Economist Impact and UN-Habitat are working together to elevate the importance of sustainable urban development on the global agenda. As its foundation, the programme includes the development of an Urban Performance Index, based on the UN’s Global Urban Monitoring Framework (UMF).

The bi-annual index, developed by Economist Impact in collaboration with and with funding from UN-Habitat, measures the performance of cities across critical areas of urban sustainable development.

The data-driven research and insights-rich content programme will help both city and national leaders to better identify best practices and sustainable interventions, to quantify policy and infrastructure gaps, and to develop pathways for proactive change.

The pilot phase focused on Dhaka, Bangladesh; Lisbon, Portugal; Mombasa, Kenya; Tijuana, Mexico; and Toronto, Canada. Published alongside these key findings is a series dedicated to stories of sustainable urban development which highlight areas of progress. These stories are meant to inspire and empower other city leaders in their efforts to foster prosperity and resilience in urban settings around the world.
