ABOUT THIS COURSE
The KRIHS-IDB Urban Development Academy - Edition 1, is organized by the Housing and Urban Development Division (HUD) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in collaboration with the Korea Research Institute of Human Settlements (KRIHS). The IDB and KRIHS have developed in recent years, 5 editions of KIUDA in face-to-face format. In these editions, Latin American officials were invited to Korea to familiarize themselves with the Korean experience with the objective of applying the knowledge and lessons learned in their countries to address the main challenges of urbanization and housing. In 2021, the sixth edition of KIUDA was held in virtual format through the IDB learning platform. The seventh edition will again be developed as an online course, taking into account the lessons learned from the previous edition.
This edition of KIUDA is intended to strengthen the technical and operational capacity of entities and public agencies as well as public officials and middle managers that implement and/or oversee policies, programs and projects related to urban development and land management in the national and subnational governments in LAC. KIUDA has selected participants capable of having an impact in their territories and expects that, at the end of the course, they will present a collaborative intervention proposal based on the specific needs of their contexts on housing policies, smart cities, land management, spatial data systems, or other topics learned in the course.
Learning objectives
- Identify the urban challenges (at the national or subnational level) that can be addressed in a collaborative framework with the IDB and KHRIS.
- Identify how land readjustment policies and joint redevelopment schemes can be used to solve land concentration problems.
- Based on what has been learned, develop a project proposal that integrates an analysis of local needs and possible solutions to be implemented, taking into account the support that the IDB and KRIHS could provide.
