The whole process of participatory territorial planning is scaled up from secific neighborhoods where the "compass" has been applied to a city wide strategy matching humn right criteria as foundation for sustainable development, with components of economic efficiency and environmental protection. In several project protecting westland from urbanization and setting up micro-business industrial parks have been strategic move introduced in urban planning codes of peri-urban municipalities resulting of applying human right approaches to habitat development plans.
