Urban Development in Phnom Penh


== Abstract ==

Urbanization presents an enormous             opportunity for Cambodia. As has been demonstrated in             countries around the world, urbanization is a driving force             for growth and poverty reduction. Given Cambodia’s             relatively early stage of urbanization, there is still an             important opportunity to shape the future direction of             urbanization. To positively shape the future of Cambodian             cities, strong institutions for urban planning and             management, collaboration across agencies, and a sustained             commitment to the importance of principles of sustainability             and inclusion will be needed. This report provides a summary             of key issues related to urbanization in Cambodia, with a             particular focus on Phnom Penh given its role as the             country’s largest and most prosperous city. Section one             provides context on urbanization, institutional and             financial arrangements, urban planning, urban service             delivery, and sustainability and inequality. Section two             focuses in on three underlying constraints to efficient             urbanization and section three includes priorities for Phnom             Penh as a competitive, sustainable, and inclusive city.
