WIEGO Briefing Notes

Informed by a vision of cities that include the working poor in urban planning processes, WIEGO’s Urban Policies Briefing Notes disseminate information on planning, policies and organisational practices that affect the urban informal economy including the analysis of critical threats to inclusive planning.  This series supports advocacy processes and disseminates better practices and ideas with the aim of contributing to a more people-centred approach to urban development.
