Development of a national strategy for integrated urban planning and management in Senegal 

SONED Afrique 

In order to&nbsp;provide a sustainable response to the problem of flooding in the Senegalese suburbs, the Government of the Republic of Senegal, the World Bank and the Nordic Development Fund have decided to implement an urban development programme called the "Rainwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project (PROGEP)". It is within the framework of component A (integration of flood risks in urban planning) that the present project is included. The overall objective is to identify the needs in terms of urban planning and management integrating the dimension relating to the prevention of flood risks and vulnerabilities to climate change and to propose an intervention strategy in the short, medium and long term.

Feasibility study for the PADEVE development project in Madagascar 

Madagascar is currently experiencing a very high level of urbanisation. The number of cities with more than 5,000 inhabitants rose from 33 in 1960 to 172 in 2007. Madagascar's urban population was 34% in 2014, with urban growth averaging 4.5% per year since 1990, particularly in the country's secondary cities.&nbsp; It is in this context that the authorities want to set up the&nbsp;Projet&nbsp;d'Appui&nbsp;au&nbsp;Développement&nbsp;des&nbsp;Villes&nbsp;d'Equilibre&nbsp;(PADEVE). The aim is to promote more inclusive urban development, by improving access to essential services for all and reducing inequalities, but also to put cities back at the heart of the country's economic growth

Preparation of the regional investment programme for the development of the Aimag and Soum centres in Mongolia 

New urbanism

Global Works 

The programme targets two regions: a region in the West of the country, including three&nbsp;aimags&nbsp;(provinces), and a region in the East of the country, covering one&nbsp;aimag. The objective of the programme is twofold:&nbsp;to&nbsp;support multi-sector operational planning at local and regional level by adopting an integrated approach focusing on identified regional urban clusters,&nbsp;while&nbsp;promoting&nbsp;and diversifying the local economy.

Support for the development of the aimags of western Mongolia 

In any development project, it is essential to understand the behaviour of local society and its complex interactions with the environment. By building on the unique strengths and benefits of each area, it is possible to minimise the negative impacts of projects and maximise the positive ones. Taking account of socio-economic circumstances and social relations can improve living conditions and reduce disparity and inequality. Projects must be people-focused.
 Groupe-Huit employs a tailored approach, adapting best practices to local circumstances, and reinventing recommended solutions and strategies.
