New Urban Agenda
A/RES/71/256
116. We will support the development of these mechanisms and frameworks, based
on sustainable national urban transport and mobility policies, for sustainable, open
and transparent procurement and regulation of transport and mobility services in
urban and metropolitan areas, including new technology that enables shared
mobility services. We will support the development of clear, transparen t and
accountable contractual relationships between local governments and transport and
mobility service providers, including on data management, which further protect the
public interest and individual privacy and define mutual obligations.
117. We will support better coordination between transport and urban and territorial
planning departments, in mutual understanding of planning and policy frameworks,
at the national, subnational and local levels, including through sustainable urban and
metropolitan transport and mobility plans. We will support subnational and local
governments in developing the necessary knowledge and capacity to implement and
enforce such plans.
118. We will encourage national, subnational and local governments to develop and
expand financing instruments, enabling them to improve their transport and mobility
infrastructure and systems, such as mass rapid-transit systems, integrated transport
systems, air and rail systems, and safe, sufficient and adequate pedestrian and
cycling infrastructure and technology-based innovations in transport and transit
systems to reduce congestion and pollution while improving efficiency,
connectivity, accessibility, health and quality of life.
119. We will promote adequate investments in protective, accessible and
sustainable infrastructure and service provision systems for water, sanitation and
hygiene, sewage, solid waste management, urban drainage, reduction of air
pollution and storm water management, in order to improve safety in the event of
water-related disasters, improve health, ensure universal and equitable access to safe
and affordable drinking water for all, as well as access to adequate and equitable
sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, with special attention to the
needs and safety of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations. We will seek
to ensure that this infrastructure is climate resilient and forms part of integrated
urban and territorial development plans, including housing and mobility, among
other things, and is implemented in a participatory manner, considering innovative,
resource-efficient, accessible, context-specific and culturally sensitive sustainable
solutions.
120. We will work to equip public water and sanitation utilities with the capacity to
implement sustainable water management systems, including sustainable
maintenance of urban infrastructure services, through capacity development, with
the goal of progressively eliminating inequalities and promoting both universal and
equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all and adequate and
equitable sanitation and hygiene for all.
121. We will ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy
services by promoting energy efficiency and sustainable renewable energy and
supporting subnational and local efforts to apply them in public buildings,
infrastructure and facilities, as well as in taking advantage of the direct control,
where applicable, by subnational and local governments of local infrastructure and
codes, to foster uptake in end-use sectors, such as residential, commercial and
industrial buildings, industry, transport, waste and sanitation. We also encourage the
adoption of building performance codes and standards, renewable portfolio targets,
energy-efficiency labelling, retrofitting of existing buildings and public procurement
policies on energy, among other modalities as appropriate, to achieve energy 21/29
