Nouvel Agenda urbain d'Habitat III

Chargé-e Territoires Associés - Monde - 19 octobre 2016

En amont de la 3ème Conférence pour le Logement et le Développement durable urbain qui se déroulera à Quito (Équateur) du 17 au 20 octobre 2016, les Nations Unies ont rédigé un projet de Nouvel Agenda urbain afin qu'il soit adopté lors de l'événement.

Ce texte s'inscrit dans la continuité de Habitat I et II et des Objectifs de Développement durable. En effet, face à une urbanisation mondiale croissante et à la concentration des activités économiques, sociales, culturelles et des impacts environnementaux et humanitaires dans les villes, le défi de durabilité est appelé à être de plus en plus prégnant, notamment en matière de logement, d'infrastructures, de services de base, de sécurité alimentaire, de santé, d'éducation, d'emploi, de sécurité ou encore de ressources naturelles.

Les villes étant reconnues comme un moteur de développement durable, l'objectif du document est de de mettre en oeuvre un développement urbain :

  • Inclusif
  • Intégré
  • Coordonné aux niveaux mondial, régional, national et local
  • Avec la participation de tous les acteurs

Approche innovante, la culture est intégrée de manière transversale dans le texte, dans plusieurs paragraphes :

"The New Urban Agenda acknowledges that culture and cultural diversity are sources of enrichment for humankind and provides an important contribution to the sustainable development of cities, human settlements, and citizens, empowering them to play an active and unique role in development initiatives; and further recognizes that culture should be taken into account in the promotion and implementation of new sustainable consumption and production patterns that contribute to the responsible use of resources and address the adverse impact of climate change." (10)

"We commit to urban and rural development that is people-centered, protects the planet, and is age- and gender-responsive, and to the realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms, facilitating living together, ending all forms of discrimination and violence, and empowering all individuals and communities, while enabling their full and meaningful participation. We further commit to promote culture and respect for diversity, and equality as key elements in the humanization of our cities and human settlements." (26)

"We commit to promote equitable and affordable access to sustainable basic physical and social infrastructure for all, without discrimination, including affordable serviced land, housing, modern and renewable energy, safe drinking water and sanitation, safe, nutritious and adequate food, waste disposal, sustainable mobility, healthcare and family planning, education, culture, and information and communication technologies. We further commit to ensure that these services are responsive to the rights and needs of women, children and youth, older persons and persons with disabilities, migrants, indigenous peoples and local communities as appropriate, and others that are in vulnerable situations. In this regard, we encourage the elimination of legal, institutional, socio-economic, or physical barriers." (35)

"We commit to promote safe, inclusive, accessible, green, and quality public spaces, including streets, sidewalks, and cycling lanes, squares, waterfront areas, gardens, and parks that are multi-functional areas for social interaction and inclusion, human health and well-being, economic exchange, and cultural expression and dialogue among a wide diversity of people and cultures, and which are designed and managed to ensure human development, to build peaceful, inclusive, and participatory societies, as well as to promote living together, connectivity, and social inclusion." (37)

"We commit to sustainably leverage natural and cultural heritage in cities and human settlements, as appropriate, both tangible and intangible, through integrated urban and territorial policies and adequate investments at the national, sub-national, and local levels, to safeguard and promote cultural infrastructures and sites, museums, indigenous cultures and languages, as well as traditional knowledge and the arts, highlighting the role that these play in the rehabilitation and revitalization of urban areas, and as a way to strengthen social participation and the exercise of citizenship." (38)

"We will include culture as a priority component of urban plans and strategies in the adoption of planning instruments, including master plans, zoning guidelines, building codes, coastal management policies, and strategic development policies that safeguard a diverse range of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and landscapes, and will protect them from potential disruptive impacts of urban development." (124)

"We will support leveraging cultural heritage for sustainable urban development, and recognize its role in stimulating participation and responsibility, and promote innovative and sustainable use of architectural monuments and sites with the intention of value creation, through respectful restoration and adaptation. We will engage indigenous peoples and local communities in the promotion and dissemination of knowledge of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and protection of traditional expressions and languages, including through the use of new technologies and techniques." (125)
