| 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. Urbanization can and should be embraced as
an opportunity to reduce poverty. 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. 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. |
