Outstanding issues
• -Bottom-up contributions of all private sectors, through innovative platforms • Open and flexible financing solutions for all sizes of innovative projects
Smart planning must place people at the heart of urban and territorial development and must promote the “right to the city for all”: the right to have access to quality of life, jobs, cultural resources, territorial services, decent and affordable housing, affordable mobility, internet access, among other issues, and the right to contribute to urban processes, projects and decision-making. Smart planning must mobilize the expertise of each person as user, producer, inhabitant and citizen.
