gender equality

Progress in these areas will enable access to increased economic opportunities,

increased productivity, a healthier environment, improved health outcomes and a better
quality of life.

The programme will work with the governments of Brazil, Myanmar (Burma), Indonesia,
Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam to:

positively influence the shape of their city plans and investments

drive inclusive and sustainable local growth
open up opportunities for international business, including the UK

Interventions will include:

transportation: technical assistance to support cities to develop integrated multi-modal

public transport systems

urban planning: spatial restructuring

resilience: develop strategies to address the impact of climate change and ensure
development is sustainable

As the department delivering the programme, the Foreign, Commonwealth &

Development Office, will work with partner governments to implement these
interventions. Smart technology and data and project financing will support further
investment.

Phase 1 of the programme (strategic development), from May 2018 to April 2019,
included testing interventions and agreeing projects with our Country and City partners.

Phase 2 (implementation) commenced in summer 2019 and is expected to continue over

the next 2 to 3 years.
