Background

The Prosperity Fund Global Future Cities Programme aims to support cities in Turkey and other countries to: i) develop sustainably; ii) avoid urban sprawl; iii) mitigate impacts from natural disasters; and iv) inclusively achieve prosperity increases whilst alleviating high levels of city poverty.

Urban planning: Technical assistance for spatial restructuring, for example city strategies, inclusive urban renewal, regeneration, master planning, planning frameworks and participatory urban planning);

Transportation: Technical assistance to support cities to develop integrated multi-modal public transport systems.

There is an emphasis on resilience, advising cities about the development of strategies to address the impact of climate change and natural disasters and ensure that development is sustainable. The programme has a strong focus on technical support and institutional capacity development.
