Urban development plays a key role in contributing to stronger, healthier, and more inclusive economies in the Pacific. This document lays out the 5-year vision and strategy of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for urban programs, projects, and technical assistance in the Pacific region. It provides an overview of the key constraints to sustainable urban development and more livable cities, as well as opportunities for deepening and scaling up ADB support and engagement in its 14 Pacific developing member countries. The priority areas highlighted for ADB’s support are based on Pacific clients’ ongoing and emerging needs.

Abstract This chapter highlights a number of urban programs related to gardens that rank as the most noteworthy of gardens' new directions in an urban milieu. New directions in garden tourism in urban areas are marked by reaching out to new audiences (where neighborhood demography is changing), community programming, local participation in decision making, attracting new ethnic audiences, and overall outreach to their own particular neighbors. Botanic gardens are also playing a lead role in the application of and education about the need for a sustainable future. Examples of urban garden initiatives in the USA, UK and New Zealand are highlighted.

Abstract We conducted a health impact assessment (HIA) on a french urban renovation program in a disadvantaged neighborhood: the Villeneuve, symbol of the architecture of the great ensembles of the 1970s. The ambitions of this new program are opening to the city, simplification of traffic, requalification of the housing stock, creation of living spaces renovation of public facilities enhancement green spaces ... so many challenges to be met for the attractiveness of the territory and its inscription in the heart of the Metropole. The HIA was conducted collaboratively with the services of the city of Grenoble, Echirolles, and the Metropole. The information used to inform the assessment included profiling the community of the Villeneuve, a comprehensive literature review focussing and semi-structured interviews. Many components of the project were evaluated: access to good quality of green and public spaces; urban design; mobility; access to shops and services and social cohesion. The HIA shows that the urban renovation program is likely to have a mix of negative and positive impacts on health, mental health, wellbeing and social cohesion. In particular on the living environment, the attractiveness, the perception of the neighborhood, on physical security and sense of security, opening of neighborhoods, mix functionality, opportunity for leisure and sports practices. In addition the program provides an opportunity to specifically target reducing health inequalities in the area. The HIA working group has co-built 47 recommendations. These recommendations were than hierarchized according to four criteria: political portability - cost- technical feasibility - temporality. This HIA is a structured approach that allowed the renovation program to be observed with a holistic vision of health around the determinants of health and encouraged partnerships and anticipate health issues as early as possible in the decision-making process of urban programs. Key messages The HIA is a structured approach that allows urban projects to be observed with a holistic vision of health around the determinants of health. The HIA encourage partnerships and anticipate health issues as early as possible in the decision-making process of urban programs.


When implementing housing construction programs, it is necessary to have a single methodological justification for explaining the choice of a specific land plot for withdrawal for urban needs. The author's method of determining the size of the land plot, which is planned to withdraw for the implementation of the city programs, is proposed. Two situations in which it is expedient to use this procedure are considered. The first is when the city needs to determine the maximum size of the free area, which should be negotiated with the owner, based on a set of factors. The second is when the city can carry out the seizure of land for the implementation of urban programs with due regard for the commercial interests of the owner. The use of the proposed mathematical apparatus of the procedure is illustrated by specific examples.

El presente artículo indaga en el enfoque de investigación y metodología de etnografía institucional (EI), la que se centra en develar la forma en que las personas vivencian procesos institucionales de control en la vida cotidiana, cómo se relacionan con complejos institucionales y cómo moldean el continuo de sus vidas cotidianas. Con este fin, la EI es un modo de acercamiento a los fenómenos sociales que toma como punto de partida las experiencias cotidianas, situadas y incorporadas. Surgida desde la sociología feminista, hasta ahora la EI no se ha aplicado a las relaciones entre habitantes e intervenciones urbanas, ni tampoco de manera explícita en América Latina.El objetivo del presente artículo es explorar las posibilidades metodológicas de la EI en contextos urbanos, expandiendo de esta manera la creciente exploración metodológica en la investigación urbana. Con base en el trabajo de campo que se realiza actualmente en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile, se explica cómo la EI puede develar maneras en que las relaciones de control en las intervenciones urbanas (programas y proyectos urbanos específicos) muchas veces dominan e ignoran conocimientos locales y situados.Institutional ethnography as an approach to daily lifeAbstractThis article explores the research and methodology approach of Institutional Ethnography (IE). The IE focuses on unveiling the way in which people experience institutional control processes in everyday life, how subjects relate to institutional complexes, and how they shape the continuum of their daily lives. To this end, the IE is a way of approaching social phenomena that takes everyday experiences as a starting point, situated and embodied. Emerged from the feminist sociology, until now the IE has not been applied to relations among inhabitants and urban interventions, nor explicitly in Latin America.The objective of this article is to explore methodological possibilities for IE in urban contexts, thus expanding the growing methodological exploration in urban research. Based on fieldwork that is currently carried out in the city of Santiago de Chile, it explains that the IE can reveal how the control relationships in urban interventions (specific urban programs and projects) often dominate and ignore local and located knowledge.Keywords: Institutional ethnography – daily experiences – urban living –problematic – control relations. Etnografia institucional como aproximaçâo aohabitar cotidianoResumoO presente artigo indaga na perspectiva de pesquisa e metodologia de Etnografia Institucional (EI).

The paper includes the consideration of existing methods for implementing urban programs in the housing and utilities sector and the urban environment; as a result of the analysis, it was found that they are unsystematic by nature, do not have criteria for evaluating the effectiveness and even the minimum parameters of the required works. In this regard, the paper defines innovative ways of implementing municipal programs in the housing and utilities sector and the urban environment, which take into account the peculiarities of the municipal programs implementation. The method proposed in the paper is based on an innovative approach to determining the targets for ensuring the preservation of the housing stock and improving the quality and comfort of the urban environment in the municipal formation territory. As the main tool, the method of the prospect planning and the selection of functional strategies has been used. In the paper, approaches to the development of innovative methods for planning urban programs in the housing and utilities sector and the urban environment are formed; the selection criteria for the taken organizational and technological decisions of the repair and construction industry in the housing and utilities sector and the urban environment are determined; possible combinations of mastering the types of work for synchronizing the processes of yard landscaping and the overhaul of apartment buildings are established.
