<strong>CITY</strong> <strong>SANITATION</strong> <strong>PLAN</strong> BAREILLY<br />

The United Nations-HABITAT launched a Global Campaign on <strong>Urban</strong> Governance in the year 1999 in<br />

order to support the implementation <strong>of</strong> the Habitat Agenda goal <strong>of</strong> "sustainable human settlements<br />

development in an urbanizing world ". The goal <strong>of</strong> the Campaign is to contribute to the eradication <strong>of</strong><br />

poverty through improved urban governance. It is now widely believed that the quality <strong>of</strong> governance is<br />

the key factor for the eradication <strong>of</strong> poverty and the creation <strong>of</strong> prosperity in cities. The United Nations-<br />

HABITAT has also been propagating the concept <strong>of</strong> the 'inclusive city'; a city which promotes growth<br />

with equity, a place where everyone, regardless <strong>of</strong> their economic status, gender, race, ethnicity or<br />

religion, is enabled and empowered to fully participate in the social, economic and political<br />

opportunities that cities have to <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />

The definition <strong>of</strong> urban governance according to the Campaign is as follows: "<strong>Urban</strong> Governance is the<br />

sum <strong>of</strong> the many ways individuals and institutions, public and private, plan and manage the common<br />

affairs <strong>of</strong> the city. It is a continuing process through which conflicting or diverse interests may be<br />

accommodated and cooperative action can be taken. It includes formal institutions as well as informal<br />

arrangements and the social capital <strong>of</strong> citizens". Further, the Campaign also defines good urban<br />

governance as follows: "<strong>Urban</strong> governance is inextricably linked to the welfare <strong>of</strong> the citizenry. Good<br />

urban governance must enable women and men to access the benefits <strong>of</strong> urban citizenship. Good urban<br />

governance, based on the principle <strong>of</strong> urban citizenship, affirms that no man, woman or child can be<br />

denied access to the necessities <strong>of</strong> urban life, including adequate shelter, security <strong>of</strong> tenure, safe water,<br />

sanitation, a clean environment, health, education and nutrition, employment and public safety and<br />

mobility. Through good urban governance, citizens are provided with the platform which will allow<br />

them to use their talents to the full to improve their social and economic conditions".<br />
