Collective Knowledge for Inclusive Urban Development

Practical tools, case studies and practitioner insights drawn from real work in urban development.

Explore practical resources grounded in real-world practice–all designed for municipalities, practitioners, enterprises and emerging advisers working to create more inclusive and resilient urban systems.

The CfID members make use of these tools in their assignment which are based on the experiences of the consultants in the field. Many of the tools derive from the concept of ISWM (Integrated Sustainable Waste Management), and applied for the realisation of both solid waste and sanitation tools. Many tools and frameworks are explained and made available uner Tools & Frameworks.
