finishes with a discussion of the impacts and how these can be assessed, and draws lessons which were learnt while supporting the Local Agenda 21 processes in the three cities.
