Urbanization is usually paired with economic growth, increased productivity, and higher living standards, but in Haiti it has taken a different course.

To better understand the factors that constrain the sustainable and inclusive development of Haitian cities, this Urbanization Review organizes the challenges along three dimensions of urban development namely planning, connecting, and financing. Planning reviews the challenges in supporting resilient growth to create economically vibrant, environmentally sustainable, and livable cities. Connecting focuses on the obstacles of physically linking people to jobs and businesses to markets, while financing focuses on identifying the key capital, governance, and institutional constraints that are hurdles to successful planning and connecting. 2018-01-22T15:33:22Z 2018-01-22T15:33:22Z 2017 Report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29202 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: City Development Strategy Economic & Sector Work Latin America & Caribbean Haiti
