Abstract: Global planning document named „International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning” was made for the first time, in 2015. It was used as one of the pillars for the „New Urban Agenda” adopted in 2016 at the third United Nation’s conference on human settlements – Habitat III. New Urban Agenda consists of commitments and proposed activities for urban governance around the world. Having in mind that urbanization is an ongoing trend and that an increasing number of people lives in cities, it is necessary to guide urban development, exchange experiences about it and harmonize activities among countries as main development policy makers. Urban development in the New Urban Agenda put emphasis on housing, but also on other activities that take place in human settlements like public services, infrastructure, management of public spaces and security issues. All those activities are present in urban and regional plans which trace development of cities and their hinterland, in the way that urban and rural development can’t be viewed separately, while principles which are set for the comprehensive territorial development are integrated approach, sustainable development, participatory planning and vertical and horizontal cooperation. The process of international cooperation at the global level under the auspices of the United Nations in the field of urban development has been going on for four decades, with international conferences on human settlements taking place every twenty years, starting from 1976 in Vancouver, 1996 in Istanbul, to 2016 in Quito. Next international conference on human settlements should take place in 2036. This paper presents the New Urban Agenda and documents on which it relies onand gives an overview of the process of their creation and implementation.
