This joint UNDP/UN-HABITAT project, combining activities from both the Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP) and the Urban Management Programme (UMP), seeks to ensure the integration and coordination of global and regional urban programmes in responding to the needs of Thai local government and civil society. The programme will further develop sustainable urban management in Thailand with the overall purpose of systematically building and strengthening the capacity of Thai local government, and scaling up initiatives at the national level in response to the main urban challenges of rapid decentralization, environmental deterioration and increasing poverty.

The project will produce:- Start-up;
- Good practices documentation and replication strategy;
- Regional networks
- A national consultation on the environmental planning and management capacity-building agenda;
- City consultations; and
- National policy frameworks.
When completed, the project will support and secure the development of sustainable urban settlements throughout Thailand through pro-poor urban environmental management and participatory urban governance.
