The Urban Management Programme (UMP) established in 1986, represents a major effort by UN-HABITAT and UNDP, together with external support agencies, to strengthen the contribution that cities and towns in developing countries make towards economic growth, social development and the alleviation of poverty. Over the past 18 years, UMP has been able to promote innovative urban management practices, establish and strengthen municipal networks, and influence local and national urban policies and programmes. As a network of over 40 anchor and partner institutions covering 140 cities in 58 countries, it has been able to provide a platform for partners to engage in work related to emerging urban themes and processes.

The effort to coordinate and integrate public as well as private actions to tackle the major problems the inhabitants of cities are facing and to make a more competitive, equitable and sustainable city. Competitiveness can be improved by an action planning or strategic planning exercise in which the people concerned participate, by using information technology and if initiated by an official or politician who will also be involved in implementing these ideas, with the objective to make the city more competitive, equitable and sustainable.
