Housing for all remains a central global challenge, with discussions focusing on inclusive policies, affordability and sustainable urban development.
Housing remains a central challenge in urban development, with more than a billion people worldwide living in inadequate conditions. Rapid urbanisation, rising costs and population growth continue to place pressure on cities.
The 13th session of the World Urban Forum provides a platform to discuss solutions for inclusive and sustainable development. Authorities highlight approaches linking housing to infrastructure, employment and community planning.
Large-scale programmes and reconstruction projects are also being used to support access and long-term development, with a focus on improving living conditions and strengthening social stability.
