Source of Best Practice Information:
all of the programme summaries are taken from the Best Practices Database
compiled by UN-Habitat and with the support of the UNESCO-MOST Clearing
House. The database is extensive and contains 700 examples of good
and best practices which were reviewed and judged by independent technical
committees and juries for the Habitat II City Summit in Istanbul in
1996, and for the Dubai International Awards for Best Practices in
Improving the Living Environment, in 1998. The summaries of selected
good and best practices are included in the MOST Database because
of their particular relevance to or impact on poverty eradication
and on social cohesion. More information on the Best Practices Database,
the Best Practices & Local Leadership Programme and the Dubai
International Awards can be obtained by contacting:
