Cities and Built Environment country applications are the national parts of its work on cities and built environment, each linked to a national programme and the national source register. A country page shows only work that a programme record supports, and the national institutions own the question, the data and the decision.

For country applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, population density and true-colour imagery with place names and borders from NASA GIBS, framed on India; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

| Instrument | Usually held by | Evidence it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Building codes | Standards bodies and ministries | Hazard values, enforcement data |
| Urban planning law | Planning ministries | Hazard zoning |

| Municipal risk plans | Cities | Local hazard and vulnerability maps |
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| National portfolio | The set of programmes, projects and evidence a country maintains in the Nexus network, each with its owner, status and records. |
| Country systems | A government's own budget, procurement, financial management and reporting systems, used by donors when they deliver through them. |
| Urban heat island | The tendency of cities to be warmer than their surroundings because built surfaces store heat and vegetation is scarce. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
