• Canada - World Bank Memorandum of Understanding
  On June 21, 2006, a Memorandum of Understanding in support of sustainable development objectives was signed between Infrastructure Canada and the World Bank.
  
  Both the Government of Canada and the World Bank will work over the next two years towards a collaborative and integrated approach to assist cities in developing city performance indicators. Pilot cities will include Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal in Canada and the South American cities of San Paulo, Bogota, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre. It is anticipated that the draft city performance indicators and the applied results generated in the pilot cities would be presented by the World Bank at the next World Urban Forum in Nanjing, China in 2008.
