| Summary: | Urbanization is simultaneously a
major driver of development, wealth creation, and poverty
reduction, as well as one of the most pressing challenges of
the 21st century. The building regulatory capacity
assessment provides an important contribution to help cities
and project managers working with development agencies to
implement this last priority by offering a new resource to
assess building and land use regulatory systems, and
facilitate the collection of critical information about the
building regulatory framework in any given city or country.
The building regulatory capacity assessment is comprised of
the level 1 - initial screening, designed for government
officials and project managers undertaking rapid preliminary
assessments. It provides an opportunity to initiate
conversations with clients and relevant parties on
strategies for achieving relevant development objectives.
Level 1 is complemented by a level 2 - detailed exploration,
which provides a set of guidelines for team members and
contractors who are tasked with gathering and analyzing data
and information about the building regulatory capacity of
the target country, region, or municipality. Overall, the
assessment identifies critical gaps, it provides the
necessary information to develop a baseline for formulating
technical assistance to clients, as well as drawing findings
that can be used to determine areas for improvement and
investment. As part of the building regulation for
resilience program supported by the global facility for
disaster reduction and recovery, the authors hope that this
assessment tool will offer an effective resource for
interventions within a wide range of urban development
initiatives in cities of low and middle-income countries. |
