Panamá Metropolitana Action Plan (Initiative for Emerging and Sustainable Cities)
The Panama Metropolitan Action Plan is designed by the City Hall of Panama and the Initiative for Emerging and Sustainable Cities (ICES) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The plan?s design involves a participatory process in which the city's priorities, as well as the actions that are necessary to address them are identified, guaranteeing the city?s long-term sustainability. The process included the participation of government actors, representatives of the private sector, civil society, and the academia. Participation took place, for example, in the design of studies concerning environmental vulnerability or Urban Design Laboratories. The action plan is made up of a sectoral and territorial diagnosis, the main challenges for sustainability and the strategies to tackle them.
