Urbanization also requires a governance system that we hope and dream of as democratic, open, transparent and caring for the common interest, while respecting privacy. This is why urbanization is guided by policies and is governed by the principle of "the rule of law" being the most fundamental element of urbanization, as embraced in the New Urban Agenda. The achievement of a model of urbanization that induces prosperity and well-being demands a relative degree of participation and social consensus on the aim of enhancing the positive effects of urbanization.
