Why urban observatories?
Institutions to help governments, local authorities and civil society . . . Collect, manage, analyze and use information Understand cities as socio/economic systems Use knowledge for more effective national and
local action planning and urban policy
What is a local urban observatory?
Usually an existing entity. . . City planning department University or NGO Other capable organization in the public or
private sector Single entity or a multi-partner
arrangement
An LUO will have strong links to the policy-making process within the city
What is a national urban observatory?
An existing national consultative structure or agency that can . . .
Coordinate LUOs Serve National Habitat Committee (NHC) Carry out research and analysis Initiate national consultations on national policy
in all sectors
The first goal of the NUO will be a national urban policy framework, if it does not already exist
What is a regional urban observatory?
An existing regional institution or network such as . . .
Regional office or commission of the United Nations system
International umbrella NGO Network of research and training institutions
An RUO may be organized on a geographical or thematic basis

Progress to datePilot networks in six regions 48 LUOs and 12 NUOs established Additional UOs forming spontaneously Regional awareness raising Regional technical training
UOs linked to Istanbul+5 process UOs following I+5 indicators guidelines Reporting guide and basic template distributed Potential UOs identified for indicators
Next steps . . .
Evaluation Activation of identified UOs Expansion of the GUO network Design and dissemination of new tools Development of a central training function Establishment of accreditation process for Uos Activation of local participatory policy processes in
