dc.description.abstractHow sustainable are Ghana’s cities? This Strategy measures sustainability along three dimensions—the enabling Urban System, People & Economy, and Environment—each of which has four building blocks. This approach is premised on the idea that city systems (infrastructure, governance, institutions, etc.) must function well to deliver positive results for people, the economy, and the environment. Over the long term, these positive results should contribute towards more resilient, just, and competitive cities. The Strategy is underpinned by analytics that draw from Ghanaian data sources, such as the 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC), the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS), the District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT), and national accounts, as well as from a significant body of research on urban issues by local academics and practitioners. Global data and studies were used to fill in knowledge gaps not covered by local data and research.en
