Ford Foundation - The Just City by Amy Kenyon at GIB Summit
- 2. 2 Global goals for economic development and climate resilience will not be sustained without addressing inequality in access and opportunity.
- 3. Defining a Vision of Just Cities Inclusive Sustainable Prosperous Equitable
- 4. 4 Social Change Goal: Strengthen the Urban Systems that Drive Poverty Reduction and promote Full Participation in Economic and Social Life
- 5. 5 • Formalizing human settlements and upgrading housing • Ensuring that people have access to improved transport infrastructure and communications technology • Fostering quality employment opportunities Supporting comprehensive city and regional planning Applying innovative technologies to equitable urbanization Moving Millions from the Margins to the Mainstream
- 6. Three Dimensions of Challenges 6 • Spatial: housing and transportation policy and networks reinforce old patterns • Gender rights: safety and sanitation • Contested space: securing public space for arts and culture, commerce, and democratic expression
- 7. 7 • Subsidized or free transportation systems • Non-motorized solutions • Better connectivity • Social housing to jobs • Last mile connections • Informal innovation in the absence of public solutions • Standards for BRT, TOD, P3s incorporate social dimension Pro-poor transport strategies
- 8. 8 Hypothesis: if we can develop certain types of projects that advance sustainability and inclusion, we will achieve more robust economic growth while also mitigating against climate change and helping to achieve global goals for poverty alleviation. What would it take to open the gates for investment in this type of project? • Technical assistance / public sector capacity building to create a project pipeline • Rating systems, standardization and investment platforms Pro-poor infrastructure investment

- Why the Ford Foundation is involved in the global dialogue around infrastructure finance and transport solutions. The story of our time is rapid urbanization With over 50% of the world’s population now living in cities and an expectation of reaching 60% by 2030, with the addition of over one billion urban dwellers, how cities provide access to opportunity, strengthen democratic governance and foster inclusion of diverse populations, will be critical to our social justice goals.
- Economic inclusion and access to opportunity is not only a normative goal or moral imperative – it is increasingly understood to be a necessary input to sustained economic growth OECD, IMF, University of Southern California – multiple studies. Economic analysis underpins the importance of our social justice goals of increasing equality
- In response to these trends, the Foundation launched the Just Cities initiative to define a social justice vision for the future of cities
- How will we do this? What we are working on including transit
- Challenges presented by old modes of design, planning and investment
- Note that in many cases, even when bus transportation is available, it is too expensive for the working poor to utilize – consuming as much as 30% of a days wages just to get to work Important to think holistically about transportation infrastructure, link it to housing, economic development and land use planning to ensure impact and value creation Finally, as we’ve discussed with ITDP and others, important for standards that are set for infrastructure design and investment incorporate social dimension of inclusion
- Images of the future, then and now
- Reality: Infrastructure is a major challenge in rapidly urbanizing cities, as well as in the US Upper left: traffic in Jakarta Upper right: traffic in Agra, India Lower left: somewhere in India, pulled from NY Times series on developing country urbanization Lower right: somewhere in India, pulled from a web site
