DOWNLOAD EBOOK →At the second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements, known as Habitat II, representatives from 171 countries discussed an issue of global concern: shelter & human settlements in a rapidly globalizing world. Participating countries, including Canada, adopted the Habitat Agenda, a commitment to improve living conditions in the world's cities, towns, & villages. The Agenda offers a framework of goals, principles, strategies, & commitments to guide local, national, & international efforts to turn the Agenda's vision into reality. This report has been prepared to measure progress relative to a number of commitments & recommendations in the Habitat Agenda. Qualitative & quantitative data addressing a series of identified indicators are provided, where possible, for Canada as a whole and for each of five major urban areas: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, & Halifax. The introduction reviews the Canadian approach to housing. The main section is organized in chapters covering six themes: shelter; social development & eradication of poverty; environmental management; economic development; governance; and international co-operation. Within each chapter, the first section addresses the identified indicators for the chapter topic. The second & third sections review key federal & provincial government initiatives relevant to the chapter topic. The fourth section summarizes selected municipal/local best practices relating to the chapter topic. The final section synthesizes stakeholder views on the topic of the chapter, derived from a series of interviews and reflecting a diversity of viewpoints on a number of key issues. The appendix contains a report prepared by the Quebec government that reviews the implementation of the Habitat Agenda from that province's perspective.

It starts by demonstrating why it is important to address housing and settlement-related problems faced by the children in developing countries. The book emphasizes that the problematique under scrutiny is so vast that one could face strong difficulties in trying to implement a multitude of isolated/parallel projects and programmes to address a vast number of particular issues. The book demonstrates the existence of strong linkages between the particular issues analyzed. It suggests that a child-centred integrated approach constitutes a good priority for intervention. In terms of evaluation, one could also face difficulties if trying to devise an all-inclusive method for the whole developing world. The book therefore suggests that a simple set of general indicators for evaluation which have international approval should be used in conjunction with locally-constructed indicators.
