Fourth Study Course on Specific Fields of Urban Policy 1999)
THEME
Primary

BACKGROUND
The
Asian Urban Information Center of Kobe (AUICK) was established in 1989
through the support of the City of Kobe and the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), with the purpose of contributing to the
resolution of urban problems confronting Asian cities, caused by
population increase in urban areas. Since 1996, AUICK has implemented
the "Study Course on Specific Fields of Urban Policy" for
administrative officials of medium-sized Asian cities. The course is
designed to meet the needs of local government administrators seeking
to manage urban population and development issues more effectively.
