MuSPP programme of UN-HABITAT in Kosovo issued the third newsletter. This issue of the newsletter focuses on visioning. A long-term vision for the future of a city is a crucial element in planning for sustainable development and for better quality of life of citizens.

Similar to the motto of the programme ‘Making Better Cities Together’, a ‘better’ vision is about producing a vision together. A vision is not just a future dream, but a long-term perspective that takes into account the municipality’s assets, opportunities but doesn’t ignore its problems and challenges. And of course, dreaming is part of it, too.

These aspects are acknowledged by stakeholders from our counterpart municipalities. Articles by CEOs, planners and civil society representatives are insightful contributions reflecting different angles on the very diverse 4-day visioning experiences. The participation of citizens through the informal councils of civil society, established as part of the planning process has added a special quality to developing vision together.

The newsletter is available in English, Albanian and Serbian languages.
