Housing at the Center of the New Urban Agenda | WUF13 | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

At the thirteenth session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, global leaders and urban development experts reflect on the urgent need to place housing at the center of sustainable development. Dr. Maimunah Mohd Sharif (Advisor on Sustainable Urban Development), Olivia Nielsen (Miyamoto International), Thembisile Simelane (Minister of Human Settlements, South Africa), and Dr. Renu Khosla (CURE) speak about the links between housing, resilience, inclusion, economic opportunity, and climate adaptation, while addressing the realities cities continue to face around rapid urbanization, land pressures, informal settlements, and unequal access to adequate housing. Ten years after the adoption of the New Urban Agenda, they emphasize the importance of moving beyond commitments toward more integrated, people-centered, and sustainable urban development.
