Over the last two decades it has become increasingly clear that a preoccupation with defining development in predominantly economic terms has frequently resulted in policies and programmes that have produced negative social outcomes, especially for poor men and women. Social development, as a discipline and profession, is not just concerned with development planning that prioritises social sectors (i.e. health and education) or social policy goals but more importantly with the need for a cross-sectoral, people-centred approach to development. An awareness of the social must be an integral part of all development policies and programmes and this means an emphasis on socially sensitive policy formulation and implementation. It is a growing discipline that aims to refine development through its concerns for national and global diversity and social justice in order to better ensure development outcomes that are contextually sensitive, socially accountable and equitable. From the social development perspective, the primary goal of all policies and programmes must be the improved well being and dignity of all individual men and women.

The purpose of Global Urban Development is clear: to make a better world for everyone. Prosperity and quality of life for all people and communities is our goal, which we believe includes both world peace and a globally sustainable living environment.
Global Urban Development was born exactly at the moment when for the first time in all of human history, more than half of all of the people alive in the entire world are currently living and working in cities, towns, and other urban places. This change has occurred so rapidly that a half century ago only one-third of the world’s population was urbanized, and a half century from now nearly two-thirds of the people on this planet will be urban residents.
Urbanization and urban development are now so fundamental to the world’s economy, society, and environment, that making a better urban world and improving urban life really means making a better world for everyone, including all of the people living and working in rural areas.
How are we going to help make the whole world better? There are three reasons why and how Global Urban Development will make a difference:
Point One: Bringing the Urban World Closer Together
Point Two: Standing for Principles and Values
Point Three: Engaging in Strategic Policy
