UN-Habitat’s Policy, Legislation and Governance Section (PLGS) is one of five sections of the Branch and supports national and subnational governments and other partners through the development and dissemination of knowledge, capacity building, conducting policy dialogues and providing advisory services on, inter alia, urban policy, legislation, governance, metropolitan management, and urban-rural linkages.
