How can Urban Development Technology address various development challenges? I want to learn more if there is any reference to this.

Hi Friend, Indeed, we will provide you with reference for more clarity on Urban Development Technology and how it is addressing various challenges. But first, let us understand that the New Urban Agenda illustrates a shared vision of urbanisation that can contribute to a sustainable future offering benefits and opportunities for all. 

Urban Technology, with the support from innovative tech-based solutions, make cities more inclusive. These innovative solutions guide evidence-based planning and decision-making that gives voice to vulnerable populations and facilities their participation in a transparent process. 

These technological solutions also deliver data-driven insights for local governments and city planners, bringing to light gaps, inequalities and risks which affect vulnerable urban populations.

For better reference, you can explore Urban Development Technology Innovation Challenge, that has been recently launched by Asian Development Bank (ADB) to undertake a proof-of-concept/pilot of a high-level technology solution to address an identified development challenge.

The purpose of the TIC grant is to introduce new solutions in ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) and thereby support ADB’s mandate in assisting DMC’s to reach the Sustainable Development Goals.
