X.7.1 Planning and Integrated Management of Urban Systems as 

 Ecosystems 



X.7.1.1 Pilot Projects 



$7 8,900 2 - b 



Urban systems pilot projects in different biogeographical 

 regions; 6 pilot projects in 4 regions; collaboration with 

 UNEP; links to Habitat, WHO, IFIAS, IFLA, IHP. 

 UNEP: ($50,000) 



X.7.1.2 Technical Information Exchange 



$5 2,200 2 - b 



Urban and land-use planning; regional seminars, documents. 

 UNEP: ($25,000) 



Comment ; This is a useful area of primary benefit to developing 

 countries. Support of projects and training could be provided under 

 Alternative Option 1 on a selected basis through contributions to UNESCO 

 (Funds-in-Trust, donations, etc.) at a level of $70,000 to cover current 

 U.S. annual contributions for program costs. It would be possible to 

 provide such support through USMAB administered international arrange- 

 ments ( Alternative Option 2 ) . In both alternatives, there is an oppor- 

 tunity to provide for significant multilateral activities at a level of 

 $100,000/year through USMAB resources. 



X.7.2 Training in the Planning and Management of Urban Systems 



X. 7.2.1 Training of Urban Managers and Planners 



$62,350 2 - b 



Regional courses, booklets. 

 UNEP: ($25,000) 



X.7.2. 2 Information Exchange 



$108,800 2 - c 



Training in town planning and architecture; collaboration with 

 International Union of Architects; UNESCO Prize. 

 UNEP: ($25,000) 

 Funds-in-Trust: ($125,000) 



Comment ; This is also an area of primary benefit to developing 

 countries and consideration should be given to providing selective 

 support to program 7.2.1 through Alternative Option 1 , as a contri- 

 bution to UNESCO (Funds-in-Trust, donations, etc.) at a level of 

 $30,000/year to cover current U.S. contributions to program costs. 

 A good Alternative Option 2 is to provide this level of support to 

 selected related projects through bilateral arrangements managed by 

 USMAB. In both alternatives, it is proposed that USMAB manage 

 additional international activities at a level of $100,000.
