Product description

TSPA’s Capacity-Building Program for Urban Efficiency and Productivity is a comprehensive training and advisory service tailored for city governments and planners to enhance urban sustainability and resilience. Through a structured approach involving workshops, field missions, and participatory tools, the program equips municipal teams with practical methods for integrated spatial planning, data-driven analysis, stakeholder engagement, and policy development.

The program follows a modular, phased strategy that begins with engagement and assessment, progresses to scenario-based planning, and culminates in the implementation of sustainable strategies. By empowering local authorities to develop climate-informed plans, improve service delivery, and strengthen governance, TSPA fosters long-term capacity building and green impact in urban environments.

Collaborating with organizations like the UNDP and national urban development agencies, TSPA has successfully implemented the program in cities such as Belfast, Lisbon, Zagreb, and Tbilisi. The training covers key areas such as digital urbanism, public-space activation, economic instruments for urban management, and resilience frameworks, all customized to meet regional requirements. By enabling local leaders to independently apply sustainable planning principles, the initiative aims to create scalable and lasting positive changes across diverse urban landscapes.
