The Urban Collective Action Network (U-CAN) is a network of organisations committed to improving urban problem-solving through collective working, a multisectoral systems approach and a commitment to citizen inclusion in the policy-making process. U-CAN will engage with government partners, NGOs, CSOs, academia and private bodies that are actively invested in reimagining Tier II and Tier III Indian cities.
By bringing these various stakeholders together, we believe we’ll see a productive relationship between the political, administrative and civic institutions, leading to a better understanding and a reimagination of our lived urban experiences. Such a collective understanding will increase the likelihood of better decision-making, lower implementation risks and efficient use of public resources thereby improving the urban governance in these cities.
