“Neighborhoods for All – a Global Peer Learning on Safer Cities” is a voluntary collaboration between UN-Habitat, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), Habitat Norway, and VibeLab, aimed at promoting city-planning practices that enable the development of accessible and vibrant local communities in urban areas across the world. In the second half of 2023, these four partner organisations jointly organised what led to the series of five peer learning webinars.
In the following sections, readers of this report will be introduced to the Safer Cities initiative’s background, read overviews of the webinars, and learn about the promising city practices presented. Based on the inputs from the cities and organisations, the final section is dedicated to a set of key lessons that can serve as starting points for cities to approach enhancing urban safety and well-being aspects in local communities and neighbourhoods.
