Preparations for the 13th World Urban Forum are under way, highlighting the need for global dialogue, cooperation and knowledge sharing to address shared challenges in housing, climate resilience and urban growth.
Preparations for the 13th World Urban Forum are continuing, with a focus on strengthening global dialogue around sustainable urban development. International partnerships and knowledge sharing are seen as essential to address shared challenges such as housing, climate resilience and rapid urbanisation.
National forums have helped shape priorities, reinforcing commitments at political and local levels. Experts stress that no single country holds all the solutions, making cooperation crucial. The forum will also highlight experience in smart city development, post-conflict reconstruction and innovation, contributing to broader discussions on sustainable urban growth.
