UN-Habitat launches new publication ‘Streets as Public Spaces and Drivers of Urban Prosperity’.
This UN-Habitat’s publication, authored by Dr. Gora Mboup, makes a first attempt to integrate streets into the five dimensions of prosperity measured by the City Prosperity Index (CPI). These five dimensions – productivity, infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, quality of life, and equity/social inclusion – are all strongly linked to the quality of the street pattern.
