Cities and Built Environment programmes organize its work on cities and built environment, critical infrastructure, and society and human development at three levels: global priorities, regional applications and country work. Each programme shows its recorded status, from exploring and forming to active, paused or archived, and a plan is never presented as an activity. Countries take part through their national programmes and the Consortium Secretariat.

For programmes and projects, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, population density and true-colour imagery with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on India; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

Layers and dates
Urban risk is framed globally by the New Urban Agenda and Making Cities Resilient 2030, shared regionally through city networks, and decided locally in plans, codes and budgets.
A programme is shown as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived, according to its record. A plan is never presented as an activity.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Programme status | The recorded state of a programme on Nexus pages: exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. A plan is never presented as an activity. |
| 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. |
| Urban resilience | The measurable ability of an urban system and its inhabitants to maintain continuity through shocks and stresses while adapting and transforming. |

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.
